Media Discussion - 2023/24

But as a club we are partly to blame. We simply don't appear to have a PR department. We have a very active 'social media' department, but when it comes to getting and putting out positive articles about our club into the press and other media outlets, we are absolutely none existent, and have been since the takeover. As much as we despise them, the rags and the scousers are truly light years ahead of us on this one. Our PR department is about as good as our ticket office.

The rags and scousers have the BBC and a number of national newspapers as their PR department. It's not the club's themselves.

Aah the good old beeb or Auntie as we fondly know it. It’s impartial you know, that’s the rules not like state tv in other countries where it’s used to brainwash & control you……

What I don’t understand is why it gets involved in bias in sport unless it’s nationalism. I used to check the bbc as a kid as it dealt in facts over sensationalism but to alienate so many & make them mis-trust the organisation, basically means if they’ll lie or show bias about subjects I do understanding then why would I trust them about politics.

Media lens explains their bias in the news but you could almost compare it to City & the Rags. Maybe they’ve given up on the independent thinkers City & concentrate on the sheep Rags.

Chomsky once again demonstrates just how insightful he is in providing rational analysis of Western power and the suffering it generates. By contrast, anyone relying on BBC News receives a power-friendly view of the world, systematically distorted in a way that allows the state and private interests to pursue business as usual.

Noam Chomsky And The BBC: A Brief Comparison

A recent interview with 88-year-old Noam Chomsky once again demonstrates just how insightful he is in providing rational analysis of Western power and the suffering it generates.

Across all their national and local radio stations, their iplayer back catalogue and all the tv output they represent great value for money for the cost of the licence and I’m more than happy to pay for it.
Go and watch and listen to what’s on offer in some other countries like the USA as a comparison.

Why do people ALWAYS use lazy, bullshit comparisons to make a point?
I don't live in the USA, why should I care what their service is like?
It's simply not relevant to the discussion.

Do you think that Lineker deserves to be paid over £1,000,000 p.a. for an hour's work on a Saturday night?
Great value for money?

Think he might do a bit of prep before the show starts.

I just read the bbc article on Palmers deal. I’ve no idea what he’s earning as they haven’t even guessed & multiplied by the term of his 7 year contract.

Don’t forget make up, that’s another 15 minutes lol….

I think TV like a good meal, hours to prepare & 10 mins to wolf it down.

Just sent this to the BBC. I don't normally do complaints but the lack of coverage of the awards is breathtaking. Name me the last time a british manager and player won both awards?
It's futile, I know. I was careful not to mention naming us or the winners.

Yesterday, at the UEFA Champions league draw, they also awarded the men and women's Ballon Dor accolades which you normally report on. This was an occasion to be celebrated as an English team's Manager and player won both men's awards. It was a compliment to the EPL and affirmation that it is the best in the world - but you chose to ignore this. You are carrying the fantastic speech by the womens coach. Just for once, the client journalists in your sports department, could have put their petty jealousy aside and actually done their job for once. I presume it is down to previous association. Your /our facilities should not be used for personal agendas. It is not he first time. This is indicative of your political coverage. I'm sure you don't realise how low your organisation has fallen in the public's estimation, but you have to realise that a couple of natural history programmes and the odd comedy, don't make a public broadcaster.

I doubt it. From the nonsense they all come out with, it seems the office grunts do their research for them on squawk and rag cafe.

Complaining is utterly futile but when you compare the coverage of this with Stone’s pre-season jolly it’s an absolute fucking disgrace.

If you actually think what Lineker says about us on MOTD vaguely resembles what is written about us on RAWK then you are truly beyond help!
