I have just bothered to send this to the BBC complaints department and have asked for a reply. Undoubtedly some Rag will be back at me telling me this is not the case and they are fair and balanced.

Every year I pay my BBC television license based on the fact that it is for a publicly funded 'neutral' news, sports and entertainment company. The bitter, biased nature of the company's sports reporting is both clear and consistent, and that is the BBC allows its so called sports reporters to portray Manchester City Football Club in such a negative way it is utterly disgraceful. It is clear most of them have very strong allegiances to other football clubs and seem hellbent on painting Manchester City in a bad light. Year on year Manchester City has been the subject of many negative articles, reports and social media postings by employees of the BBC seemingly without fear of censure or retribution from the 'neutral' company they are employed by. This is without doubt unacceptable and must be addressed by a company who is funded by the public to deliver unbiased reporting and entertainment and not some propaganda machine used to slant the truth and show bias towards a direct competitor of the reporters chosen team. The uneven reporting of Manchester City in relation to some of the other teams competing in the Premier League and high level cup competitions is in a word despicable. It is clear from the manner of most of your articles, reports and tweets that the author has an affiliation with a rival of Manchester City and seems to have the power to distort the truth and facts to suit there own biased agenda without retribution. This must come to an end as it is both unfair and totally against everything the BBC is supposed to stand for. Please address this as a matter of urgency as it has been going on before the company moved to Salford but since then it has got increasingly worse. Just a fair and neutral view of Manchester City football club is all I ask for but for more years than I can remember the BBC has allowed some of it's employees to treat them is anything but.

Feel like I'm pissing into last nights wind but I saw someone had posted a link and felt I should at least try. I await their reply with an already deep sense of disappointment in their findings but thought I'd do it just the same.

They do but the problem is anyone doing so would get banned if caught. Didn't some of City's boys get into a boardroom either at Maine Road or away somewhere a few years ago and hand out a few home truths?

Objective journalism is one thing but what we have now is just pathetic and they are using their platform to spout anti City rhetoric every chance they get. It is not even subtle anymore.

Yes wasting your time they sent the complaints about their treatment of Pete the badge into the never ending cycle of passing it from pillar to post before deciding they had done no wrong.
