No click baiting here.

Just look at the timing and bias by the supposedly unbiased BBC.

Any City fan reading this cannot come to the conclusion that there is no agenda.

The headline states that Lampard is the key to the success of NYC. Conjecture not fact

They state that Chelsea filled the grounds in the U.S all because of Lampard.conjecture not fact.

Lampard is due in pre season but fail to mention when and where ie 19th Jan and in Manchester.

Why release this on a Friday morning before a weekend fixture list where Lampard is going to play a key part of out team/squad cos "we've got no strikers" (wealdstone raider stylee)

Quotes from a random blogger who's portrayed as an expert on how difficult it's going to be for NYC to gain Fans and also how difficult it's going to be to build a stadium.

Rodney Marsh....FORMER MANCHESTER CITY CAPTAIN...!!!! Has been promoted to expert too.

Abu Dhabi has a terrible human rights record too don't you know......if you didn't, you do now. That's why it's going to be hard for the good folk of New York to accept them....allegedly.

I could go on but I've got some Christmas cheers to spread.

Ha, I'll stick my head above the parapet. I didn't really think there was an agenda in that BBC piece either, just shit, sensationalist journalism. For what it's worth though, I do think the Lampard issue is a fairly sensitive one between City, NYCFC and CFG, and will have ramifications. Hence why no decision has been made yet.
 
Re: so this agenda thing.

I am sure most claiming an agenda are doing it very much tongue in cheek, but I do fear one or two fans are genuinely paranoid enough to believe there is a master plan probably involving aliens out there planning to get City!

There is no agenda , there is just some average journalists out there who realise theyske more money (which is their job) playing to their readership which is made up of a lot of armchair rags, mickeys and gooners. These armchair clowns are desperate for us to fail so when we give a chance or when's situation allows journalists to write a story their readers want to read they do it. They are not paid for brilliant incite full pieces or neutrality they are paid to give what their readers want.

I have always found the victim mentality to be a Scouse mentality and I have always found the there is an agenda mentality to be distictly Raggish - ie they would win everything always if there wasn't an agenda against them.

Personally I wish this would be the last post in this thread as the agenda thread makes me cringe and just makes us look stupid , small time, over sensitive and paranoid!
 
Re: so this agenda thing.

An agenda and exclusivity don't have to be considered as one.
 
Re: so this agenda thing.

DT have double page spread on MANUre and Carrick with the suggestion that they are not interested in 'the top three'! When did City or CFC get a 'We're not interested in being in the top three' piece of puffery'! Same DT has double page spread on Bodgers regretting not getting Sanchez. There's an Arse piece of puffery on Whinger worrying that Sanchez might have gone to PSG. If anyone finds an article, negative or positive about a team that could go top before the 3 o'clock kick offs let me know, 'cos I can't find one!
 
Re: so this agenda thing.

There seem to be a lot of posts seeking to prove/state that there is no agenda - when there seems to be - at least through my blue-tinted paranoid specs - almost daily occurrences of flagrant bias.

But for me the 'issue' is with the word 'agenda'. Agenda infers coordinated/managed/targeted - in the way that FFPR was introduced - where in fact for me there is just so much institutionalised bias in rag loving media organisations.

Also individuals in the media have a deep rooted love of the old guard and therefore a dislike of us which borders on hatred - they cannot report/write objectively. We see it all the time on Sunday supplement - remember the one that looks like a vampire in drag for who the word City was like a bath in holy water......

So is there an orchestrated agenda? - maybe not. Are there widespread and daily examples of bias ranging from mild to extreme? (IMO) certainly - so much so that it feels like an agenda sometimes.
