SKY News is another one who pretends they report ‘UK’ news but they are really presenting a dominant English perspective of the news. (that includes their sports news coverage).

If and when they do report on any ‘Scottish’ news then they, like other ‘UK’ news channels , choose to promote mostly negative stories.

The irony is that as they diss our Scottish government and the SNP look at what their UK has given to politics with the UK Tory party and their scandals, incompetence, corruption, mismanagement and wastefulness as a UK government when they were in power. Major league failures and flaws we all witnessed with the former UK government and it seems as if the current Labour UK government is going to be no better.

We all know on here, as do others like us also know, that what is behind these constant attacks on the SNP is the constitutional Q.

SKY, like other news channels, all support the sustaining of the UK so their news has to promote the SNP and Scotland as being bad, failing and seemingly worse than elsewhere in the UK.

For some strange reason (yet somehow understandable based on it being a pro UK party that governs it) Labour in Wales, as the devolved government, have been given pretty much a free ride by most of the UK media news teams in that they are often ignored in the reporting of their bad performance, as a devolved government, in managing public services.

The SNP as Scottish government will forever be damned if they do and damned if they don’t. Scrutiny upon them, via the UK media, is forensic and relentless. (also questionable is some of the UK media’s dubious accusations and suspect observations made against and about the SNP as the Scottish government)

They, the SNP, will also never be given an equal and fair platform by the UK media compared to that which is given to pro UK parties via the same UK media.

Who, within the UK media, will be open to giving the SNP a frequent media platform to prove that certain allegations made against them are totally unfounded or even allow them, the SNP, to promote benefits that they, as a government, have implemented in Scotland.

Who within the UK media is often seen or heard to commend some of that which the SNP as a Scottish government has done that is good and so benefits people in Scotland.

To answer that would be a struggle to think of any such examples !

How many times have you read or heard positive news about the SNP as the Scottish government via the UK media ?

The Scottish Child payment is a huge benefit to poor families in Scotland yet Labour, as the UK government, are giving the SOS Ian Murray £150 million to pass directly onto local authorities to deal with poverty.

Why ?

Is the Scottish government not already doing a good job for those poorer families in Scotland in giving out this benefit and also other benefits that ease the burden for those struggling to cope financially.

In fact they, the SNP, are doing, as the Scottish government, much more than the previous UK government did or indeed the current UK government are doing. (Both who chose to maintain the Child cap that greatly impacts poorer families).

The UK media are , like UK politicians, a parcel of rogues determined to destroy the SNP all to stop independence from happening.

So, for Scotland as far as the UK media is concerned, (like say SKY News), to quote the former Tory PM Theresa May I ay that :

“Nothing has changed”

(Or will “Change” as long as we stay within their UK . No “Change” either via the UK media or via various UK governments).
