  Irish Independent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was re-launched in the early 20th century as the Irish Independent under William Martin Murphy, a controversial Irish businessman remembered largely for his part in the 1913 Lockout industrial dispute in Dublin.
For most of its history, the Irish Independent (also called simply the Independent or, more colloquially, the Indo) was seen as a right-wing, nationalist, catholic newspaper, which gave its political allegiance to Cumann na nGaedhael and later its successor party, Fine Gael.

The ones who can only read the Irish newspapers don't need to worry about this because they know that Americans are so dumb that they can believe that Mr Bush could lie and be honest and trustworthy at the same time.
