Can’t put my finger on exactly why but I hate the Phoenix. Am I alone.

it reminds me of Doctor’s waiting rooms….

No – and I’ve no desire to read poo about John McGuirk either. This publication is the extremely poverty stricken, almost dead of starvation man’s version of Private Eye.
Pat
Why don’t you have a think about why you hate it and then do another comment with the reasons in it
Cian
This is broadsheet – we just shout insults at each other.

Its remarkable that you spend so much time on here if thats how you feel.

If we were shouting they’d be in caps Cian..

Fair enough. I withdraw my intemperate remarks and urge all and sundry to purchase Phoenix Magazine – as many copies as you can afford.

I think you’ll find it’s a joke about Sasamach david.

david trying to tell people about humour is the most ironically savage thing. Ever.

They do good work bringing certain elements of Irish political life to light that the mainstream papers wouldn’t dare to touch. I’m glad it exists.

+1 The Phoenix magazine often shines a light where redacted’s own personal minions and other manufactured consent flying monkeys wouldn’t dare investigate.
Dinny Do Well?
Really? Cite one example.

Exactly its a sort of dail privilidge
Its so un pc and by innuendoes we get to hear about matters omen would love to bury

In The Phoenix journalists use unsigned articles to get at politicians and businessmen they particularly dislike. If you don’t like that kind of magazine you can always read wholesome publications like Ireland’s Own, the Sacred Heart Messenger or The Beano. I only read Hello! and Cosmopolitan if I’m in a doctor’s waiting room.

Uh oh, what are they saying about Filmbase? Has someone been caught with his fingers in the till?
Dinny Do Well?
When was the last – if ever – time that the Phoenix broke a major story? There’s no Paul Foot there, the funnies, craic and codology are the opposite, and it’s the same old Fianna Failers/Shinners at the keyboards with the usual “military/political” bedroom Airfix-making experts chucking in their tuppenceworth about Israel etc.
Ireland is just too small for any serious investigate reporting satire because a) the author will know/be related to the subject matter and b) it will inevitably be about an advertiser.
Just look at the ads for financial and professional services in The Phoenix….
