Just submitted a complaint to the BBC, I encourage other fans to keep calling them out in their biased reporting.
"As an institution the BBC consistently reports on Manchester United in a favourable and biased way compared to all other football clubs. For instance the second leading news headline on the football supporter wearing the number 97 and the words "not enough" an offensive reference to the Hillsborough disaster, the BBC failed to point out the supporter was actually wearing a "Manchester United top", references were made to the incident occurring at the match between Manchester City and United, but the vital fact it was a United shirt was deliberately omitted. Readers of the news article were left in the dark who's shirt the offending fan was wearing.
Both Simon Stone in his article on Manchester City’s Chairman's address and Dan Roan in his coverage of the City treble winning parade lead with negative references about PL charges, although as yet they are unproven. The actual football achievement was secondary.
Several articles are written about Manchester United looking to sign Kane, Rice and others this summer although they are more likely to be at other clubs.
The football sports gossip section on transfers consistently leads with fantasy 'fan boy' stories about Manchester United, while other clubs such as Manchester City are written about in a consistently negative way, invariably focusing on who's leaving the club rather than new arrivals.
Perhaps the consistent biased coverage in favour of Manchester United has a subconscious element, but more likely there is a large number of Manchester United fans in the BBC that find it very difficult to report news in a fair and independent manner."

Bang on the money that
Even the interviewer was suffering from his narrative, if he was telling a story in a pub it would end with “to cut a long story short” we’d all reply “too fucking late you boring ****”.

They will probably rejoice in that, because it's all about clicks rather than actual content, if Fred the Red from hampshire is clicking on it then job done, it's not fair I know and we who actually pay for the service should expect unbiased coverage, I would have thought that writing to OFCOM would be better

I wonder if he’d said that the premier league has been built as the flag ship league to wash the atrocities at the hands of the British empire. He could have then talked about Dr David Kelly & how many believe he was murdered before talking about the exorbitant wealth of the premier league attracting all the talent, making it a vacuum & driving costs up around the world where no one could compete.
