How Scottish journalists appease Nationalists: Exhibit A: @alexmassie 
1. 'As always' = Let's start by condescending to our readers. Massie knows best. Submit to his wisdom.
2. Uses 'independence' when it's actually 'separation' and 'breaking up the UK'. Stop using Nationalist framing!
2. Uses 'independence' when it's actually 'separation' and 'breaking up the UK'. Stop using Nationalist framing!
3. 'the respectable idea of independence'. Wut? Breaking up the UK is not a 'respectable' idea. It's a DESTRUCTIVE policy pushed by incompetent bigots, who have nothing better to offer than division and hate. Journalists should be ASHAMED to support it.
4. But apparently it's just the *argument* that's disreputable. No it isn't. The argument, the idea and the people are all awful. You can't polish a turd, although with the Scottish media's help, the SNP have given it a good try.
5. And then there's: 'those inclined to give Nationalists the benefit of the doubt'. The Times wouldn't give the time of day to UGLY English Nationalism, nevermind 'the doubt', so why is it lovingly embracing UGLY Scottish Nationalism? Stop it @magnusllewellin.
6. The rest of the article: Separation is a wonderful idea, but please, please can't the Separatists come up with some good arguments so I can lavish them with praise? This appeasement of a BAD IDEA - that was rejected in a referendum by Scots just six years ago - needs to stop.

I'm building a media that doesn't think their #uglyNationalism is respectable, doesn't appease Nationalism, doesn't accept separatist words and framing, and fights for you. Help me with a donation: themajority.scot/donate
