Media coverage 2018/19

You add Journalists to that as well. They are much worse.

Independent.

The partisan TV pundits are taking over football - but does it matter?
Today’s product takes elements of the short-lived FanZone option with ex-players failing to conceal their emotions


This column has heard about one pundit, an ex-Manchester City player, who is being pressured by the City hierarchy to argue the club’s case more forcefully in the media. And in recent years, City’s lack of media “advocates” has been a long-running bone of contention among the club’s fans, as well as perhaps the sole explanation for Michael Brown’s surprisingly buoyant television career.

“We’ve discovered we can sell hate,” writes the US journalist Matt Taibbi in his book Hate Inc, a coruscating take on the American news media. “This also serves larger political purposes. So long as the public is busy hating each other and not aiming its ire at the more complex financial and political processes going on off-camera, there’s very little danger of anything like a popular uprising.”

What's really pissed me off is Jack Pitt-Brooke (City Fan) retweeting all Delaney's shit.

They're at rock bottom going after Khaldoon too.

They can hardly go after woody woodpecker, he’s a bastion of financial fortitude ;-)

When's Khaldoon's interview due out?

I hope it's an unedited hour long video of him laughing his bollocks off swimming in a pile of money like Scrooge McDuck.

Hope he is doing the back stroke while blowing gold sovereigns out of his mouth. :))

This last week i have been shocked at how vicious they have turned,they are not really onside at the best of times and i expected a backlash if we won the title and not the dippers but wow,just wow

To be honest it's everything I expected, we have fucked a lot of people's lives up with our success and long may it continue.

All you have to do is read the comments section after a City article. Especially in the Daily Fail.

Bar City fans, every other comment is from Liverpool fans mostly, United fans, and to a lesser extent Arsenal fans. I think they can’t be read anymore. Time is a great healer after what we did to their club.

So, translate that into click bait. More negative stories about City(FFP) will get more clicks than positive stories about City.

Some right whoppers on that site mate, as you say mainly bitter rags and scousers . I fight the City corner.

Yep. Exactly how I feel about it as well.

Any doubts now about the media and their bias should be put to bed, even for the most vehement defender.

The same can be said for UEFA etc etc.

The whole footballing world is out for us at this moment in time.

I suppose the best response would be to reward those that do write balanced, impartial or praiseful pieces on City, with more attention/clicks. Since many are selling hate when it comes to City because they think that's the only way to get the attention they crave, we have to show it's not the case.

I bet they all had a right chuckle when their hero baconface said his " not in my lifetime" line. And since it backfired spectacularly they have taken it personally that their hero has been made to look a complete twat. How dare you City bastards do that to Fergie, lol.

Most of them don't know who he really is.
