From The Irish Times of a couple of months ago. I insist you read the thing in full.

But if not here are some sample quotes

Vacuous pap, but not exceptional for the Irish Times. (See anything by their court stenographer chief political correspondent, any article by Eddie Molloy, any piece of economic Pollyanna-ism by John O'Hagan, the right-on bubble-dwelling witterings of Úna Mullally, or indeed just about any of their stodgy editorials. And don't get me started on the Indo.)

Not to mention the fact that it's badly written.

No Dan O'Brien?

Yes, The IT is truly awful these days but that article is jaw-dropping in its 'heroic entrepreneurs will save all us/they are literally Jesus' argument.

This literally reads like something from the Thomas Friedman Generator, in terms of lucidity and content.

It seems bad, but come on. I doubt it comes close to Nazi propaganda or the like.
