http://www.pledgebank.com/binthescotsman Comments on 'refuse to buy the Scotsman newspaper for the forseeable future' en-gb team@pledgebank.com 1901-01-01T00:00+00:00 2 hourly http://www.pledgebank.com/binthescotsman#comment_2892934 Thankfully I have never purchased the Scotsman in my entire life however, this was not due the paper unfairly describing Scottish Independence. Over the past few month's I have been reading through the Scotsman just to see for myself and I was disgusted by the false and innacurate information that the newspaper prints using the Chris Hoy situation as an example. Chris told the Scotsman that he does support a Scottish Olympian Team but that he feels there's not enough funding in sports facilities in Scotland which would make the possible, but the Scotsman then printed off that he was totally against a Scottish Olympion Team and independence. http://www.pledgebank.com/binthescotsman#comment_2886423 The Scotsman is a disgrace especially while it has the title "The Scotsman". I think instead of opening papers they need to open their eyes. Chad, http://www.pledgebank.com/binthescotsman#comment_2805529 I wont buy it again. My message is wake up. Resist British rule.Vote National Party. http://www.pledgebank.com/binthescotsman#comment_2713796 i gave up buying the 'hootsman ' before the scots elections last year, i remember thinking that a worthy newspaper in scotland should report the facts with unbiased journalism, with the exception of one glasgow based newspapaer all the papers including the 'hootsman' leaned to heavily towards the union. a news papers job is to report the news and not actually assist in creating it.... http://www.pledgebank.com/binthescotsman#comment_2675155 I used to buy the paper on a regular basis, but it's articles were becoming more and more "London" oriented, also it's "national" news were increasingly exclusive to the Scottish central belt. Whilst understanding that financially, the central belt has the biggest population, it belies the title of "a national Scottish paper." http://www.pledgebank.com/binthescotsman#comment_2652105 Uill, cha cheannaich mi e ach 's math gu bheil a' Ghàidhlig aige. Chan eil guth Gàidhlig aig a 'Scottish Indpendence Guide'. S bochd siud. Ach, tha mi dol leibh an-seo, taigh na croiche air an Albannach gus am bi e cothomach. http://www.pledgebank.com/binthescotsman#comment_2391761 I have stopped buying the rag several months ago because of its lack of balanced treatment of the Constitutional issue. Pity, because it used to be an excellent newspaper back in the days of Alistair Dunnet. The rot set in when Brillo Pad and the Barclays took over and it has been in a downward spiral ever since. Its title is a sick joke because it is not supportive of Scotland or the Scots. http://www.pledgebank.com/binthescotsman#comment_2391678 Oh dearie me. AM2 is rattled and trying to stop the ship sinking. Hope you signed the petition before you left! :-) Mind you. All all his comments stay and only people talking independence are silenced. Good to see the HootsMon and their in house agitators are paying attention though. It is obviously working! http://www.pledgebank.com/binthescotsman#comment_2390581 As a regular reader, I am also no longer buying the Scotsman. The Unionist bias and blatant scaremongering have turned me right off. http://www.pledgebank.com/binthescotsman#comment_2367645 Well done . It's anti SNP, pro union stance put me off..What will the direction be for them when Liebour is put to rest for good at the next election? http://www.pledgebank.com/binthescotsman#comment_2365417 The Herald and Sunday Herald's approach to constitutional matters is much more pro-active and recognises that, as the investigation to the election farce confirmed, that "the voter was an afterthought". I've given up subscriptions to a unionist party because I was fed up with all the negative campaigning. We have a new administration and guess what....the world is still turning. Time that the Hootsman woke up to the reality. Peace. Sandy http://www.pledgebank.com/binthescotsman#comment_2365249 Chan e ach paipear-naidheachd bochd a th'ann a-nise. Cha bhith duine sam bith ga h-ionndrainn. http://www.pledgebank.com/binthescotsman#comment_2356404 What is this nationalist fixation with seeing what they perceive to be the "unionist press" go to the wall? Start your own newspaper and see if the market will support it. I hear the Scots Independent has a monthly circulation around the 6,000 mark. Impressive! ;-) http://www.pledgebank.com/binthescotsman#comment_2353921 Never buy the damn thing anyway so why not! http://www.pledgebank.com/binthescotsman#comment_2350188 I could not agree more. Johnstone press have sold out the Scotsmans credibility for advertising revenue in their southern titles. I will go further and rip up my subscription too the angling times also.
