Sir, – Kathy Sheridan devotes her latest column to the departure of Tucker Carlson from Fox News (Opinion & Analysis, April 26th).
By my count, this is the 45th article which your newspaper has carried in relation to Fox News in 2023 alone, including detailed coverage of its recent defence of defamation litigation, the settlement of which was the subject of your Editorial on April 20th.
Why does your newspaper, and the Irish media generally, devote so much coverage to a network which virtually no Irish people have access to?
Fox News is not carried by Sky or Virgin Media’s television subscriptions, and so I doubt that more than a fraction of 1 per cent of Irish people could pick Tucker Carlson out of a line-up.
Ann Ingle: Deliberately going out of my way to move for no particular reason has never appealed to me
Gerry Thornley: How about an alternative look at Ireland’s Six Nations win over England?
Is Ireland anti-Semitic, an outlier of tolerance or in the middle ground?
How risky is it to buy a second-hand EV?
When it comes to US politics, Irish journalists often seem to inhabit a bubble of their own. – Yours, etc,
SARAH-ANNE CLEARY,
Strokestown,
Co Roscommon.
