Paranoia? Or simple truth?

Postby john@staustell » Thu Aug 01, 2013 11:01 am

Dear SSN

I was rather hoping the anti-City/pro-United bias on SSN would ease over time, but if anything it is getting worse.

For the last 3 seasons City have had the league's best defence. Yet when there is an article about a player 9 times out of 10 they are shown scoring against City - today it is Steven Caulkner. Often it is Rooney - who gets the honour of having 2 goals shown against City (never any other teams). This is just clearly aimed at showing City in a bad light.

Last night City beat AC Milan in the AUDI cup, they actually put 5 past them in half an hour. This was headline news on the ticker on BBC main news at breakfast. On SSN barely a mention - Pellegrini was interviewed briefly 'after City's friendly victory over AC Milan last night' - nothing on the well-used ticker. By contrast, a friendly between United RESERVES and Crewe was last week was reported in full technicolour. Of no public interest whatsoever.

I see you recently put up subscriptions yet again so could I suggest you use the extra money to hire some editors who can create programmes without such constant bias, or contrastingly hire some City-biased chaps so we can have alternate bias as the week goes on?

Regards

Dear John,

SSN understands your frustration and too put it bluntly we don't give a fuck. We are a broadcaster whose target audience is made up of mostly dirty Rag bastards, therefore it's in our best interest to pander to their desires.

Yours not giving a fuck,
SSN

It is the simple truth mate , if we play like we did in the first 35 minutes of yesterdays game then we will win the prem and the tabloids can go fuck themselves.

If you did send that, let us all know what fuck-you response they reply with.

I wouldn't hold your breath on anything worthwhile though.

Until Golem screws up and they lose 'their' title, I can't see SSN changing their editing pattern. Even when they do, I can't imagine it will be to city's favour.

I do think Pellegrini will help our profile though amongst the media as he seems in control and calm. He seems more approachable than Bob and won't give them anything to milk or wind him up with.

Now now, you leave the soccer fan alone, he's only been supporting since City were an alternative so he could seem unique and better informed than the mass of sheep in the US. Alternative for the sake of alternative, the hipster way.

You swear like what Sky Sports covers or doesn't cover matters..it's not the be all end all of news reporting. It doesn't matter. More press coverage isn't necessarily a good thing.

Dear sky, when the TV rights to the Premier League next come up for auction I hope they go to the Disney Channel, as it is less of a Mickey Mouse outfit than yours.

Hope you all have painful and protracted deaths,

An admirer.

Dear Sky United,

Remember that 130 notes that you used to collect from my bank every week, well it will still be a memory until you sort your shit out you dirty scum sucking wankers.

Peace-out.

It does when they are the sole broadcasters of most of the matches in England
