Exactly this ^

There was recently an article on Carlos Tevez being caught driving while disqualified. Now bear in mind that people are being murdered, raped, and robbed so where do you think they reported this article in the paper?
It was their lead story, full front page, the whole of the second page, and I kid you not the whole of the 3rd page. The first 3 pages about City player committing a motoring offence. Even united fans fans where I work were chuckling at how a motoring offence had managed to make the first 3 pages of the muen. That sort of reporting is usually reserved for terrorist atrocities, natural disasters, serial killers and the like, not a foolish sportsman driving to his local shop while disqualified.
Then of course there was the Editorial, (the view of the paper) criticizing City for the Carlos Tevez poster on Deansgate, the very same poster that has now become iconic, and won lots of awards around the world. It was pointed out at the time that united allowed a banner in their stadium mocking City's lack of success but the muen went very quite when this was pointed out to them.
Incidently I have no problem what so ever with Stuart Brennan, I think he has written some good articles on City, and he also had the balls to come on here.
The evening news seem to revel and perpetuate anything negative about our club even when it's relatively trivial.

At least he has the balls,unlike some on here,who are like sheep and follow other non readers to use that as their barometer.

It's what sells papers though. Mainly non-football types who can then think they've formed an independent opinion about an "overpaid" prima donna - it makes their lives so much better as they listen to their millionaire pop stars and watch the millionaire movie & TV stars not realising the irony.

Then again thats why its big headlines,its a local paper covering local news,not a National,covering,wars,atrocities,disasters et.You also fail to mention the negatives that it has also given to the Rags,something that SB gave various headlines to.
You could hardly keep Balo out of the nationals,so a hell of a lot of negatives were given,but by the same token dont forget all the positives we had from that,with so called people claiming he had given his money away left,right and centre.
Swings and roundabouts,but many don`t want to see the positives and suffer from impaired vision when a positive article is written in our favour.
