Well sit me down suddenly with a copy of the Telegraph, but if I recall correctly, it was indeed that very newspaper which couldn't wait to smear Nicola Sturgeon with the false accusations of the #Frenchgate claims (ably assisted by the BBC) having been handed information via the Scotland Office and his Liarship himself, Carmichael of the Falsehoods. <br /><br />Strangely, that whole fabrication hit the public without a very simple check-and-balance technique being deployed. One, you might think, that MSM peeps would have had drilled into them at the MSM Peeps Training Academy - the simple trick of Asking Nicola Sturgeon If The Accusation Was True. Oh no, why bother with that eh, important news to get out.....we don't want the star of the story ruining it all by saying it isn't actually true. And the rest is history...very expensive history for Lord Pants on Fire. Fortunately the people who took him to court had lots of friends (many they didn't even know they had) and they paid for their legal expenses. <br /><br />So, with that one story alone Mr Collier, I take your aspersions that I am paranoid, using drugs, obsessed and a numpty and I raise you this - there are just too many examples where what you are denying has been proven. By people less insulting than you, so forgive me if I take their advice not yours.<br /><br />The other part of your piece I will take up is where you advise the First Minister to send "A firm and unequivocal Stop This Now message" to all of us who dare to question the media and perhaps even criticise it when we think we are being deceived or misled. Interesting. <br /><br />As Mr Malky says above, the SNP is not the Yes campaign. So what are you suggesting - that SNP members should be brought into line but everyone else is okay to carry on ? Oooh divisive, I could see my membership card getting binned if that was the case. <br /><br />Are you expecting Nicola to dictate to everyone in the YES campaign, even if they are members of other parties (or no party at all)? Hmm, SNP already get pelters (wrongly) from MSM about being a "dictatorship", do you think that would help ? No ? <br /><br />What happens if all the YES supporters stop questioning the media but the NO supporters start - who will tell them to stop ? Nicola ? What, is she the boss of everyone now ? <br /><br />I've just read your article again and I'm getting confused. I thought we were empowered to speak out, question things, seek out the truth, to break away from Westminster rule - for Scotland to be free. I am concerned that you feel none of us has the intelligence to do that - Mr Collier, you wouldn't be trying to put us back in our box, would you ?Molly's Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14758934436580384661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256777363576557834.post-85721484721398786152016-07-28T15:04:04.539-07:002016-07-28T15:04:04.539-07:00The unparalleled misinformation from mainstream me...The unparalleled misinformation from mainstream media is a scourge in society. Never should we apologise for being well informed, and that we are, is a blessing brought by better politics in Scotland. Everyone has a voice and everyone should use it, even if it is to decry any misinformation, or, as this article provides, a misunderstanding of what actually has occurred by a spokesperson who misread the signs of perfectly innocent representation. Ok people make mistakes, and while we are happy to point them out, we all need to move on. Scotland has been a shining example that truth is more powerful than lies. Let us have more of that!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09325098364001113950noreply@blogger.com
