Holt in The Mail - 29/09/19 - The apology to the FA should fix this.
Here`s another example of the hypocrisy of some journalists.
(1) " What Bernardo Silva did was far from the worst thing in the world. It was nothing the apology he has made to the FA would not fix.".
I am sure many would concur with this.
(2) "What was harder to countenance was the rush to defend him".
It was less this and much more the hypocrisy of so many journalists that has been behind the responses. It is about those journalists who rushed for a story, rushed with their holier than thou attitude, rushed to create a storm and enrage it at every opportunity
The very same journalists and media who were the principal reason behind fueling the abuse of Sterling
The very same journalists and media who vilified Sterling for years, never challenged the booing and racism he endured across the country.
It was ONLY last year when the media eventually got off his back having been party to causing an anti Sterling attitude.
Many in the media were shown up for what they have become. Sensationalists, desperately squeezing every ounce out of a story to drive on-line clicks and numbers, chasing advertising revenue to fill a void as hard copy sales decline.
