My question is, is Irish Times treated as a tabloid?
Have you contacted the mods there?
What about the and/or they have there?
Does the article have a source?
Its a very poor article by the IT, they don’t name the gas buyer’s who did the deals in roubles. It reads a bit like click bait and I have a paid IT sub.
Few other holding companies. They seem to like assumption road, is that some odd in-joke ? lool
The mods here don’t consider the UK times to be a credible source so maybe it’s a reddit thing
If its like r worldnews the mods censor what doesn’t agree with them.
Oh and the Irishtimes is not a credible source, they’re no better than any of the other British tabloids like the Sun or the Independent.
Posher language doesn’t make their adverts masquerading as news any more trust worthy. The only difference is the target demographic and maybe the size of the sheets they print on.
The IT has been going down some weird rabbit holes in the last few years. I certainly wouldn’t think much of them these days
The IT is a sorry excuse for a paper.
To be fair if you looked at their columnists you’d see why. Anywhere cutting una mullally a cheque can’t be considered completely trustworthy
Is it still a cesspool of racism and xenophobia or have they cleared all that up?
Its like everyone lacks common sense. Specific countries get cut off and the reason is a lack of paying in roubles. Others were not cut off so must have either paid in roubles or are simply waiting out the feed of oil/gas they have already paid for just as Poland etc were doing before this. Its possible they have gotten direct info that the other countries paid in roubles or it may just be a guess based on them not yet being cut off.
They MAY have paid in roubles and they may not have. Only time will tell. What will be more telling is whether or not Poland etc suddenly start getting gas/oil again.
It’s gotten pretty bad IMO but sadly that’s just part of a general trend in the industry. So if you were to say the IT isn’t credible you’d have to say that most newspapers aren’t credible. And you’d have a point, but nevertheless, if the mods allow articles from other newspapers it means they are being selective in their enforcement and most likely have an agenda.

Been saying this for years! Finally
Irish Times is like a posh Daily Mirror
it isn’t
r/eu has 5000 subs
Lol there’s a post there from nine days ago from fucking *radio free europe*
As pointed out, you didnt link the source/article in a comment. That’s more likely the reason for removal.
Fuck me you can literally post NOTHING when it comes to news on that subreddit
I’ve tried to post a load of stuff on there but according to them “It’s not a trustworthy source”
Ah well if the citizens of the cou try can afford heating by paying rubles you wouldn’t blame the government’s
That’s strange, I mean, isn’t it the newspaper of record for Ireland? By what standard are they judging it as not being a “credible source”? Or, is it the other reason that the source was not linked from a top-level comment? I’m not really sure what that means, to be honest, surely the source should be submitted as part of the actual post? Perhaps I’m missing something as I haven’t checked the subreddit.
Who or what decides that a newspaper doesn’t meet the standards of journalism?
That sub is basically a far right sub.
The mods are obviously just supporting the boycott /s
Haha it is like how on Wike the admins insist that the Irish Times is a neoliberal capitalist paper
I was literally about to do an OP about the fact they reported Mino Raiola was dead today and whether they should be considered a reputable source any more!
