DeeTillEhDeh Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I found The Sun paper the other day on the train. Their guy Andrew Nicol seems to be backing YES. ps: I finished the crossword..... I thought The Scum supported Yes for some time now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bairn Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 In 2011 thy supported the SNP and said there should be a referendum. They said they were still backing a no vote though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Good article in Private Eye thus issue about the SNP s poor mans Alastair Campbell threatening the Sunday Post. Best part was when he claimed they d given the Post an exclusive. This exclusive ? Eh.. confirming Salmond had met Rupert Murdoch for secret talks when the Post asked them.

Tubbs Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 There are agendas, however the primary one is CASH. If independence was really popular in Scotland someone would see that bandwagon to sell people the bias they want. No one has done that yet, so they might be ignoring an opportunity? but I doubt it. If the polls swing towards yes I would expect the media to change their tune. Stands to reason some media would make a move; strangely my theory didn't fit in with the conspiracy theories at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackIsleBud Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 WTF ??? I'm giving up the magic mushies........I could swear I saw a review of Newsnet Scotland ( http://newsnetscotland.com/ ) in the review of the papers on Newsnight. But that would just be feckin surreal. BBC giving a pro - independence media site a fair go? Nah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todders Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Predictable behaviour from the BBC. Now, let's see if the NUJ and the journalistic staff have the balls to stand up to them. http://www.businessforscotland.co.uk/bbc-journalistic-staff-demand-immediate-cbi-resignation/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todders Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Compare and contrast: A Yes activist is physically attacked while he was out leafleting. Not a peep from the newspapers. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=460660597370689 A Labour MSP claims to have had her kids threatened online but does not produce a single shred of evidence to substatiate it and instead of going to the police like any sane parent would do, her first instinct is to go running to the press to try and make political capital out of it. http://wingsoverscotland.com/cybernats-and-phantoms/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVE M Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I won't bother reading the whole thread but I will take a wild stab in the dark and presume its all nationist types playing the victim card to the big bad media, when infact the scottish news programmes are pretty much cringe-worthingly obsessed with the yes idea....thought as much.

I have no idea if you can find deleted tweets. It is kind of funny that Cara Hilton has not yet reported this to the police. Wouldn't you if your kids were threatened? It smacks to me of yet another made up "Cybernat attack" along with the vandalising of Ian Murray's constituency office, which, when highlighted resulted in zero evidence and zero reports to Police Scotland. Funny that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
