SF hit out at media over coverage of who's to blame for the Stormont crisis

A leading Sinn Fein member has blamed the DUP for the collapse of Stormont and the failure to reach agreement on restoring devolution - and accused the media of lazy journalism to suggest they should share the blame. Jim McVeigh, the party's leader on Belfast City Council, said: "Am I the only person enraged by this constant narrative so prevalent in our mainstream media, 'they're all useless' 'all they do is bicker' 'one side is as bad as the other'?" He was writing in an article for the Slugger O'Toole website. Councillor McVeigh isn't available this morning. Stephen got the views of commentator and author Malachi O'Doherty and Eamonn Mallie.
