They do not have every right to dictate editorial, whether or not they believe they should.

The property supplements are conspicuously lacking in critical analysis and the newspapers themselves never really cover issues like build quality, social housing, homelessness, or the social cost of the buy-to-let sector. When capital gains tax was reduced from 40% to 20% it gave an enormous boost to investors. At the height of the boom most of the 'quality' newspapers would have had their weekly production costs covered by income from property advertising. (The IT recently protected its back by buying myhome.ie) Since property advertising is the keystone of print publication it is quite logical that property advertisers believe they should get the press they're paying for. Or perhaps Matt Cooper will tell us different.... Irish newspapers have depended hugely on property advertising for income since the mid-1980s.

This property business is now so out of control that the kingpins believe they should control the media.
