Broon2 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 The Record is a 'No' supporter and most folk know this. Fridays 'YES' edition is a token gesture, no more no less, this will allow them, they think, to state in future that they are a balanced newspaper and they didn't take sides...wish I had a crystal ball to see their front page on 18 September ( oh and the 19th). A weekly column by Joan McAlpine and the odd comment here and there does not a balanced newspaper make ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their front page on the 18th will likely blow the Sun's front page from the 2007 election out of the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IJM Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I don't care one way or another. When I saw the contest near the top-right of the page, I thought that Jon Anderson had changed quite a bit! (for the better....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually find it galling that Salmond has climbed in bed with them, even for this one issue, when he knows what they have been like beforehand. They and their journos are scvm, end off.

peever1745 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 The funny thing with this picture is on the news you saw who was infront of him.It was not a crowd of Labour or No voters it was just photographers.As for the Daily Retart I would nae buy it even if wee Nichola was on page 3 naked. Just don't put money in their pockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchair Bob Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Read the record today on my lunch break. It was like Alice through the looking glass. Was I really reading the Daily Record, with content endorsing independence?! (don't worry, later on in the paper there's a bit where Jim Murphy claims Yes supporters are going around in organised mobs disrupting democracy - fud). If the Record had had content like this over the last two years, a yes landslide would have been a foregone conclusion. We can still win despite them, but what a contrast with how easy it was in 1997 when the indigenous media was all for yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstevie007 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Bought the DR for the first time in about 20 years today. Still a pile o' shite regardless of today's front page. Won't be buying it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because devloution was Labour policy it was the greatest thing since sliced bread back in '97. If Labour supported independence it would be the same story now. All I'll say is thank goodness for social media, because without it Yes would have no chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld_Reekie Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 All I'll say is thank goodness for social media, because without it Yes would have no chance. Absolutely. We wouldnt even be close IMO and the entrenchment in support of No is far greater than even I thought it would be. It is incredible how difficult it is to get people to engage in politics when you consider how much of their own money, via taxation, they invest in government and society. It also goes to show the power the establishment has over the system and people in general. We have to break it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Yes wins, it will have been in the face of an incredible establishment propaganda barrage. But now, for the first time, the internet has allowed us to bypass the traditional media. If No wins, I would expect the UK government to be looking at ways of legislating for greater control of the internet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
