Scotland is served by 37 national or daily newspapers. Not a single one supports independence. (The only publication to back a Yes vote is a weekly.) Almost all of them are owned and/or controlled outside Scotland. When Scotland faces a decision as important as the one it’ll make on September the 18th 2014, the press being so overwhelmingly skewed to one side is a problem for democracy.
To be blunt, a great deal of what Scots have been told about independence in the last few years by Unionist politicians and the media is a tissue of flat-out lies, half-truths, deliberate omissions and misrepresentations. In this book - using fully-referenced, impartial sources that you can check for yourself - we’ll fill in the gaps so that you can see the whole picture.
