Forth
Forth says it is "an Irish online publication that seeks to dig beneath the surface issues covered in the news and offer a fresh perspective on Irish, European and global affairs."[1]
Its answer to the question "What are forth's politics" is:
- forth is unaligned but considers itself progressive, however vague that term has become in recent years. Our main objective is to bring clarity to the issues we cover and challenge conventional thinking.[2]
While it does involve a number of genuine progressives for a range of positions, it is also notable for the significant connections with the LM group.
