The word 'bloodbath' used in two headlines on newspaper front pages: In the Irish Daily Mail it refers to a story which says over 700 nurses will lose their jobs. The Irish Daily Mirror has quite different news values -- their "bloodbath" was the news RTE will not recommission, the only focus is on the two "stars" who will lose their jobs.
Another "star" who has quit TV3 is also somehow included in the "bloodbath." In fairness to the Mirror, other tabloids also cover the same story, but two stars losing their jobs and another quitting is hardly a 'bloodbath'... and should we even be expecting more from an English paper with little more than an Irish wraparound?

Go easy on the 'Stars' bit.
