in time of the breaking of hundred year old newspaper groups

The virulently anti Catholic Irish Independent lost at least five percent of its readers last year.
That's one in twenty of those who admit to buying it simply stopped buying it.
The virulently anti Catholic Irish Times, starting from a lower readership base, lost ten thousand readers, close to ten percent of their claimed total.
The Irish Times will run out of readers before the Irish Independent does.
Not the Independent has more readers.
They just tell bigger lies.
These figures are the formally audited ones by the way.
They will conceal the true extent of the collapse in the readership of these anti Catholic publications because Irish newspaper groups gerrymander the statistics upward with the collusion of official auditing bodies.
They're very nearly finished.
The Independent group owes its creditors something around 2 billion dollars.
The Irish Times loses a hundred million dollars a year.
They're kept going now only by the multi million dollar tranches of free money that they're getting from our collapsed idiot banks who themselves are obtaining this money out of the public purse courtesy of our corrupt kleptocratic Fianna Fail government.
These anti Catholic newspapers have no public support, no capacity to earn money, and no mandate for their bigoted war with Christian belief.
Thought for the day.
Get your hands off my church you useless Cokeheads.
(Ed note: By use of the word "Cokeheads," Heelers is referring to an incident from his teenage years when sons and daughters of Tony O'Reilly the proprietor of Independent Newspapers asked him in a pub in Kilcullen did he know where they might obtain cocaine.)
(Rod note: Heelers hadn't a clue.)
