The media have figured out they get a lot of ratings if they reinforce people's hateful feelings towards their target despite what the reality is.
This tends to happen in the political channels a lot and it never receives pushback.
The only time I've seen a media body held to account is the 787 million dollar settlement by Fox News. But make no mistake.. they probably made 10-15 times that much if they can afford to write a check of 787 million dollars for it to go away.
That very strategy is being employed by Sky/ BT and other media outlets who now know they can make a lot of money airing City hatred to the masses and this will make them major money.
It's like a drug to a drug addict.. reinforcing their validation of hate. And good luck trying to convince a drug addict that the drug is bad for them.
It won't really stop till City actually go to court and show damage to their brand with tons of proof, and wanting money for damages caused by libel and defamation!
