30-40 years ago I might buy a newspaper following a good result for City and read it from back to front with our match report first
If it was a major significant victory (10-1,5-1) then I might buy another newspaper, but if we lost then I might not buy any at all.
I'm sure there were countless supporters who did something similar, but we never knew how many, or indeed how many rags did the complete opposite
Nowadays we do know and that's why the vast majority of media articles are posted for their click bait audience, and more importantly, why so many authors write the version of the truth that their regular subscribers prefer.
It's also far easier to become a journalist and write an article that occasionally stumbles upon the truth, as opposed to a seriously considered and balanced article.
Most pathetic of all it's why we have to tolerate United v City when the alphabet suggests otherwise or Man City v Manchester United, because whilst we might complain, the rags simply won't click the link if it decides them as Man United
Fuck em!
