Previously there was time when newspapers faced critical appraisal and response for their content. Nowadays everything is so instant that "news and views" no longer last long enough to even become "tomorrows chip paper".
Headlines are written as attention grabbers to generate clicks or promote an agenda without regard to content or scrutiny beyond a like or dislike. The consistency, co-ordination and frequency of attacks on Manchester City make it hard to believe that most are not generated by shills, a cheap and effective strategy in the age of social media that appeals to certain sections whose attention span is even less than the number of maximum words set by X (Twitter).
The City hierarchy will be well aware of what is going on and who is behind it? Follow the money, as always. Thank goodness for forums like Bluemoon. To think once there were some on here who denied there was an agenda against City - not now!
