the anti catholic bigotry of independent newspapers

Independent Newspapers has been engaged in a damage limitation exercise.
After their failure to label Catholic Bishops as concealers of child abuse, after their failure to manipulate the Pope into firing those Bishops, after their failure to conceal their own bigoted anti Catholic prejudices and agendas, it became necessary for them to pretend things were still going swimmingly.
People were starting to talk.
So Independent Newspapers published falsified privately commissioned survey figures suggesting the readership for their newspaper titles had somehow actually increased.
Unfortunately for Independent Newspapers, the equally anti Catholic Irish Times chose this week to start telling the truth and to publish genuine properly audited industry figures for all Irish newspapers.
These figures showed that every anti Catholic newspaper in Ireland, that is to say every newspaper, had suffered a huge decline in sales last year.
These genuinely audited figures still overestimate the readerships of Independent Newspapers and The Irish Times, mind you.
They overestimate the readerships because they purport to measure circulation figures, ie the number of these rags distributed by Independent Newspapers and The Irish Times, and not their actual sales.
But still the figures published in The Irish Times do give some measured recognition to the dramatic collapse in popular support for both these and other anti Catholic media groups.
The Irish Times didn't tell the whole truth however.
The Irish Times while admitting its readership had collapsed, still maintained that the readership for its internet website now numbered in the millions.
Ha, ha, ha.
The editor of the Irish Times and her staff pressing the refesh bar on their computers two million times a year does not mean the internet edition of The Irish Times has two million readers.
The Irish Times lost a hundred million dollars last year.
Independent Newspapers owes idiot banks a grand total of 1.5 billion.
