Any new weekend paper stories on us? (7 Viewers)

No you’re right I don’t get it.

Please explain why it’s morally wrong to deal with a media outlet that has an “agenda” like you claim, but it’s morally fine to deal with one that covered up child sexual abuses

GB News is biased Fascistic bullshit that is dangerous because it does not report the truth, or objectivity, or make any attempt to do so. It's rancid, mate. I don't really give a toss about Saville and have always found people that have a fascination with him to be a bit...well, weird. What you're talking about with the BBC is 1 mistake ages ago in any case, as opposed to being ENDEMICALLY broken-GB "News" is a contradiction in terms, oxymoronic, biased and it should not exist. Every moment it is on air is a travesty. I don't particularly like BBC btw, 4 News is the best by far and Sky is probably better now.

Haha, I think the guy claiming GB News is better than the BBC cos Saville might be the one you’re thinking of.

On any objective measure they’re in completely different categories. BBC/Guardian/Telegraph/Times are one level of reporting. Sun/Mail/Express/Morning Star/Independent/New Statesman/Spectator another. The Daily Sport/Weekly World News/GB News are more entertainment than news.

I don’t like Gary Lineker and his pious views. Don’t like that folks are forced to pay a licence fee (or else) for his huge salary. As soon as he used his BBC swollen platform to spout political views he crossed a line for me. If you think the BBC isn’t politically slanted and practices “level reporting” there’s a bridge for sale in fairyland. BBC News? Bah. The BBC does do good dramas and sport & coronation coverage though.

Sorry but if you’re stupid enough to unquestionably believe the bullshit from any media outlet then there’s no helping you.

As for the BBC, a mistake is bringing tea when I ask for coffee. Enabling and then covering up for a peadophile on the rampage because it might be embarrassing is not a mistake.

Another one here

Coventry aim to come full circle after journey to hell and back

Once a fixture in the Premier League, the Sky Blues face Middlesbrough as they hunt promotion through the Championship play-offs

Where did I say I "believe" anything in particular you right-wing nutter? If you like GB News then you're either hate-filled or brain-dead, no question, that is widely accepted.

Why don’t you just go whole hog here and admit that you think anyone with a different opinion to you is evil?

Feel free to name a single source on the planet that is more balanced.

That’s not the issue though is it? We’re talking about morality.

I don’t think the Morning Star is immoral because it believes in far left Marxism. In fact I would support its right to believe that, and would be happy for it to do a piece on City.

Few days old now but a good one about Robins

Coventry City's Mark Robins might be the most underrated manager in the country

After an away win at Middlesbrough, Robins has the chance to secure his third promotion with Coventry in the play-off final against Luton

www.telegraph.co.uk

Seriously though, can you all take this shit and fuck off to the politics thread? It's boring and has ruined what was a feelgood thread to begin with. I don't care who started it or on what side of the argument but we're up to 3 pages of irrelevant bilge.

I was responding to discussions about bias. Morally Im saying there’s a reason a small new organisation with a spotty record that is actively under the eye of the public has a different visceral reaction from a massive organisation spread across the world that had something happen decades ago.

This kind of weird BBC hatred is almost exclusively the preserve of the fringes that want their views heard more than they are represented in the population.

 

[shmmeee]

Associated Press.

Fair. But I’d say BBC isn’t far behind. Most independent reviews of bias put AP, BBC and Reuters in a similar bracket. Even bringing them down to the level of a Telegraph or Guardian is ridiculous, let alone GBN.

Last contribution in this thread before it hopefully moves to off topic

 

[Nick]

I could have got on board if it was l!ve TV

 

[EalingSB]

@Sky Blue Pete the thread was a nice idea but has been derailed.
I don’t have time now but it would be good to put all the links to good articles/vids in one place as a resource for fans to enjoy in the build-up to Saturday, updating as good new links are added. I’ll have a look tomorrow.

Thanks I think maybe I didn’t help much mate

It happens. We all have our own opinions. I didn’t help either.

Agree that the original intention was a good one.

[Grendel]

Plus even if Starmer did call him racist it doesn’t make it true. He’s a politician and just like all the rest is very economical with the truth. Anyway I can’t talk to right wing morons like you. Go and shag your flag

Well he was banned for refusing to with draw anti semetic language. Would you be ok if Al Jazeera covered the team or Russia Today?

 

[fernandopartridge]

I don't like GB News but surely it's a good thing to fill up their broadcasting time with stories like this, instead of their usual divisive talking points?

 

[lordsummerisle]

What anti semitic language was that then?

 

[Grendel]

We’re t labour the only party to have been investigated by the EHRC for racism I believe and the report said that Jeremy Corbyn and his office tried to interfere with the investigation - that alone is damning

This however is far more so

GB News is the drizzling shits. Even that pompous prick Andrew Neil jumped ship the first chance he got. It gives a platform for known racists such as Nigel Farage and Dan Wootton. Fuck them and fuck anyone that watches that bollocks

Finally answering an SBT argument thats as old as time 'Is Dabo an overseas signing? Here's why we at GB think the answer is yes.'

Out of interest what did he say? Was it ant- Semitic or anti-Israel? Israel regularly uses that tactic when they’re being criticised

Well yes, the interference with cases was trying to speed them up, because the investigations unit was being too slow to investigate, deliberately to undermine the LOTO' office.

Still, no anti semitic language?

Better to go the Tory route and just not look into allegations of anti-semitism and Islamophobia at all, eh?
