SIR, - JULIE BURCHILL'S VENOMOUS ARTICLE (SEPTEMBER 6TH) MAY HAVE PLEASED THE REPUBLICAN ELEMENT IN YOUR READERSHIP, BUT IT WAS SURELY SPITEFUL, NOT TO SAY UNFAIR COMMENT, RATHER THAN "WORLD NEWS".I BUY THE IRISH TIMES MAINLY FOR THE EXCELLENT CROSSWORDS, BUT I DO LIKE MY WORLD NEWS TO BE OBJECTIVE and FAIR. I OBJECT TO "NEWS" ARTICLES WHICH ARE OPINIONATED, VITRIOLIC AND, WORST OF ALL, NOT EVEN ORIGINAL IRISH TIMES MATERIAL. - YOURS, ETC.,HILLSBOROUGH, CO DOWN.
