Its got to a point that I no longer read some of them, especially the Daily Mail, Since Hamish MacMacdonald started his own column the anti-SNP reporting has grown worse. Last week they were in favour for a vote on the referendum issue because they claimed that people wanted to vote against the referendum. While in the same week 2 polls were running on the Newstateman and STV web-sites [still running]. In the striaght question of Yes or No, 70% were in favour of independence and in STV'S mutli question poll 57% were in favour of full independece while 17% opted for the staus quo, 13% voted for both for ' some new powers' and 'devo max'.

I rather wish the mainstream media were as honestly inclined. Lots of thoughtful comment. I rather wish the mainstream media were as honestly inclined.
