Media bias against City

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Talkshite don't get much write. Last week they though Armada: 12 Days to Save England was a one off programme rather than a series. Not football related I know but they get things wrong they are raving about!

They're probably still trying to figure out, who is/was Armada ? ;-)

Just unbelievable how blatant some of them are.

The bias-deniers overlook one simple fact. Tory papers like the Telegraph, Mail & Sun are openly strongly biased in favour of the Conservative Party, and their editorial policy is to big up the Tories and slag off the Opposition at every opportunity. They would not pretend anything else. They do not claim to present an evenly-balanced view of political affairs.

It follows logically, then, that bias exists, so why on earth would bias not exist in the sports department of such papers, bigging-up and slagging-off to suit their views? Since their reporting of public affairs is avowedly slanted to favour their preferred party, why should their reporting of sports issues even remotely claim to be objective and/or fair?

Political agendas exist, so sporting ones must also exist.

What about the Grauniad. Is it also a righty rag? Because it is not but a rag fanzine with the unbearable waste of oxygen and certified c unt Jamie Jackson leading the anti City tirades.

It's a positive news day lol!

A) Denayer is the next Kompany
B) The City brand is the 4th most valuable in world football; and
C) Yaya wins the Laurier Cunningham award for challenging racism.

Just when I was beginning to believe in the agenda!!

meh, is Pulis one of the masses ? Pardew ? Kyle Walker and all the other players in team of the year over Sergio and Silva this year when its a fact they performed better ? still think there is more to it than you think

Those things are voted for by the players who play against them.

That somes up the craziness of the thread in a nutshell.

The allegation of an 'agenda' within this thread has been thrown across so many organisations, individuals, media outlets it borders on the ridiculous and incredibly when individuals such as myself refute the allegation, encompassing so many differing organisations, we get accused of being trolls.

As you have said the 'agenda' means different things to different people. This in itself highlights that people who genuinely believe in its exsistence cannot even conclude who are the active participants, yet they throw scorn on others who question it.

In effect expecting individuals to believe its exsistence yet not defining the parameters of the collusion or stating explicitly those involved.

The typical allegation is the media. Who in the media? I have read the Daily Mail, so that includes Martin Samuel?, Daily Mirror, Simon Mullock then? or even Sky, which, if memory serves me correct invested in the club once upon a time , and I guess as one of their lead anchors Mike Wedderburn must be culpable within this narrative of undermining the club.

There is plenty of shite Journalism out there. Some of it ill-informed and by individuals who do not like us. Ive never disputed that. I have also seen plenty of shite refereeing, both for and against but with no tangible evidence im not going to accuse a whole profession of being corrupt.

Good post

That's taking the piss but Talkshites shows are piss poor. They had a so called expert on this morning talking about Wiggins breaking the Cycling one hour record, who knew sweet FA!

Are you incapable of grasping the concept of meaning?
