The New York Times Bestseller list is "pure propaganda", says Elon Musk. The newspaper even admitted in court it is "editorial content", not factual. But what about the Sunday Times version? Steven Tucker investigates.

These Pictures Are A Protest Against Geraldine Kennedy and Ed Mulhall

For Their Government Friendly Absolutely Total Redaction Of 'Route Irish' From Irish Times and RTE

The main route for the US Military into the charnel house that is now Iraq (2 years plus after an Illegal Invasion massively facilitated by the Irish Government) is popularly known as 'Route Irish' - the name given to it by the US Military.

It is called 'Route Irish' because it is the road US Military use to get to the Green Zone in Baghdad immediately after they get off the plane from Shannon Airport Ireland.

So the most notorious and dangerous road in the World is named for this little 'neutral' island and this fact is been hidden from the population of this country.

I accuse Ed Mulhall of the public service broadcaster and Geraldine Kennedy of the Irish Times of systematically omitting this information from their respective organisations outputs. I suspect but cannot prove that this is a policy in both organisations and believe that it is a glaring example of cowardly government friendly self-censorship.

I urge readers to phone both organisations newsdesks and ask specifically why they have (according to their respective archives) never in their prodigous and well funded news outputs mentioned that the most dangerous, notorious road in the World is named after Ireland.

"Google the entire RTE website for "route irish" and you find NOTHING."

Irish Times (Ireland.com) has a really crappy search engine, but I tried goggle and then logging-in to ireland.com to do an internal search. BOTH resulted in nothing regarding the "Route Irish" we are looking for - some about routes in Iraq, but no Route Irish.
