but Myers’ job is no different than the job of “being a celebrity”.

i don't understand this at all......

He just has to exist and do stuff, it doesn’t matter what it is, though being controversial is better.

 

[Diddles]

it's the best piece of journalism i've read about the whole thing. which isn't saying much, admittedly.

It is a good article. If it had have been written by someone else it would have been a great article.

 

[egg_]

Ay I think it's a decent article in its way too. Old KM is like an Alzheimer's victim in that occasionally you get a glimpse of the remnants of a real person lurking within his persona

Shame on that AV company. Putting the slideshow on those widescreens all stretched. I wouldn't pay 'em.

 

[Space]

Do yas not think he's just playing it up again? Sounds like more of the same populist journalism from him imho.

I read somewhere that her sister did the slideshow thing. So shame on you for dissing a dead celeb's sibling

 

[flashback]

That's the problem with the old Myers.
Just when you are starting to rest assured that he is a nasty bigoted reactionary old tosser, he writes something quite intelligent and touching.

just cos he's an asshole doesn't mean every single opinion he has is up his arse.

 

[Corey]

oh! is this the teaser for the new series of thumped st detectives or whatever it was called? i suggest that brendan o'connor and barry egan be convicted (falsely - they wouldnt know how) for KF's murder only to then murder themselves in jail in a row over toilet smells

Not to turn the thread, but if anyone wants to know how Lefty Frizzel and Osama Van Halen would run as detectives in the Crimes against Hard Rock Division, they need only watch the first half hour of American Gangster. It's Crowe and his partner.

So yeah, cocaine. Terridible Althogether.

 

[Anthony]

so i hear every toilet in the world has cocaine on it or something.
I'm going to start routinely pissing on cysterns.

just cos he's an asshole doesn't mean every single opinion he has is up his arse.

But is what he writes in his columns actually his opinion or is it just populism?

More Myers Mention of Misogynous misery again today in his indo ed.

I'm not a fan, but i agree with the others who say that his articles are at the very least making some sense, compared to the frenzied lunacy that his staff have been basking in.

That said though, the tone of his article is in direct contrast to the tone of the rest of d'indo. Which makes for a very unstable and loose looking ship. If he stays, which he should, then a more detailed analysis of the standards and direction of the Indo over the past 5 years would really help him and the paper out of the myer that they're in.

A-haha.

 

[Wobbler]

When Myers moved to the Indo, there was a letter to the Times that said his move greatly improved the average writing standard of both papers. I thought that was pretty clever with a touch of truth in it.

 

[Moods For Mallards]

There was a letter in the Times today commending John Waters for his tenderness or something like that.

I noticed. John Waters' article was probably the worst piece of journalism I've ever read (saying something considering the bilge the Indo have printed on the topic).

Ironically, the Times seem to have published the worst piece about the subject and the Indo the best.

there was another letter in the times today from some lad out in some kip called Ballytore. think he posts on thumped.

[cephalopod]

And what does Kevin Myers do for a living he works for one of the newspaper who had Katy French on pages 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and in the sports supplement.

If you read the article, you will find that he actually makes a pointed reference to that. It's a common sense piece whatever its origin. I like the dig at Bertie at the end. It's appropriate.
