Irish News sells its soul

[red hander]

Not only has today's IN got a big British Army recruitment advert on page 19, but on Page 4 of its weekly 'Jobs On Thursday' insert is a 'platform' piece extolling the virtues of dying for the queen by some chinless wonder called Lieutenant Colonel Dick Rafferty, beautifully illustrated by three SAS heroes abseiling from a Puma helicopter...

The paper has been going steadily downhill over the past few years - it's becoming more and more tabloidesque imo with it's sensationalist investigative journalism etc, still, the sport is excellent.

This will not go down well with a majority of its readers, particularly given the anniversary of the Gibraltar 3 is today.

have to agree with bogball, the sport is good and its about all i read in it to be honest.  With this latest development I mightn't even bother doing that from now on!!

I'm at a loss today.
Do I apply for the T.A.s, or the happy looking PSNI, or do I go to the Army recruitment day at Massereene Barracks.
It's a tough choice today in the Irish News.
I will take a day to consider my options.....

For goodness sake! After years of complaining about discrimination against Nationalists in the jobs market, now when we do have advertisements for Government jobs open to all, you're still complaining. There's just no pleasing some people...
