PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

It’s a shrinking audience as well, as our fan base grows and that creates a dilemma for them. Do they shift their positivity to us and risk alienating the delusional red cartel or do they continue to pamper to them? It’s lose-lose for the media because our fan base will want nothing to do with them. I think the future will be a fragmented landscape where fans seek out their own individual media possibly from within and outside of the UK.

All things change but as you say the UK media have chosen their side.
My IPTV allows me to choose the polarized channels in the USA, Fox included as well as Al J. The and Ben so BBC is alright for football results etc but CNN in UK can be compared for news content and Bloomberg for business.

At times I am at a loss to understand why people get upset because a UK media that has picked sides does not give City matters fair coverage. What do they expect from a biased media that instructs its journos to give biased reports to placate it's valued consumers.

Media is in the business of providing biased opinion not here it is make your own mind up.

Unfortunately there is still a sizeable proportion of supporters who want for nothing more than fair and balanced insightful analysis and accurate reporting of the sport.

Those days are long gone - if they ever existed at all.

I think we'd expect all journalists - be that BBC, print media, Sky, whoever...to at least not blatently lie about facts, and to state quite clearly when they are offering opinion/conjecture rather than fact. That would be a start - when guesswork/wishful thinking is projected as fact to attract audiences/clicks, it goes wrong. Not too much to ask is it...

The old newspapers used to give just news then something inside which they called editorial. This was their take on the news.
Most media now cuts out the actual news and swings straight into their views on news presented as if it is the news.

I’m always surprised that, given how the media report on things far more important than football, how surprised people are that they spin their football coverage to suit their ‘click fuelled’ agenda.

Spot on. The same MO is at play on the front pages as it is on the back pages. They find someone they can demonise and then laugh all the way to the bank as the clicks roll in. We’re the Megan Markle of the sports section!
