Hacks

baltimore sun

Now, I know ya might think this belongs in the Media section, but hear me out. Over there there'll be far more media savy heads, but I wanna ask are there actually any jounros in Ireland that are worth a damn?

Any kind of journo, from music to politics to opinion pieces etc.

I buy a paper every day but I change every few days just to mix it up and it seems to me that the majority of them haven't a clue about the things they're writing about.

Journo = dayno, from the French Jour = day


There is one with a city centre apartment which is kinda cool.

Journo = a mix between the words journalist and porno

Kevin Myers is my favourite Journo actor. He's the Ron Jeremy of the genre.

They existed once upon a time. Almost extinct now.

wow!

Journos is short for journalist and a hack is also a slang term for the same

So, anyway, who's actually worth reading in the Irish newspapers?

Stephen

Gene Kerrigan is apparently the only person employed by INM that is sane.

Aye, the auld lad buys the Sindo, I always go straight to the back page to read Kerrigan, he's not afraid to tell things like they are.

But god it's a terrible paper.

According to an article in the Daily Mail last month, 262% of hacks have - at some stage in the last year - peddled drugs to pay for their crack habits, whoring & to fund medicinal treatments for their STDs.

That's a 4,525,312% increase on last year's figures.

Given that he works for INM that proposition is open to debate ?

Stephen

I think he's their token rational person, so the rest of them can feel comfortable being nutters.
