I am for YES because I want Scotland
to have a mainstream media that actually promotes the interests of Scotland to
the Scots and not the exact opposite as has been the case so far throughout the
Scottish Independence Referendum, and long before.
This is generally insidious
and on many occasions subliminal but there have been many more obvious cases.
The
one that sticks in my mind at this moment as it was such a whopper was the
Independence March and Rally on 21.09.2013. As I wasn't there due to
illness and lack of money I thought I would watch live coverage on the BBC News
Channel. Nothing was mentioned not then or in later UK wide bulletins, the
latter applying also to ITV News and Sky News. It was only when I got to the RT
news channel (yes the one based in Moscow, Russia) that there was live coverage
from the event.
It is a sad day when no UK broadcaster is showed an event
occurring in their own country involving between 20000 and 30000 of their own
citizens. I am sure if this number marched through London it would have
received blanket coverage.
A YES vote is the only way to change this.
