Is SF's media approach similar to that of the churches?

The current controversy and scandals surrounding Sinn Féin has seen many commentators write on the behaviour of the party and why there is such secrecy about how it is governed.

The Sunday Times columnist Brenda Power has suggested that Sinn Féin feels the world is out to get it and as a result of that it is defensive in how it behaves and reacts to criticism. The party has also been likened to a cult. The main political parties constantly questioning how it is governed.

In the current furore over the party’s three running scandals, one might be forgiven for seeing similarities in how Sinn Féin handles the media and how the churches deal with the press.

Just a thought and an observation.
