There's 1. glass half full people 2. glass half empty people and 3. OMG that glass is about to shatter into 1000 pieces slashing my carotid artery and it's the SNP's fault, people. The anti-independence media in Scotland is exclusively staffed by type 3.

Multinational corporations dodge $500bn tax by shifting profits to low/no tax jurisdictions. Stifle social development. Need a simple change - must pay tax where they actually create profit, instead of where they pretend to on paper. UK can collect extra $16.9bn a yr. Must check corporate abuse.

Killed by Israel during a so-called ceasefire! Where's the coverage. CNN? Nowhere MSNBC? Silent Fox News? Nope BBC? Radio silence 112 bodies. One mass funeral. Zero Western media coverage Journalism didn’t die. It just decided some mass murders aren’t newsworthy.
