The Irish Times has, [broken link removed], shown it's bias. An article defending the Croke Park agreement appears in todays edition. The author is a Dave Thomas. Buried in the article is a reference by the author to his role within the trade union leadership and at the bottom it says who he is but nowhere in the header does it say that he's the general secretary of the Association of Higher Civil and Public Servants (AHCPS). The article should be prefaced with that information in bold text; the author is biased (how could he not be). If I wrote an article about my area of employment I'd be biased as well.
If the Irish Times was interested in just reporting the news and offering balanced comment they would be clear and open about the agenda that their writers have. This is particularly pertinent when they already have a reputation for an urbanite upper-class socialist bias.
