Tartan Eagle Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 .....and now a report from BBC China concluding that "there is certainly no clamour here for Scottish Independence". This from within China, which the report acknowledges, regards talk of independence as a treasonable offence. This after an orchestrated, co-ordinated media campaign day totally dominated by NO, and then.... ....Survation - preannounced over 4 hours early to continue the domination by 3 Stooges (who cannot even be seen together in the same picture - Better Together? Aye feckin right Then a long interview with CEO of Kingfisher Then a voiceless comment from BP's Bob Dudley which can be used in every BBC soundbite Then, and I can't type quick enough to keep up with this, Paul Krugman - now being interviewed on C4 - "a disaster for Scotland" this from a right wing American resident of NYC etc etc etc I can't believe I'm seeing coverage like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stapes Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Thoroughly depressed watching today's stuff. How the hell can an 'impartial' media get away with this? It isn't even subtle any more. It's an absolute disgrace and I truly hope, should Scotland vote Yes, that they're held to account. Jackie Bird's interview was astonishing. I'm used to seeing bias from pro-union interviewers, but this was on a whole new level. It was actually so blatant that it may well have worked in our favour.

JECK Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Did anyone watch the Salmond beeb interview the night? i actually thought Salmond was superb, answered everything detailed and clearly. looked thoroughly peed off with jbird at one point and quite rightly so. There was then an interview with 3 undecideds that were basically no's. looked staged if am honest and their reasons were illinformed and quite frankly wrong.Tearing my hair out at this point.

The ordinary man in the street will not notice this and believe the p1sh about the currency. How do you make a formal complaint to the BBC? If we all do it they have to respond.

mariokempes56 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Loads have complained to the BBC and , if at all, just received a standard patronising denial/rebuttal. Waste of time and too late now. The BBC are finished regardless of the vote. Never to be trusted on any topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, that's my take on it. Thought Salmond was brilliant in the face of some screaming hyena. If they really expected viewers to believe those 3 idiots were 'undecided', then it says it all.

Khana Lagur Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Liked the way Salmond stayed calm and collected, unlike Darling on last night's Scotland Tonight (almost melted). Jackie Bird took the opportunity to try and look and sound like some hard-nosed investigative journalist - and failed miserably. Stick to easy links, cosy anchoring and Hogmanay shindigs, Jackie.

Barney Rubble Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Tanya Beckett on BBC World tonight only just managed to stop herself making a derogatory comment about the Scottish accent when comparing the Scottish Referendum to the Quebec one. It was pointed out to her that there was a linguistic issue in the Quebec debate which is not the case in the Scottish Referendum. 'oh............we'd better not go there.'

vanderark14 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) I think this relentless and disgusting media bias means we won't get the yes vote. I still can't believe they are getting away with promising more powers because a) votes have been cast and b. extra powers was never an option I'm feeling really pissed off about this right now.

Lamia Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Having said that we now really have mo idea what the deal will be because they are now saying they are going to come up with whatever it will be after discussion.

vanderark14 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 They are not promising anything more than they were before the votes were cast they have just advised of the timetable I know they will deliver all to us in the event of a no vote but the fearful among us scots will swallow this up and vote no. I believe this is the turning point and I don't trust our population get this right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Govanhill Jacobite Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I think this will back fire on them, some of the reports and what they coming away with is just rubbish no matter how you paint it up, Plus Scots IMO don't like English MPs telling us what to do, keep up the fight, We win this, PS I don't believe they are up just cause it's close, think they have private polls which show BIG lead, IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyDenoon Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Now we're hearing that Lloydsand RBS will move their HQs down south in the event of a Yes vote. FFS both these corrupt organisations owe the Westminster government their very existence, of course they're going to come out with stuff like that. Funny how pretty much every individual of firm coming out with the stuff designed to scare us into voting No have got some sort of reliance on or are puppets of Westminster. Salmond being proved right yet again when he said that we were gonna be bombarded this week and next. Hold firm. Fear is a liar. Don't be put off. The truth will win through if we trust our judgement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
