FuNsTeR Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 linking the shooting of Cecil the lion outrage to the Snp ... this image is from the Times newspaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Considering how much slaughter went on in British Colonial times of all exotic animals in Africa, linking the "Crown" to the lion is just as uneducated. Although at the time the Xhosa tribe was considered animals anyway so no distinction was made between the slaughter of species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckielugger Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Did the Times give any explanation of linking SNP and the lion? ?? Total utter bafflement on this one !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 They're using negative associations, it's a tactic, a logical link is surplus to requirements. I'm of the opinion the media needs sorting out before we can sort out the politicians. Least their influence is trending away albeit a lot more slowly than one would wish. Nothing seems to get done within generations it all seems to be a case of waiting till the next one or one after . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernscum Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Where's that? It's any number of sources. Any that are not filtered through our so called mainstream media before publishing or broadcasting. Al Jazeera is an excellent, general worldwide news, broadcaster.

Bristolhibby Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I think you are right re mainstream media. Used to be a time I would always watch the news at 6, then as I got older the news at ten. It was just the done thing. Rarely watch any of them. Twitter, and a scan of various websites gives me my news. They will be an irrelevance in the future and they know it.

Rossy Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 It's just part of the lie and smear campaign designed to demonise and marginalise the SNP at every turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scunnered Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 It's any number of sources. Any that are not filtered through our so called mainstream media before publishing or broadcasting. Al Jazeera is an excellent, general worldwide news, broadcaster. It is indeed. But compared to MS media I'd imagine their Scottish readership is teeny tiny. I think the TAMB is a fairly decent place to start. The sports sections shite... And really ill informed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotlad Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 The Times responds to readers complaints: I really wish people wouldn't bite like that (or if they have to bite, bite in a "safe space" like the TAMB). That smug response from The Times just goes to show they got exactly the response they were hoping for It's just part of the lie and smear campaign designed to demonise and marginalise the SNP at every turn. Yep. The cartoon makes no sense otherwise. It might have made sense on another level if we had voted Yes: Salmond and Sturgeon posing proudly as the UK state is brought to its knees but really a massive backlash is about to ensue. As it is, the British lion is still stoating about, pissing on things, eating other things, fully believing it is the king of the jungle. Unlike poor Cecil.

Here was me thinking the consistency demonisation of the poor had set the bar in press lows... But no, printing a horrible cartoon about a horrible political parties what done it.
