Dear Editor, The coverage of the US presidential election by most of the Irish media outlets is so partisan as to make their claims to be fair and balanced in their reporting sound rather hollow. This is a serious issue, regardless of one’s party loyalty. The media’s involvement and influence in the modern democratic process is of crucial importance. Ultimately fair and balanced reporting is essential to guarantee the authenticity of that process.
Yours etc.,
J. Anthony Gaughan,
