Talksport

Fuck me that man has got some neck on him. He has been one of the worst when it comes to slagging off Sterling. For him to come out and call an end to it is beyond hypocritical. My loathing of this fat slug has increased and I didn't think that was possible.

i think you mean that man has no neck

It becomes difficult to spot the difference between hypocrisy and following the station/channel/papers orders for the day.

I personally would have great problems being told 'Yes I know what you said yesterday but today I want you to say the complete opposite' - (and by so doing come across as as a hypocritical dickhead with few principles or morals.)

But that is the way the modern media operate since Murdoch and the Sun came to power.

Agree with that. The murdoch press will always find an agenda or someting to be outraged about even if it involves complete hypocrisy!

Unfortunately millions of US Brits pay good money for it plus those who read the online version.

Even worse to contemplate is the influence the paper seems to have on these readers and the knock on way that can affect politics etc.

John Cross reckons the rags smashing the £100 million pound transfer barrier would be a "Good thing". He'd have gone apeshit if it was us.

I've started listening to Talkshite 2 which seems more intelligent. Maybe Rupert is turning Talkshite into The Sun and its Sister station The Times.

I don't listen to it myself, but judging from what the majority of people on here say about maybe that's a good thing. I'd end up foaming at the mouth and wanting to physically attack these so-called 'presenters'.
I don't understand why Blues would put themselves through this sort of immoral, biased garbage - I know I certainly couldn't.

For me listening to Talkshite was like following England, both pointless and causing unwelcome aggravation. I gave up listening to this shite months ago and the England team following the last World Cup and feel much the better in both cases.

Just listen to it and laugh at the people, generally neanderthal sheep, that take it seriously
The only time I listen is when I'm on a long drive down South and it really is comedy gold

If anyone ever challenges me over something that's spouted on Talkshite, I say "Please tell me that you don't take that anything on there seriously!" and leave it at that

I've heard Gough do it.

I can't remember which order it was in, but one day, he was saying what a good thing the loan system was, and either the previous day or the day after, he was saying it was a disgrace that clubs like Chelsea and City could loan out so many players at once.

I've heard them do it in the space of ten minutes, they propose something ludicrous and in the course of babbling on it dawns on them how ludicrous it is, they then end with something like..."it's interesting" meaning the opposite is true, or "I can see both points of view" which means we're gobsmackingly wrong, or it's "certainly a talking point" which means it isn't, as it's as plain as the nose on your face we're wrong.

Most of their listeners don't have a great attention span so probably don't notice.
