The Herald’s transport correspondents outing to Arran, 2024

By Anonymous

OMG will this never end.

It’s a bloody constant with these Muppets.

On the 20 October this same ‘Freelance writer’ wrote in the Times “Ferry fiasco is legacy of SNP-run state” so no bias there then from Alf (Garnett ? Ha Ha).

You know the constant regurgitation of Ferries #BAD in Scotland as a story by the media does prove one thing.

That is that they, the media, do not have a lot of topics to choose from which they can write negatively about in respect to the Scottish government , that is blatantly obvious if they, as a media, have to keep revisiting the same stories time and time again.

That should be a positive but nope not with the UK media.

They, as a media, only have different versions that they concoct in respect to #SNPBAD to try and destroy the SNP but actually mainly to stop support for Scottish independence from growing within Scotland.

That is the beginning, middle and end of all of their political stories relating to Scotland , where their whole purpose in all that they say and write about is to try and keep a support for their UK within Scotland while also doing their bit to try and diminish support for independence here too.

So when will we finally see some actual real journalists and reporters turn up to do the job that we expect them to do.

As opposed to those who currently work in newspapers, via a majority, and who always write columns that only represent their own (biased and partisan) opinions and also those who work as so called news reporters on channels like the BBC, who also tend to give their personal opinions too upon political matters in Scotland. (way too often , so much so that many of us have detected a pattern in this unprofessional behaviour and also why it is, as a behaviour, one that they have chosen to adopt and one that is also deemed as being acceptable to their employers).

Of course their employers are the real source of their political position, as in the one taken by those that they employ to write political articles in their newspapers and also pieces to camera on various TV News programmes.

I can go into any pub and listen to various people’s ‘different’ opinions upon Politics but their opinion is just that, an opinion, and one that is based on what they believe to be true and factual , but not always, as an opinion, one that is necessarily true or factual.

(And that is the exact same too for those who write articles aka ‘opinion pieces’ in newspapers as well and also those who give reports on TV news programmes).

Opinions doth not maketh it 100% true or 100% factual.

  1. Modern life: everyone has an opinion and many think theirs is valid despite it being crammed full of misinformation.

    Social media has given a voice to anuses.

    Unfortunately, it has seeped into what passes for “journalism” these days.

    1. That particular muppet is 80 and has been giving his opinion for more than half of it whether anybody is interested or not…

      Apparently he’s ‘distinguished’, who knew…. or cared…

    2. It’s easy to blame ‘social media’ though, the main media, via big money and or government (in Eng) controlled, is the real problem and has been for a very long time. Yes Soc media is sometimes toxic, but my has it opened some people’s eyes, many in fact, too many for the rich and powerful because they also try to control that platform.
      I don’t blame ‘social media’ for propaganda and brainwashing, it’s a major concern via the broadcasting channels, BBC, STV etc and many others.
      There are amny great news programmes via SM, have a look, ‘democracy now’, ‘Broadcasting Scotland’, ‘Aljazeera Eng’, partly okish some like ‘Global news’, PBS though they lost my support with their non committal and even misreporting re Gaza, even France24, or DW news…so much to help kep up and make an informed decision on matters that concern you. Can’t say same for those who get their ‘news’ via the BBC/STV etc, and stll many many people do tune in and take what they piipe into folks’ living rooms as the truth and as fact when mostly quite the opposite is the case.

      1. I don’t have an issue with any well researched, truthful reporting.

        It’s the fact that ANYONE and ANYTIME can make a comment on SM and believe that what they say is the real truth.

        I believe the likes of BBC realised this quite quickly and decided it was the way to keep the union together.

        They are more subtle than individuals on SM, obviously but their “craft” is very similar.
