Talksport now (continued)

[CheethamHillBlue]

No mistake - Scholarship boy me. Good pick on their part - you can see my academic achievements recorded in gold lettering on polished oak panels in the Hallam hall.

Whereas one or two others on here try WAY too hard to sound clever or smart and fail miserably. ;-)

Yep - and then we have those who live in Cheetham Hill.
Nobody could ever accuse them of trying too hard, although the 'failing miserably' part is glaringly obvious.

Does anyone think there may be an agenda against our club?

Just asking.

I believe there's a thread 'upstairs' where the Flat Earth society meet up to try and prove the existence of this imaginary beast - it's usually just yourself, George Hannah and a couple of folk who may or may not be humouring you.
But well done to the pair of you - don't let a complete lack of proof, motive, evidence and logic stand in the way of your endeavours.
When you get a minute, get hold of one of those dictionary things - it's a big book that explains what words mean.
Check out 'bias' and 'agenda', and clock the subtle but important difference between the two.
Maybe confirm this by cross referencing with something called a thesaurus, which sounds like a dinosaur, but is in fact another big book of words.
This will confirm that neither are synonyms, so therefore they don't have the same meaning.
Or live forever in a permanent state of paranoia and delusion, rant aimlessly every time we don't get mentioned in an episode of The Archers, and wear you tin foil hat with pride.

I'm not trying to be antagonistic here but if you take the time to look at the examples I've posted in the thread you're referencing, you'll see that the agenda does exist. As long as there are clicks to be whored and copies to be sold, there will always be an agenda. It isn't malicious (as I suspect a few people think it may be), it's purely down to profit and exposure. Durham is wonderful at this kind of thing. National newspapers have a long history of paying very large sums of money to people like him, to create click baiting and sales driving content.

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

Using Gandhi to illustrate a slightly odd paranoia over a shock jock radio station, whose sole aim is to provoke the listener into calling in/ranting l/starting a thread about them....Really

Ever heard of an off switch.

But an off switch is not the issue. We know that Talkshite is a rubbish station and their presenters spout off a load of unbelievable twaddle towards our club. We know it's twaddle but the real issue is that the listening audience away from our club treat these presenters words as gospel, these words being splashed about any forum we care to visit, and by knowing their source of information we will then be armed for our response to these morons utterances.

the argument is as some are suggesting ie de niro and johnny is that stance is to be actively anti city and pro everyone else
i get the click whoring and accept it as a fact of life due to certain clubs having bigger fan bases so there will be more article pro them, but that doesn't mean its an active agenda against us.

Spot on. The agenda will always be driven by the financial impact. Right now, City are a target because we seem to invoke moral outrage and envy from the biggest markets (united, arsenal, liverpool). It may well be a totally different landscape in 10 years time. If we continue to be successful and create a large enough market for the media to be influenced by, we'll see more pro-city stories. That's the way the industry works and will continue to work.

I'm talksport free too, not listened to 1 second of it since we pissed on their chips lifting the prem last season, I will only tune in when the rags get beat and they will... As for sky sports, I still tune in I'm afraid but the rag wankfest currently going on has me reaching for the off button many times already....

Funny you should mention Sky that's going in a month as well when the contract runs out, sick of the rag wankfest on there as well

 

[Rammyblues]

To all those still listening, don't, switch it off, find a good music channel or play DVDs you life will be so much better. As long as one poster can come on here and update us so that I can congratulate myself that I did the right thing. Trouble is we might need to start a rota for volunteers.

 

[big gaz]

Nice one Rammy thats two of us

 

[john blue]

Was the book written in capital letters ?

 

[Judge Roughneck]

I've weaned myself of this radio station entirely. Would love to hear that's it's gone tits up in a few months time.
Alas, fans of London clubs rags and scousers will prop it up though. I like how very few City fans rose
to the bait though.

 

[unexpected item]

We need our beloved owner to buy a big chunk of talkshite, that would shake the bastards up.

 

[Bill]

the whole station is an embarrassment to the airwaves.
