Has the Sun's 'Stur Wars' front page begun the transition to an SNP-friendly media?

Well, it had to happen sometime.

With the latest polls showing the SNP could now win all seats in Scotland, it was inevitable that the media had to finally reflect that. More than half the population of Scotland look likely to vote SNP which means the bulk of newspaper and TV consumers in Scotland are SNP voters!

While commentators bang on about the economics of full fiscal autonomy, the rest of us have been thinking about much more basic economic theory: give your customers what they want or you will go bust.

So the Scottish Sun's front page today that back's the SNP is a welcome relief from all the negativity and hate-speech the media normally direct at the "Nasty Nats."



I guess the penny has finally dropped within media circles: the SNP will be the new political masters and they'd better start cosying up to them if they want to survive.

Let's see if the BBC suddenly becomes the SNP's best friends...
