Exposing the hypocrisy of journalists

[Henkeman]

Are you allowed to record people without their permission?
Seems a bit weird to me.

Yes, but you aren't allowed to show it to anyone without their permission. That's why you have all those messages about calls being recorded for training purposes

I must confess to not knowing much about Andy or Ray or MCFTV but what I will say is that I can't be doing with most of these fan TV channels. Perhaps it's a generational thing but aside from that, it seems a sizeable number of the people who run them invariably get too big for their boots and believe their own hype, to the extent that they end up doing things that piss off their fellow fans. That True Geordie prick is a classic case in point. The only one I ever really have time for is Arsenal Fan TV and a lot of that is down to Robbie who just comes across as an all round decent bloke and I couldn't imagine him ever getting embroiled in something like this.

What did Nick Harris' tweet say?

 

[Blue Pete]

This all seems complicated to me, I'm not on Twitter , dont follow MCFanTV. I just follow in here.

Based on BM as far as I can work out, Rabin was calling out Journos, a video was recorded of Rabin which he didnt want leaking, video contained stuff Rabin didnt want showing, a City fan leaked it and that twat Harris is a twat.

Have I missed or misunderstood anything?

Couldn't Rabin just DM someone the info for them to post? Or set up new account etc

So Harris has deleted his tweet. Which just goes to show just how much of a shithouse he is. Then again, I'm not surprised because he was getting pelters from everyone last night. Obviously, I couldn't help dropping a couple of hand grenades in myself. And that was before it went thermonucleur in the early hours. Shame I was in bed and missed that!

What did Harris Tweet that he's now deleted?

That Tweet aside.

Harris, a professional Journalist(?), getting involved in a Twitter war with a previously anonymous City fan.

Harris, you absolute plum!

This is the tweet from Harris, since deleted, and the response from Andy. Harris proving himself to be even more of a **** than we previously all knew him to be.

EDIT - Just seen that the above doesn't show the end of Harris's earlier tweet. It ends: "No need for that. Yours in football."

Laughable that he can claim to be concerned about "integrity" while pulling this kind of stunt.

 

[Metalartin]

I'd like to know what the tweet said word for word too. From some of the comments under Rabins latest tweets it appears Nick Harris bluffed that Andy sent him the video and Rabin panicked.

edit: Ah there we go. Yep, Nick talking about integrity in a ploy to unsettle someone based on a lie.

He really has no credibility now.

It is an utterly bizarre thing for a pro hack to put out publically. If it has happened, he's exposing a private source. If it didn't happen, he's showing himself to be a liar.

Downright odd.

Can the journo be sued for that, that tweet has most probably killed the lads youtube channel, I know it was fucked anyway

I'm going for liar. I don't like the sound of this Andy but this is Harris we're talking about and nothing surprises me with that c*nt. People saying Andy might get done in as a result of what he said yesterday. Well, Harris should be top of everyone's list first and foremost!

 

[SWP's back]

I asked him to come on the pod a couple of weeks ago and he agreed. I had to rearrange it last weekend as life got in the way. Since then all this shit has happened so I think it's unlikely that Rabin will be wanting to speak to anyone - and I don't blame him!

Absolutely.

Hard to disagree with that :)

I'm disappointed NIck Harris has pulled the multiple tweets from last night. Simply they were extraordinary and hope someone on here might have a copy.

Did he really tweet that Andy had sent him the video? Was he pissed or something?

Yeah, there's screenshots further up the page mate. He's off his fucking rocker

Taking it down does lean that way, doesn't it? Harris' original claim that it exposed Rabin as a shill didn't seem to have any grounds to it either.

I don't know anything about Andy, but that video came over that he was genuinely spooked and concerned by what it had become. Not the best advised, maybe, and not scripting it probably didn't help, but what he said sounded okay to me. There were things not covered, as others have said. What it appears is that rabin and Andy have different perspectives, but I'm not sure they contradict specifically (difficult to compare tweets with video for meaning) - which is different from not agreeing.

If I was Andy, I can see a case for not deleting the video - it would be his only defence to any allegations.
And, frankly given some of the reactions here, if he said he has deleted it, half the people won't believe him anyway.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Integrity is crucial...really Harris???? Id suggest what you're doing is a million mile away from integrity.

I'm not sure how much of a balloon Andy or his YT bit is any good but he's not upto date with believing & 'getting into bed' with this Journo ****.

For my money Rabin should have stayed in the shadows, if he felt the need to be more public he needed to pick his outlet much better.

 

[Franny's toilet roll]

I don't know all the story , only 2 people know that and there are two versions in circulation that differ. The main thing for Rabin was that he wanted to remain anonymous and the tape could, if used wrongly, expose him to the journos that he was hunting quite successfully. The Harris tweet seems to prove Rabin's point. Man City Fan TV probably did something accidently and it turned into handbags between them . However journos have latched on and are shit stirring. The end point is that Rabin has been silenced and that can't be good, he was doing great stuff on twitter

 

[SilvaisSkyBlue]

3 weeks ago most people,myself included,hadn't heard of either of these characters.

Watergate it ain't......

You are correct Watergate is isn’t.

But in three weeks Rabin shut down the constant stream of bullshit and lies about our club on social media to what has been lately a trickle from so called journalists.

The six main peddlers of the bullshit have been shown to have nothing in response and have resorted to personal attacks.

So I hope I hear a lot more from Rabin, it has been a joy to see him highlighting their complete hypocrisy.
