Media bias against City

[squirtyflower]

none with english champions on?

Got to the end of the section now, no more adverts

Maybe they'll be more during the week, but I won't see them as I only buy the Sunday edition, that lasts me all week

Expanding the agenda to more than one team then it seems

Thanks for the sarcasm, much appreciated mate
I said I had seen two ads and that I may see more but doubt it as I don't buy the weekly, meanwhile I didn't say it was part of an agenda.

I was actually replying to a poster saying I'd seen a variant of his ad and maybe that warranted waiting for further variants
However, like other notable ostriches, you are quick to defame and piss take out of those who merely state what they have seen, without comment.
This seems to be the MO of certain people in here, to take the piss out of fellow blues for making an observation about something that actually happened, with or without comment to it.
It saddens me that the piss taking seems to take precedence over the facts.

Needless to say you have the facility to "ignore" my posts, I don't have the same luxury.

How often are wages added onto our transfer fees to give papers large bold headlines that appeal to the dumb ie Star today: "Manchester City may have to spend £155m to sign Paul Pogba. Juventus want £80m for the 22-year-old France midfielder, who wants a five-year contract at £250k-a-week - which is £65m - plus a signing-on fee of £10m"

They rarely do this for any other team ie "Manchester United have signed winger Angel Di Maria from Real Madrid for a British record transfer fee of £59.7m". Note not included any wages or signing on fees on top of that

Spot on. They NEVER do it for other English clubs. Only us.
And people think there is no agenda?

There is an Agenda.... making money.

which is why there's many negative stories about City as this engages all the Rags/Dippers/Gunners fans into clickbaiting.
Most people aren't aware of this as they just think: hey, news story here, it keeps me entertained, failing to note the reasoning behind a company employing somebody to write the article and publish it on webservers which cost money to operate.

This then further increases the hatred towards City from these club's fans and they start reading this kind of story even more, clicking more news stories about City.

The same applies to let's say Daily Mail and their "immigration" keyword, which targets a certain mindset of people.
Thus making them money.

The actual guy who operates Daily Mails server could be the biggest City fan in the world, or a left wing socialist, but he's paid a decent salary to publish stories about how much City are "moneybag" cunts, or how UKIP are here to save the white race.

Such a nothing article. Clearly MEN is scared how we are going to blow the scum away in the transfer window.

You speak the truth, but this debate will rage on for years.

Looking at Newsnow over the past couple of days, the Mirror are at their biased best!
Article yesterday about Pogba – Pogba urged not to join City, but join Barca - by... somebody who works for Barca!
Today - Pogba won't leave Juve, by... Patrice Evra!
Tomorrow they may as well just say "Please don't join City!"
