Phileleftheros does, it is the "Cyprus Daily", but it is pretty crappy, slow with the news, and seems to be aimed at the ex-pat community so not enough coverage of real Cyprus news.

Corruption doesn’t only emanate from politicians and civil servants!

A lot has been written in the media lately about corruption in Cyprus. In fact even the Cyprus Mail decided to have a go at Cyprus’ slip on the Corruption Perception Index while being completely oblivious to its own corruption in the reader comments section of its articles!

http://cyprus-mail.com/2013/12/03/cypru ... ion-index/

The Cyprus Mail is unashamedly corrupt to the bone with its incessant attempts to propagate a bogus public political opinion by selectively deleting GC reader comments, while criticizing everyone else in the country of being corrupt!

Henceforth we will be keeping a very close eye on the Cyprus Mail and continue building a case against it so that they may learn to abide by the laws and Code of Practice of this democratic country.

NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW Cyprus Mail, and those who violate the Code of Practice risk facing heavy fines, imprisonment, and license revocation.

You WILL abide by the law CYPRUS MAIL or face the consequences of your actions make no mistake.

It's the voting for comments that amuses me, there are obviously a lot of TCs who read the CM but I bet some of them vote several times under different names. Somehow they believe that loads of votes means the the comment is accurate and truthful when anyone can see it's full of shit. I've always felt comments were deleted because of inappropriate language, I've had a few ding dongs on there over the years but never been censored, perhaps it's time to test the censor.

Have a look at this trash right here!

http://cyprus-mail.com/2013/12/25/secon ... avy-boats/

Absolutely no mention of the fact that the boats are necessary to patrol Oil and Gas Assets within the RoC EEZ ...

It is these Assets that will provide the jobs to get rid of the the RoC's economic and unemployment issues.

I think people just want something to whine about and criticize the RoC. The RoC has to be seen to be taking its security obligations very seriously and not rely on others for everything. The others will help if and when the RoC makes its own contributions.

Yeah, only English text is scrutinized for information. :roll: Only an egocentric Brit would believe that! Britain spent a fortune not only in using foreign language speakers but Enigma code-breakers and such like to get information and suddenly some vlaka is going to make us believe only what is written in English is deciphered! Lol :P

CM is for pigeon-brains and no more ...

A foreigner would Google "cyprus news" and get this:

Don't expect them to type in Greek.
