You cannot comment on many of its articles.

I see the Scotsman want a Subscription of £3-00 so you can read the paper, but I see many of its reports and articles you are not allow you to comment on them,so subscribing does not allow you to comment on many of its stories, I would not subscribe to any newspaper that had any articles that I was not allowed to comment on. Police articles is a favourite you are not allowed to comment on, if the Police capture a criminal then we are allowed to comment on it, but if the Police have been found guilty of failure we cannot comment on it, and most failures and any corruption by the Police are never reported on. A recent article about a man being jailed for naming the woman that accused Salmond of abusing them, we were not allowed to comment on that article, but Jackson Salmond's QC was not jailed for naming two of the woman on the Edinburgh to Glasgow train, all recorded by a fellow passenger. allegedly because he never printed it, so we can stand outside any Court that Judge Dorian is sitting in and shout out the names of these woman, then do time and time again and nothing will happen to anyone that does that, I would not advise anyone to do that as I am sure Judge Dorian would jail them, but not Jackson, The Judicial Criminal Cabal protecting one of its own, now what a surprise that is.

Is this even Journalism?

Reviewed on 2019-05-08T11:54:54

For a newspaper, it should be doing investigative journalism, it should be presenting multiple sides to a story and allowing the reader to decide,but unfortunately The Scotsman is much better at simply telling you what to think and who to hate.
