In sinister and orchestrated way, the BBC has, quite literally, become the right wing MSM you speak of. Kuesenberg, Peston etc need to face some solid and probing questions themselves, nothing at all like the soft-arse, fluffy, vapid, toothless, brain-dead shite they direct at our own Govt representatives.....

Peston doesn’t work for the BBC.

Posted the above last night just before kick-off when responding to a similar comment by 'Deano' on the partiality revealed against us in so many commentaries on European games down the years.

For me, the commentary by Peter Drury and Jim Beglin back in 2011 when we lost in Kiev has remained the nadir, given their obsession with what I called at the time 'The Shevchenko Show' and their distasteful ignoring of anything positive that City did that night.

I thought that, as a low point in the way the media responds to/presents us, it would never be beaten.

Boy was I wrong.. last night's 'Messi/PSG Fest' knocked the Kiev commentary 'performance' into a cocked hat.

These people are supposed to be impartial professionals. They should be bloody well ashamed of themselves..

"These people are supposed to be impartial professionals. They should be bloody well ashamed of themselves."

Totally and utterly agree and with the BBC particularly, which lets face facts it is a tax payer funded impartial news/entertainment corporation, it's high time the club came down hard on their agenda.

The BBC is no longer fit for purpose at any level, it's credibility for all non biased news coverage long gone.

It's now reached an even lower level than The Sun newspaper and appears desperate for credibility.

If some people think the Beeb are right-wing and others left-wing, would that not suggest they're fairly balanced? <grabs coat...>

The BBC used to be impartial and critical of government cock ups. But now we've got a government who do nothing but cock ups, they've threatened them into toeing the line and they've, at least on the news programs, become a government mouthpiece.

Brexit destroyed them. They tried so hard to keep both sides happy they lost both.

I'd agree with that... the way Kuenssberg acts as Johnson's lapdog is fucking hideous.

Their DG is a known conservative donor and their News coverage is run by a former to Prime Minister May. Both are impartial as Mike Reilly Reffing the scum.

Yes, and there's no doubt that when Johnson was elected he threatened to defund them. A nationalist, populist government like this needs the national broadcaster to support its dishonesty and gaslighting. I find it profoundly sad actually.

I`d hardly call her his lapdog.
She gives the fucker a hard time and it makes him fluster so much its uncomortable for him.
I like her and she certainly doesn`t give a shit who they are when she`s interviewing them.
