Impartial, ethical, balanced broadcasting really matters. It is a fundamental aspect of mature, healthy democracies.

The standard of journalism in Scotland does now worry me.

How can we help get honest news to people in our communities?

@kuantancurls @BelieveinScotland We need to dump the BBC who has abandoned all its past standards and turned into the Propaganda wing of the Tory party and consisitently under reports the postive aspects of Scotland and Scot gov and esp the SNP and over reports the negative ones,often with untrue additions or in a misleading manner .It also clearly under reports or distorts Tory party failings and is beyond doubt anti Independence

It really calls for a charter of responsible journalism, with any media corp found in breach (by an independent panel) being blocked from broadcasting in Scotland.

The separation of that from government is essential as we can't guarantee honesty in politicians without it.

I'm sure we would be an independent, wealthier, healthier and more environmentally proactive nation already if it wasn't for the daily propaganda of BBC and other mainstream outlets. And that's before you consider manipulation by other foreign powers.

The same applies to the print media industry.
