He writes for the Irish edition of ''The Sunday Times'',〔(Kevin Myers: Anglo macho men speak for Ireland – but only their version ), thesundaytimes.co.uk; accessed 6 March 2014.〕 having previously been a columnist for the ''Irish Independent'' and a former contributor to ''The Irish Times'', where he wrote the "An Irishman's Diary" opinion column several times weekly. Until 2005, he wrote for the UK ''Sunday Telegraph''. His articles criticise left-wing opinion and the "liberal consensus", sometimes incorporating hyperbole, sarcasm and parody.〔Myers, Kevin. ("Hubris at Montrose is simply staggering" ). ''Irish Independent''. 29 November 2011. "Seldom has the professional liberal consensus been as exposed as it has in the past fortnight, with the bogus tweet during the presidential debate, the sorry affair in Naas, the libel-debacle in RTE and the squalid pickets outside the Israeli Film Festival in Dublin".〕 ==Biography== Myers was born to an Irish emigrant family in Leicester, England, where his father was a general practitioner.〔Craig, Patricia. "(Watching the Door, by Kevin Myers )". ''Irish Independent'', 7 March 2008; retrieved 27 May 2008.〕 He attended Ratcliffe College, a Catholic independent school. Myers was accepted by University College Dublin (UCD), where he subsequently obtained a degree in History in 1969. He began to work as a journalist for Irish broadcaster RTÉ, and reported from Northern Ireland during the height of the Troubles from 1971 to 1978. In the 1980s, he covered the Lebanese Civil War, and in the 1990s the Bosnian War. Otherwise he has been based in Dublin and Liverpool. Myers is married and lives in County Kildare. He is the brother-in-law of TV presenter, producer and UK ''Big Brother'' housemate Anna Nolan. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kevin Myers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
