But late to the party Journal.ie. read that story on Joe.ie 6 hours ago.
@Peter Cavey: joe.ie’s source for their story was probably a snapchat story from one of their intern’s old French pen-pals.
@Paddington C.: And even if so, it’s still faster reporting that thejournal
@Sean Murphy: yeah, well… “reporting”.
@Peter Cavey: Yep, same on BBC website. Wonder when we’ll read about the Italian budget row with Moscovici in the EU or the latest on the possibility of the digital tax collapsing due to countries planning to chase their own agenda.
@wattsed: you should ask for your money back.
@Paddington C.: They don’t do sterling, yet.
@wattsed: And yet, here you all are, whining as usual.
@Bridget O’Hanlon: I know, I need to simply stick to sites that provide journalism. My mistake.
@Paddington C.: One thing we can agree on is Joe.ie is muck, a stain on the underpants of news platforms everywhere.
And dont get me started on sports joe or her.ie
