This isn't meant to be a 'everyone against us' article. Just pointing out how some media sources have a fixation on certain issues.
This is a common theme of the Daily Mail by the way.
Never heard of Bloomberg, looks pretty good, thanks.
dont let it bother you, it doesnt affect the team or the fans, all media outlets have slight biases, whether it be political or whatever, thats why we have a free press, ive always found the papers to be very pro-south when it comes to the football, utd and liverpool seem to be singled out sometimes
Daily Mail (GB) : Steven Gerrard: My Liverpool and England teammates are always ribbing me for my dress sense
is that real?!?
The Daily Mail likes to pretend it is this serious newspaper but it is littered with the sort of stories you expect in a tabloid.

He has poor dress sense to be fair. The old jeans and trainers with the shirt tucked into your jeans look is so 1980's!
The Daily Mail and Daily Star are sister papers and share a lot of stories. I simply don't buy any newspapers.
People who buy newspapers should be sent to live on a deserted island, in my opinion.
The Daily Mail actively supported Hitler up until the outbreak of WW2, when they had to stop or risk being closed down.
They've always been right-wing reactionary skum and they always will be. It's The Sun for the middle-classes.

Really? Do you have a link with this information? Newspapers make my blood boil, I had to stop reading them for my own safety.
shortlight had a good opportunity to compare FSG to the Na zis then, but he didn't. Maybe he's changing
I know, it doesn't bother me. It used to, but it's so obvious it just makes me chuckle now.

And you've never heard of Bloomberg?? It's a financial market platform, it'd cost a pretty penny for a news source!
Don't read newspapers.
They're all agenda driven. The idea that they act in public interest is a total myth. The have all have their own agendas to feed certain readers and sell papers.
People say the BBC has got worse since its move to Salford but at least the majority of what they do is unbiased, realistic and good. Given that the alternatives are Talksport, Sky and the newspapers, we should be grateful that we have the BBC.
TOOR.
This is the best link I could find.

Russell Brand has regularly commented on their Hitler links. Thanks one of the reasons they were gunning for him so vehemently after sachsgate.

Give the Fail some credit, they were the paper that revealed 'Exclusively' that Mancini was going to be the new Russia manger and Pep was going to replace him at City.

I hope that's sarcasm, the change in the BBC has nothing to do with the move to salford, the rot had already set in years ago, Blair saw to that, after the dr. david kelly/wmd stuff, the bbc haven't been the same since they had their teeth removed.
However, it's the same everywhere, the media is either agenda or money driven or both and they are all more than happy to make up the news rather than just report it.
As for the daily fail itself, I don't care that it exists, that's what happens when you have freedom of speech, sometimes you have to listen to stuff you don't want to hear and don't agree with.
If you want to see the media at work, try watching the next big 'incident' that happens, oscar pistorious case has been the most recent one.
I said right from the start that he won't get a fair trial, ever. The media's mind was made up immediately, press speculation was rife, based upon the evidence that the police had put forward, so before the man has even made it to trial, they've got him hung, drawn and quartered as a roid-raging guy with a gun and a handful of syringes.
Roll forwards a few days and we find out that the police are being headed up by a guy on 7 attempted murder charges, who wouldn't know how to protect the chain of evidence, couldn't collect it properly and changed accounts of what happened.
Meanwhile, across the planet, most people have already polarised around their particular interpretation of the events, as fed to them by their favourite media outlet.
REGGIE's spot on. No media outlet in the world tells you 'the news'. They tell you the version of the news they want you to hear as dictated to them by whichever political or corporate monolith is surreptitiously running them. The great unwashed then process the information as undisputed fact and form their opinion based on it, regardless of how far from the truth it has travelled.
As Malcolm X said:
“The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses.”
Whilst I am very hesitant to defend the Daily Mail surely this headline does refer to the game?
Daily Mail (GB) : Brave Reds so near and yet so far [A HALF POSITIVE ONE!! ]
I prefer the Sun or the Daily Star or any other paper that doesn't dress up its ignorance and hatred with good writing and big words....
I prefer my racists stupid basically, it is the articulate sounding ones you have to watch out for...
Exactly. Malcolm X says it. However when I say it, I'm ridiculed. People don't like to be called sheep.
To be fair, TOOR, Malcolm X probably has a wider global appeal than you.
What else do you expect from the Mail? They'll take any sort of negativity and spin it harder than Alastair Campbell could ever dream of doing.

Obviously but some people argue the person and not the comment.
Toor, that's because malcolm X managed to say it without sounding like he was calling them sheep.
Don't get me wrong, I like you Toor, nothing you say annoys me, or get's my back up, in fact, I prefer what you've got to say than most of the twaddle that's posted, for one thing, I know whatever you've posted, it's what YOU think.
