Musician Jim Corr’s complaint over an article that described him as a an ‘online quack’ has not been upheld by the Press ombudsman
Jim Corr thought, for the crack
He’d complain when he was called a quack
But the ombudsman found
The description was sound
Which must feel like a stab in the back

I always thought, in a similar vein, when John Waters was threatening to sue RTE for being referred to live on air as a homophobe, it would have been quite simple to provide multiple examples to the court of times when John Waters appeared to be a homophobe.
RTE bends over backwards for stuff like this. If they grew a backbone when it came to legitimate complaints, I might have a modicum of respect for the organisation.
Obviously callling Jim Corr a quack was completely wrong.
I’m sure they meant Qrank but the spellchecker amended it.
Justice for Jim!!
