Sir, - Over the years I have frequently bought the Independent/Evening Herald newspapers, but on the day before the election, I had read the front page editorial and binned the paper before I had even arrived at work. I could not believe what I was reading.
I bought The Irish Times last Saturday and was surprised on reading Geraldine Kennedy's report that Independent News papers owns/has an interest in the Irish Independent, the Star, the Evening Herald, the Sunday Independent, the Sunday World and the Sunday Tribune and owns 10 provincial newspapers. No wonder at the lack of follow up to her article in the Sunday papers.
Turning to RTE, in my opinion the placing of its chief reporter on Mr Bertie Ahern's campaign indicates where their its favour lay.
Yours, etc.,
