You're 100% spot on with that surprisedbygrass.
Your post perfectly illustrates the insidious and toxic relationship that the rags and the mainstream media have colluded in over the years.
Two words sprung to my mind while reading your post, regarding the situation between these two eroding entities: "desperation" and "panic"
It's almost as though they've seen how the story ends, and they're in the death throes of a drowning man clawing at anything that looks remotely buoyant.
I love your description of how our club keeps it's own counsel, despite the constant assault from the media and the cabal's smear campaign and propaganda.
The best part, as you rightly said; it's driving them crazy.
Imagine how frustrating it must be for the media and the cartel that MCFC, just gets on with their business as usual and considers their pantomime villains unworthy of a response or reaction.
Ouch!
