As long as that paper has existed Scotland has been part of the British Isles. Clearly they don’t agree with you on independence and that’s your issue, nothing more.

OTT Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Don't think their coverage has been great. Our country feels very divided and any coverage of Independence has not felt impartial. If you alienate around half your readership you're always going to be on a hiding to nothing. That letter published in the Scotsman from a hibs fan was woeful. Like the delusional rantings of a madman. Awful decision and not helpful on any level. Makes Hibs fans look petty, brings up Hearts previous financial woes and makes the editor look like a wankpiece.

Forgot their roots so hell mend them Snake oil salesmen deserve to be called out and they were. Never mind searching questions from the Scotsman, there should have been a public inquiry into the deception that was the White Paper on Independence. Salmond getting his comeuppance now in other ways though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the real world, much of the actual Scotsman’s op-ed is anything but, and it has multiple ‘Sturgeon, indyref2’ headlines every week. But let not reality trouble us. ah the well managed newspaper that were owned by the Barclay twins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scotsman is an ultra Yoon rag which prints endless anti-Scottish lies and propaganda on a daily basis. We all know who is lacking touch with reality on this thread.

Maybe worthy of another of your suggested public enquiries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes Hibs fans look petty, brings up Hearts previous financial woes and makes the editor look like a wankpiece. The Scotsman used to support Devolution, if not full Home Rule. Then they went full Yoon, and you NEVER go full Yoon. There are 40 so-called newspapers all punting the same self-loathing hatred of Scotland for those who desire such neo-Nazi filth. Just being honest and even-handed, report the truth not labservative press releases, and ban the green ink gang. We can see exactly what sort of people are defending the scum and their behaviour on here. Strangely it seems to be the same people who want to wave their tea-towels and long to be at their true home in Govan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
