What I wonder is: does anyone else who reads a certain columnist's pieces believe that they are used to promote a personal dogma with scant regard to newsworthiness, balance, or use of considered tone? Rather, they seek to use the newspaper column to pour scorn on those with whom the columnist disagrees.

You must be reading the Daily Mail, if you read the Irish Times you might find that the vitriolic pieces are by feminists.Related question, is anyone else surprised by the vitriolic nature of any opinion pieces published about feminists or women working etc
Betraying the sisterhood? Surely their gender is irrelevant.mostly written by women I might add.

That's why they call 'em opinion pieces.What I wonder is: does anyone else who reads a certain columnist's pieces believe that they are used to promote a personal dogma with scant regard to newsworthiness, balance, or use of considered tone?

Here's a thought - we pay for the newspaper so imagine if there was significant feedback from readers to say that they no longer wished to pay for articles of this nature unless written in a mature and professional manner - I'm thinking of one article in a national newspaper today in particular, along with similar articles written by the same dodgy pen.
Opinion pieces are largely liberal, left wing and anti government.

I would have said misogynist but I can't spell it.
Maybe, but I think Harris and Myres are castigated because they are idiots. I mean who whould bother to publish a piece like this...and when they're not liberal, left wing and anti government, they're castigated for this, eg Harris, Myers etc
I think that Myres makes some very valid points about how biased and ill-informed the Irish media is. This bias is particularly pronounced in the print media but RTE is close behind. The coverage of international news in the Irish media is abysmal, with many major international stories ignored. There is a strong anti-American and anti Israeli slant to just about all RTE and Irish Times coverage. Their coverage of the Middle East in particular shows a bias which appears, in my opinion, to border on plain old-fashioned anti Semitism.Maybe, but I think Harris and Myres are castigated because they are idiots.
