This isn't an individual journalist - this is the paper's editorial position.

I don't know how the bias is in your papers, but in my little part of the world, I know who the papers are going to endorse as soon as the parties announce their candidates.
Originally posted by MerkOur papers here have always suppported either of the UK parties - Labour or Conservative. The Mirror is traditionally a Labour supporter, the Telegraph the Tories etc.

However, this is possibly the first time a (serious) Scottish paper has backed the SNP.
