CELTIC player Shaun Maloney is thinking about moving to another team, probably in England. "The stench of greed is nauseating," wrote Daily Record columnist James Traynor in response this week.
Haud on a minute. Traynor and his ilk in the media constantly report speculation linking, say, a Scott Brown or Kevin Thomson with the Old Firm in such a way to suggest that moving to Glasgow would be entirely logical because it would mean going to a "bigger club". They collude in the bare-faced lies of players who say that money has nothing to do with it, a claim that, particularly given Rangers' current state, is looking increasingly flimsy.
George Orwell called it doublethink - when two apparently contradictory postions are repeated so often that people start to accept both without question.
