Report on Dublin and Monaghan Bombings: Motion. - Defamation: Statements.
I took note of one comment by an editor who said the press is there to challenge those who see themselves as being in power. There was nothing about analysing objectively or reporting critically and fairly; it was a case of "regardless of what they are coming up with, we are going to challenge those who see themselves as being in power". I thought there was an air of self-importance in the comments but a little humility does no harm, whether we are involved in politics or any other sphere of life.
