News or snooze?

In yesterday's Star there were at least 300-400 words and two pictures on how Mr Cowen 'narrowly' avoided being caught up in a pub row. My remark is how is this news? He went to pay his respects to relatives of Ronnie Walsh who passed away earlier this week. Yet the fact that he 'narrowly' missed being involved in a brawl is blown out of proportion. He missed the fight by an HOUR not by a few seconds-an HOUR-that’s 3600 seconds. I just don't get how this is relevant. If it was a pub fight in Moyross it would make national headlines, but probably nowhere else.

It made page 1 and 4 which is laughable. It seems that Haiti and Chile are the curtains of the past. Perhaps it is a dig at Mr Cowen's personal life. The Star has been accused of being anti-Irish in the past you know. Have they nothing else to talk about-what about the way we are all being hit with the new pension retirement age, cuts and another killer budget (although these were covered), we need real news-not made up news. That's one X for the Star.
