BBC Football Bias to which team...?

My whinge about the BBC & Man U

A few years back I got into a routine of checking the BBC Football Gossip webpage daily. Pretty shit info to be fair but it was something to be nosey about.

After a while I noticed Man United were mentioned almost daily and most days were mentioned 2 or 3 times, much more than any other team.

I saw on a few social media outlets that they too thought that the BBC was biased towards Man U as well (maybe this is common knowledge?)

So, being the PQ geek I am, I thought I'd scrape the 'mentions' each day....and it is proving to be correct.

...the BBC IS biased towards Man U.

Surprising to see Arsenal are second !

Man City & Liverpool are mentioned half as many times as Man U !

All about the clicks. The reason the "big 6" are talked about endlessly is the amount of traffic it drives to the sites. What they fail to see is the total hyprocisy of then decrying the idea of european super league when they are part of the problem.

How is this bias? The media are going to talk about the well supported teams for obvious reasons.

Just 'Team' in this case

You've just unlocked the growing problem with media and social media. The truth and fairness is being blown away by the greed for clicks. Why bother with the truth (10 clicks) when an untruth gets you 20?

You could say the same about right-wing concerns. The Biased Broadcasting Corporation choose to ignore all or any reporting of Asian grooming gangs or their many convictions and deportations, and also of the absolute invasion that our shores are being met with daily, with the Border Farce and even the much-beloved RNLI helping many thousands of illegals to cross from France.

However the second that Tommy Robinson or Laurence Fox or any other conservative patriot so much as gets a speeding ticket, they are all over them like a bad rash. The BBC have long outlived their raison d'etre, and need to be defunded tout suite!
