Complaint to BBC regarding Pete the Badge

[discopop]

What gets me is the guy (GJ) is new to Manchester and might not have known that the shop was that near. We all know what Mcr rain can be like, I got soaked yesterday walking from my car to the hospital entrance which was 100 yds away! Plus it's his own flaming money he is spending!!

To be fair to them they dismissed it and said good on him. But the fact the story true or not got regurgitated so quickly shows you that non of the outlets do any journalism nowadays just crib from other outlets

is there any organisation outside of the bbcc you could also send this this complaint to. an authoriity that oversees the media in general. ive found to my own cost that organisations like the bbc and the health service like to just brush complaints under the carpet.

isnt OFCOM the organisation to complain about tv and media?

There's a huge rag bias within BBC Sport which clearly impacts the editing of MOTD and especially their online offering. It's very different from the general bais towards the Rags and is based more around focusing negative attention on City. Nevertheless, we need to get a sense of proportion. Tweets from the MOTD account will dreamed up by some 22 year old bitter rag social media operative who's too immature to understand that these things can have repercussions. Probably getting his own back for all the shoeings he got off blues at school.

The BBC is a huge organisation and the notion that there's some national editorial decision to make snide digs at City is fanciful. It's a few pricks operating under the radar who do things only we would notice.

All that said, City should take this up with MOTD and seek an apology on Pete's behalf. The contempt they show for our club, manager and players is one thing but taking the piss out of match going supporters who have not right of reply is distinctly different. Also using the term 'Bertie' is incendiary and 10 or 15 years ago I know what the response would have been. But we're all too grown up and responsible to use naughty banned words now.

Maybe we should start a name and shame thread where we can put all the links to clearly biassed articles? It should soon fill up, then it could be forwarded to the club for them to lodge a complaint to the IPSO (https://www.ipso.co.uk).

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but I watched MOTD last night and was left exasperated by Gabby Yorath's comments. It was a strange game that felt like a training ground exercise with an eerie atmosphere is what the rugger bugger shagging slapper said. None stop singing from the singing section in the first half yet no reference to that. City were on it from the first minute so how the fuck that is training ground pace I do not know. They even queried whether City's winner should have stood without referencing Swansea's off side goal or the penalty on Sterling. Finally, they even had the temerity to show all 3 of Swansea's chances yet showed about 10% of City's. BBC - Blue bashing ****s is what it should stand for.

Not to discredit any of the opinions being posted as they all have merit, but lads we shouldn't distract ourselves from the issue here.

It's ONE point. Not some grand conspiracy to rant about, it's ONE solitary issue where we have these c**ts 100% dead to rights for attacking a genuine match going blue. Not a personality, a person.

So I'd urge all to stick to this ONE issue as it's the one they literally have zero defense for.

Good point, well made.

I agree that's it something that has completely over-stepped the mark and they deserve to be pilloried for it but they will either take it down and gloss over it or issue a half-hearted apology saying they didn't mean to offend anyone and it was done unintentionally. Then they'll carry on.

What defence is there to quoting the team cost of us and Leicester just before a game in which Leicester were playing the rags? What defence is there to not mentioning our game on Sunday in any one of five news bulletins? There isn't any.

Permanent reminder that the BBC's primary football correspondent for the North West, Simon Stone, is a rag. Relevant thread for the uninitiated:
