Plus ca change ......

"O judgment, thou art fled to brutish beasts,
 And men have lost their reason!"  -  Julius Caesar. Act 3: II

The Irish media are intellectually and morally bankrupt! There I said it! 
Gasp! "Servus," I hear you say, "What on earth could prompt you to make such a bold assertion?"
Well let me explain. With the election over, the press have called it a new dawn, a political seachange, the end of old Irish politics, a new national government.  Little did I know that when I went to bed that night that when I rose the next day I would be in a new country!!! Have to buy a new sat nav LOL.
     But to read and listen to the media that is apparently what has happened.  Who are they trying to kid? This new government is going to continue with the same policies as the last. Which consists of doing whatever our European overlords tell us to do, and doff our caps to them (beggorah sir! to be sure at once and no mistake sir). These are the same politicos who forced us to vote for Lisbon again with lies about guarentees, for no other reason than to bind us to our fate with the French and German banks. Yes to jobs, yes to recovery!!  LIES, more like yes to debt, yes to economic servitude.
   This is the same media who peddled these falsehoods, who referred to any one who supported the no campaign as right wing reationaries with shadowy agendas. And note please that over the last few months that the bailout and the debt is now referred to as the IMF deal.  This again is spin, it is an EU/IMF bailout and truth be told the IMF is only supplying a third of the  money at a better interest rate than that of our EU "friends."
  It is not a national government, it is merely a coalition of  political expediency.  Of course using the term national conjures images of crisis, Churchill led a national government during the war. This is no coming together of all political hues in an effort to save the country, far from it. Switch the party symbols around and you will find no difference in policies bewteen any of them. Of course no one in the media would even contemplate raising this issue. After all these are the same parasites who a few years back would have said  "oh you have to get this, house, car, furniture, oh you have to go here for your holidays!!!"  long gone are the days when news was informed by public opinion, now people are treated like sheep to be programmed to accept whatever the intelligentsia (term used loosely)  think is best for them.
 So what is new? Answer nothing, more of the same. New faces but not new ideas. Yet to read a paper all would appear to be change. Like I said intellectually and morally bankrupt.
Plus ca change plus c'est le meme chose.
