This half-gossiping is bringing out the worst in me. Any sort of a clue or message would be tremendous.

Conor Gallagher is excellent. Gavan Reilly has been a real addition to the media market. The late Paul Anthony Mcdermott was humorous and insightful.

Jennifer O'Connell is the worst for me, same article every single week ("10 reasons Food in Dublin is great").
Charlie Weston is complete clickbait at this stage too ("You could be paying 1000% too much on your shopping" - click inside - stop buying champagne)
I like Ian O'Riordan, Vincent Hogan, Fintan O'Toole, Dave McWilliams. |

McWilliams' podcast is brilliant, but his articles in the Times on a Saturday is a bit pointless when you have listened to it. I enjoy Frank McNally too.

Great call on Eamon Sweeney, a truly great writer. I wouldn’t call Colm McCarthy a journalist. He is an economist does an weekly article that gives his economic analysis. But he is or certainly was a working economist.

mick Clifford is probably the best journalist in Ireland at the moment imo. Katie Hannon too is excellent. Nicola Tallant is very good on crime imo. Sean Whelan of Rte is very good too esp in his previous posting as economic correspondent.
David Sneyed is an excellent football journalist. Edited by Baldrick - 30 Jan 2021 at 5:28pm |

I did like Eamon Sweeney's book "The Road to Croker" and the one about Sligo Rovers, even if the latter was a bit derivative from Fever Pitch and especially Not Playing For Celtic by David Bennie (which is very good) But I mainly find Sweeney's articles fairly turgid, they're like sports writing for beginners, the one about Stephen Rochford a few years back was one of the biggest piles of sh*te I've ever read Neil Francis can be very good when on form but he is also prone to throw out the odd stinker, especially when he veers into social commentary, he veered into writing about Colin Kaepernick a while back and it was car crash If he sticks to rugby analysis and humorous whimsical tales from days of yore he's worth reading Don't care what people think of Paul Kimmage, he has done enough to be considered a great writer in my view, he has upset all the right people over the course of his career Edited by sid waddell - 30 Jan 2021 at 5:42pm |

Be good if he could go more than two minutes without saying f**k any time he's interviewed He was on Second Captains a couple of weeks back and was talking about Stephen Kenny and Alan Kelly etc., he did a monologue which went on about five or six minutes and said nothing of interest, it was painful, Ken Early was too polite to interupt Katie Hannon is the thinking man's idea of a ride and a good, versatile journalist Clifford is a good journalist but blotted his copy book in a big way with the way he reacted to those far rights demonstrations some months back, he made a tool of himself |

I'm not fan of the type of 'progressive' journalism which has somewhat of an "in fairness..." attitude to Sinn Fein. Drawn from the progressive wing, they have made the mistake that the Shinners are anything more than a populist party, which could stand on the centre right as much as the centre left. Sure, its a counterweight to FF/FG in electoral terms, but the Labour Party and the SD's are the real home for the Irish progressives.

How is a right of centre party home for progressives? I have some time for the SDs, but Labour are a regressive party.
