Most people would concede that the British media is highly biased in terms of Politics. Even those without a degree in Media or Social science realise that Newspapers have an agenda with certain sections of our society. Why then do they find it so difficult to comprehend that these agendas and bias could possibly surface within the sports pages of our media outlets.

I don’t think most do find it difficult to believe. What it is though is some believe it’s solely against City when the actual truth is that fans of every club believe the media are against them, with the usual belief that the rival club that fan supports gets favourable treatment. United fans think we get favourable press coverage and that they’re hard done to or even hated.

But the scum are hated ; )
 
They are, but that's a story that's never covered, the media thinks all footy fans are desperate for "Class of 92 Bake Off" or "Strictly Come Dancing With The Class Of 92".
If they did a Come Dine With Me The Class Of 92 im sure the players will of made sure their wife's are not there with its Giggys turn to go to their houses

Most people are fully aware the guardian is left leaning and the mail is right leaning politically but for those who do not see a systematic bias in the media, in relation to City, is not due to a life long belief in journslistic integrity or even a liking for the media but simply based on the content they read.

Its not difficult to reach that conclusion when you see the likes of Martin Samuel (Daily Mail) defending Citys position on fair play or Simon Mullocks (Blue) writing for the Mirror. Sky having a dyed in wool blue as a presenter, BT sponsoring City Square, BBC featuring us repeatedly as the feature game on MOTD in addition to the platitudes we have received all season for our football from the likes of Lineker, Henry Winter (Times) etc.

If these organisations were biased against us or even colluding against us (as some claim) they are failing miserably to rein in their staff to follow this message.

A far more favourable argument would be to argue certain individuals have issues with our business model/players etc but this blanket accusation of media bias smacks of a throwaway comment with little validity.

Even now out of season Sane does not get picked for the world cup squad because he signed for City rather than Bayern, Jesus get stick because he plays for us and like wise the media want Sterling dropped because he plays for us. The accusations of bias on here are never ending. Could it not just be possible that some journalists may see the game differently to many on here and as journslists are being paid to write their opinion than part of a sinister bias against us?

Well said, especially about Sane. It was quite funny reading those posts. Funny as in odd, not funny like a clown.
By the way, are we the same person??

Not surprisingly on the agenda thread, where conspiracies abound, I have for years been accused of being you.

But then your posts do display a lot of common sense so I can see the reasoning.

Kind Regards

Pige, I mean Frank.
