But you will find Angus MacLeod and Magnus Linklater in the daily TIMES also follow mych the same agenda. if to a slightly less pathological degree. But remember, this is the Murdocch press...they do what they're told.

Either this is because she is so monomanically obsessed with Scottish politics that she has no interest in the outside world whatever or it is because she has been given exactly the same remit from her employers as the producers of 'Reporting Scotland' have from the BBC - confine yourself to local matters. Every region of the UK has its own equivalent of 'Reporting Scotland' with the same limited scope. For Hjul to imply that 'Reporting Scotland''s lack of UK and International news demonstrates Scottish parochialism represents either shameful dishonesty on her part or dense stupidity. Or perhaps both? Every Sunday Times article I have ever seen from Jenny Hjul focuses on the Scottish political scene.
