As opposed to yourself who just pretend not to see anything and are then happy to spend an afternoon disagreeing with fellow fans about it.
A box of kleenex and disposable gloves at hand.
There are quite a few individual journalists who are still capable of being impartial. At the BBC Mark Chapman and Phil McNulty for example are mostly fair and accurate. Unfortunately the twitter output from their colleagues Dan Roan and Simon Stone is a disgrace.Who do you think in the media give honest, critical coverage of City?
Pep put the idiot Stone well and truly in his place in the post-match press conference when he was asking stupid questions about CovidThere are quite a few individual journalists who are still capable of being impartial.

Most of the TV match commentators are atrocious though.They rarely analyse or describe the games. Their main modus operandi seems to just repeat false tropes which have been published in the tabloids. Even my wife, who knows nothing about football, often says things like: "Why are they being so negative about City?"
Don't know about minutes but Mendy has played nine times and Foden has played 18 times this season. In addition to that there is not as much competition at left back. I think Pep is doing a brilliant job of managing the squad at present. This crazy season is just an endurance test.I get what you are saying.
The problem is, he hasn't featured much in the league, which is our bread and butter competition.
We've been bang average this season, most games have needed his drive and determination, but he's ended up playing the same amount of minutes as bloody Mendy.

So it begs the question is that bias are, in many instances, just poorly researched journalism. I often think as fans we expect commentators/journalists to know the intimate details of the club we support, like us fans do, but in reality its unlikely and of course that results in false information/narratives being put forward which regularly gets regurgitated in the press.
Stone is such a smarmy ****,he's quoted Pep on Twitter trying to be a smart arse saying 'Covid is still here' knowing full well his arse licking followers will Join in & lap it up with dead original posts like "no shit Sherlock" etcPep put the idiot Stone well and truly in his place in the post-match press conference when he was asking stupid questions about Covid
Pep was making the point that football and the football media’s entitled, self obsessed little bubble is pretty low on the scale of importance when real people im the real world are losing their lives and their livelihoods. Pep lost his own mother to C19 ffs and yet Stone was trying to goad him into saying the season might have to be cancelledStone is such a smarmy ****,he's quoted Pep on Twitter trying to be a smart arse saying 'Covid is still here' knowing full well his arse licking followers will Join in & lap it up with dead original posts like "no shit Sherlock" etc
Total wanker stealing a living.....
Some of it is overt bias from people like Mark Ogden and Duncan Castles and the political racist cabal at the Guardian who don't like our owner's heritage. There is commercial bias driven by outlets like SKY to their chosen cash cow clubsSo it begs the question is that bias are, in many instances, just poorly researched journalism.

Case in point, moving away from City, look at the stick Solksjaer has got this season, but arguably they have done pretty well this year, not that you would think it based on the coverage the manager has received.
the point would be valid if it was used in all games.I think it would always exist as some football fans will always see bias in everything, be it the media, cup draws, changing dates of fixtures, Richard Scudamore etc. So there will always be reason to complain, and in some instances, like the fee quotations, they probably have a valid point.
