Apart from the fact he isn’t. Depending on what you class as ‘good’ I suppose.

If Sam Lee was a Blue, but didn’t change anything he said, I doubt that many City fans would dislike him.
Also do we want to live in an echo chamber of praise? I like neutrality and I think he gets close to that. He is hardly one of the knobheads that have clearly got it in for us.
He possibly got a bit giddy when it looked like we might lose the CAS verdict but otherwise he is OK.
Unlike most journalists he can think for himself and most of his questions to Pep are tactical which makes a nice change from “Hi Pep, if you don’t win the Champions League are you a failure?”
Back on topic I’m glad Kyle is staying

Wait...are you suggesting that Sam Lee acts like every other football journalist DESPITE being a Rag at age 7? Nonsense.It really isn't. Journalists who get steers from the club can be trusted. People who get information from people with vested interests can't be trusted. Lee's original information clearly came either from Walker's agent or indirectly from Munich. No problem him reporting it, but his information on the potential transfer was clearly tarnished by source. His information on Walker staying less so.

Lee said Kyle was leaving only a couple of weeks ago

I don't agree. Speaking for myself, things he said I considered shite, I called shite. Because I thought they were shite, not because he supports the shite.
I don't think that would be different if he were a blue, I also don't think he brings neutrality to an echo chamber.
I don't needlessly bash everything he says either, nor do I have have any dislike for him. He is not nearly as bad as quite a few out there. I'll happily say fair play, when I read something I can agree with.
When it comes to transfers though, he is for me one I pay the least attention to. But don't outright dismiss or ignore.
I think the issue though is the Athletic, and their constant need to say something, all, the, time. The same goes for Pol Ballus, he used to have interesting and worthwhile things to say, but it now gets lost in a constant sea of shite they all seem to have to regularly top up.
Point 1 he isn't and you must have missed all the outright shit he has written about us, especially the UEFA/CAS case and various other digs on twitter.If Sam Lee was a Blue, but didn’t change anything he said, I doubt that many City fans would dislike him.

Point 2 The only echo chamber we live in, is a one of mostly hatred against our club, there are a few but it is a bit much to accuse us of wanting an echo chamber of praise.
Point 3 see point 1
Awful journalist.

Id say above average compared to the rest in that I can think of more worse scribes than better ones. I’m not saying the overall standard is good by the way so that’s not difficult.Point 1 he isn't and you must have missed all the outright shit he has written about us, especially the UEFA/CAS case and various other digs on twitter.
