Hit and miss. But it’s cheap. And Denis O’Brien doesn’t own it.
les rock
You’re giving Denis ideas
Iseult
That’s a spot on description!

Politics coverage: good
Money and business matters: for diehards only
Funnies: very hit and miss (often from great to groan on the same page)
It embarrasses politicians, DOB and other establishment types, so it’s worth the admission fee
Mé Féin
Good contrarian articles. Good insights. Good gossip. Humour is poor.

A lot of the jokes in the Funnies section are VERY heavily inspired by Private Eye; the news sections will print stuff that nobody else wants to touch though. They were one of the few – if not the only – printed part of the media that dared consider that Ian Bailey might be getting fitted up…
Peter81
Irish satire at its best
*satire*
Right you are
Very barstool republican publication.
The Old Boy
Charlie galore.
Continuity Jay-Z
They need to embrace the online lolz. They should go full Gawker.

I generally like The Phoenix but they’re not all-embracing in their satire. Sinn Fein always get an easy ride from them and there is no doubt that the thrust of the magazine is subtly pro-Shinner.

Lol….
SADDo
Anti-Israel, pro-IRA Fianna Fail lite organ. About as funny as a papercut on your mickey. Read it for free in SPAR and you’ll still feel like you’re entitled to a refund.
Great cover.
Never read Pheonix.Is it any good?
