Do you remember Maguire's very sympathetic BBC interview following the arrest in Mykonos?
As it really did have utd's grubby mits all over it and it was a piece of propaganda, under the freedom of information act I made two requests
See below their reply with the requests


Thank you for your request to the BBC of 28th August 2020 seeking the following information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (‘the Act’):

With regard to an interview with Harry Maguire, conducted by Dan Roan which was broadcast on the BBC One 10 o'clock news on Thursday 27th August 2020
I request two pieces of information
1/ In which country was the interview conducted?
2/ Who paid for Dan Roan's travel, accommodation and sustenance?
I look forward to you furnishing me with the information requested

The information you have requested is excluded from the Act because if held it would be held for the purposes of ‘journalism, art or literature.’ The BBC is therefore not obliged to provide this information to you and will not be doing so on this occasion. Part VI of Schedule 1 to FOIA provides that information held by the BBC and the other public service broadcasters is only covered by the Act if it is held for ‘purposes other than those of journalism, art or literature”. The BBC is not required to supply information held for the purposes of creating the BBC’s output or information that supports and is closely associated with these creative activities1
.

The limited application of the Act to public service broadcasters was to protect freedom of
expression and the rights of the media under Article 10 European Convention on Human Rights
(“ECHR”). The BBC, as a media organisation, is under a duty to impart information and ideas on
all matters of public interest and the importance of this function has been recognised by the
European Court of Human Rights. Maintaining our editorial independence is a crucial factor in
enabling the media to fulfil this function. However, the BBC makes a huge range of information
available about our programmes and content on bbc.co.uk.

And this is another reason to stop giving them any money for the license fee..

Maybe Dawson could show us all the winners medals he accumulated in his glittering career.
The medals which give validity his to his opinion and give him credibility.
One League Cup Winners medal wasn't it Michael?

The mood is different on sky and they have ran out of things to pressure us with. So much waffling it’s almost funny.

When pundits come out with this shit they are obviously trying to be edgy and controversial so people will view it and lap it up if you hate city and antagonise blues at the same time.

Sad state of affairs when the best team in the world is not lauded to high heavens. What would Dawson know about winning anything?

I feel nothing but pity and embarrassment for the whole sly organisation. It’s dead with the red teams not winning and city are a major factor as to why it’s losing the battle and sacking staff.

Long May it continue.

I always thought it's odd when broadcasters post these. They've done it with other teams too, but it's usually spending graphics designed by fan accounts with big followings as a way to troll and get a reaction.

They just did it today on their main twitter page with Gvardiol in the picture. It's a brazen move to dismiss or disparage a players achievements or ability.
 
On Final Score he was talking through the table.
“Brighton & Hove Albion’s win over Luton Town takes them top.
Arsenal start with a win as have Palace and Fulham”

Now if you were making the tea and just listening not seeing the screen you would assume that meant Brighton top
Arsenal second
Palace third
Fulham fourth

You would be wrong (as you already know)
1) Brighton
2) MANCHESTER CITY
3) Arsenal
4) Crystal Palace
5) Fulham

But there’s no bias is there? Grrrrrr
