Only just realised that Rabin is arguing with nick Harris and not Rob Harris.
I presume they are related and nick got involved to back up Rob after getting abuse for his guardiola question.
If they are related, which I highly doubt that DNA must be worse than Giggy's DNA over at the swamp.
 
When people talk about human rights abuses, out of interest where are the links to City's owners etc made? Is it just a case of, it's happening in Abu Dhabi and they are therefore linked? Or is it guilty by association?
 
Mate, you know me, 25 years working in this cess pit of an industry. I have never seen its like before. There is now a vast herd of sacred cows who, as a result of social media platforms, actually believe THEY are now the story.

Delusions of celebrity, easily affronted, feigning moral outrage when they are called out on a global platform that is there for everyone, there for all to see.

I am genuinely considering getting in touch with Rabin and recruiting a team of 'minded' individuals who can start to out these people on a daily basis.

Spot-on. Journalism used to be about being fair, balanced, and accurate. As the mainstream media continues to collapse a lot of cowboys have invaded the industry. Many have no qualifications and are just cut-and-paste merchants. They are supposed to be impartial but spend their lives on social media promoting themselves and their own political (sometimes racist) attitudes. If the story becomes about you then you have failed as a reporter.
There are two types of fake news. The first is the totally made-up mischief (Pep off to Juve etc); the second is the re-hashing of biased comments with no context. For example when the BBC covered the FFP story last month they repeatedly referred to the Der Spiegel "whistleblower" but did not mention that just a few days earlier Ruis Pinto had been arrested for attempting to extort money from a Portugese club using stolen emails (ie blackmail). For me the second type is more despicable.

Whilst I disagree with the way City are currently being portrayed, do not be under the illusion that journalism is about being fair, balanced and accurate and that hasn’t been the case since the First World War at the latest. There are obviously notable exceptions but there has always been a bias in reporting everything. They lie about things that are much more important than football so I’m sometimes a bit surprised at how surprised people are that they have agendas in, and lie about football.

It needs people like you mate from within to do exactly that, the knights of the round table!

Tolmie, PB,Rabin for starters!
