editforth took a partisan left-libertarian stance[5] on current affairs that was described as "sometimes offbeat, often original" by Irish journalist Gerard Cunnigham.[6] The magazine criticized the 'lynching' of Jan Moir, a stance noted by The Guardian and criticized by The Independent newspapers.[7][8] The magazine has also criticized Ireland's trade unions as timid and in decline,[9] and argued that Trinity College Dublin should be demolished,[10] prompting a response from Senator David Norris.[11]
