Fotbawmad Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Master debating there. Unless you're a blinkered No voter (which you probably are), then I can't see how anyone could say Marr was giving him Salmond an easy ride, or how it's a conspiracy theory that the BBC wants a No vote.

Baxter Parp Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Missed it... What was marrs mistake? He said "I think it will be difficult for Scotland to join the EU" giving the impression that he was expressing either his own opinion or the BBC's, which is obviously poor journalism and contrary to BBC trust guidelines.

ecto Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Er, no. The people complaining about this shouldn't switch over somewhere else and ignore it since there's lots of undecideds who are watching the BBC thinking it's impartial and judging their opinion accordingly. Hold on the undecided have in the last month have gone from the "battleground" to the "don't matter" apparently If you have a complaint about the BBC complain to them, don't use this forum, remember 400 Rangers fans almost got Jim Spence sacked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vacamion Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Unless you're a blinkered No voter (which you probably are), then I can't see how anyone could say Marr was giving him Salmond an easy ride, or how it's a conspiracy theory that the BBC wants a No vote. See - you could have said this (much though I disagree with it) in your initial response, rather than post the generic and quite unexplanatory meme. I have already explained earlier in the thread why I consider that Marr gave him an easy ride. A competent interviewer (Paxo, Jon Snow?) would have taken a lot more issue with what the FM was saying. Marr was too busy being side stepped, then flustered, then embarrassed. As for presuming me to be "blinkered", if someone having a different opinion makes you call them blinkered, have fun with that. The conspiracy stuff is always going to be raised as an allegation by No Voters when some commentators, particularly online, constantly cry "foul" and see a conspiracy in stuff like the choice of colour scheme of a TV studio set.

ayrmad Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 No, he never explains anything, he spouts then moves on to something else, he needs to be interviewed by either Paxman or Humphries, to try and get some proper answer from him, he is far to slippery for some interviewers Like this from 2:10 in? embarrassing.

Scary Bear Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 The negativity campaign in the media certainly seems to be ramping up. It'll be interesting to see just how hysterical they have become by September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically he was saying what every other Labour supporter has said when defending the union, which is Vote No, Vote Labour, everything will be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
