I find it quite incredulous that some will still argue the point that there is no bias or agenda and prefer to denigrate Blues in favour of the media hype.
Funny old world.
They have spent so long being exposed to this incessant and constant rag sycophancy across all facets of the media that they appear to have developed 'Stockholm syndrome' where despite the 'norm' for any city fan to at the very least dislike their nearest football rivals they have instead developed an irrational admiration for them, to the extent that they feel the need to spend a huge amount of time defending any attacks on their foes.
This goes to the extent of ignoring the oceans of evidence that highlights such incessant bias against their own club, which by rights they should identify with, instead they clutch at the 'odd straw' that might somehow confirm their irrational take on the subject that the footballing world treats all clubs with an even hand.
It is summed up perfectly by this description as being
a psychological phenomenon in which people have positive feelings towards their enemy, sometimes to the point of defending and identifying with them identifying with the aggressor is one way that the ego protects itself. When a victim believes the same values as the aggressor, they cease to be perceived as a threat.
