View Full Version : Why do people find it so odd that there are so few media outlets supporting Scottish Independence?

They seem to see this as an indication of some sort of conspiracy as opposed to a reflection of the fact that Scottish Independence is, by any serious measure, a really terrible idea for Scotland.

I presume you've read the latest Monobot tract on this? I thought he hit the nail on the head.

It was a bizarre and incoherent rant against...well, everyone, really, including the hand that feeds him. Interestingly, in this screed decrying the media's views, he didn't once deal with any of the issues raised, simply dismissed them as part of the corporate media's agenda. Equally, when he supported scotch independence, he did so entirely defined by the terms of an English lefty who wants to stick two fingers up to 'The establishment' (whatever the f**k that is). The man's pathetic.

Ah right, that's why I agreed with so much of it.

tory party. It behoves voters to be a bit grown up about things.

They won't, of course, which is why universal suffrage is such a terrible, terrible idea. People are morons.

to reckons. They reckon all the social media noise and shouting by the Yes lot is masking a lot of fundamental opposition to the idea - particularly among older people, who ALWAYS turn out.

I've seen the other things he's said about it and I share none of those.
