If the Irish and Italians swapped countries

Article Abstract:

Article Abstract:

Journalists cover up major stories and are not unbiased as they are supposed to be. One newspaper, for example, reported that an opera singer lost her voice during a performance, but only put this in the review section, not on the front page.
