Denis O’Brien has an opinion piece<\/a> in today’s Irish Times defending himself (and by extension his journalists) against the charge that he “despises” journalism. <\/p>\n

He cites, as evidence of his support for quality journalism, the fact that he has spent \u20ac20m on Newstalk radio. <\/p>\n

You can listen to me tell the tale below. The clip is approximately 3 minutes long. <\/p>\n
