I don't get offended by any "biased" reports on Clyde 1 because I don't listen to them. It's a fairly simple concept that some people really need to adopt instead of continuing to give them an audience when they obviously don't like the content. Great point this. Vote with your feet (or ears/eyes/wallet). And to add to what I said above, if we had access to better club-run alternatives then that choice would be so much easier for all fans to make.

Theres always going to be more access and financial benefits to the club but you also run tjw risk that everything you get is simply 'cheerleading'. If the manager or player is struggling, for example, then inhouse media isnt going to question that and criticise. To be fair Dude, if a manager or player is struggling we don’t need the media to point it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really not a difficult question. I’m not sure if you’re being serious here but I’ll bite. Complaining about the bias they have against our club! It’s blatant. They bring us down at every turn.

I appreciate they have to sell papers but all to often that leads to them distorting the truth ie taking quotes totally out of context in order to get headlines and that doesn’t just apply to Rangers. As for BBC Scotland sports department it’s clear they’re certainly no friends of Rangers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - It’s also why you can’t get all Your football information about Rangers from RM - if you did you’d have a very warped view of the world!

saintbob1969 1,459 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I laugh at the Nats and Republicans when they get all bent about media bias and conspiracy. Realistically every writer and reporter has some bias, but most things come out in the wash. Stories get hits and get passed around because they are controversial or stimulate a response. You need balance, reason, a little bit of sense, and the ability to look around, to put things in context. Remember when all the Bravehearts marched on BBC Scotland to protest and when BBC sent someone out to talk the idiots didn't have a spokesman and didn't want to talk to them (rejects). If you go looking for conspiracy and bias... you're a bit mental. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without fail the newsreader (usually a female) will refer to Rangers as ‘they’ or simply ‘Rangers’. However when that mob are mentioned, there’s a noteable upbeat change in the tone & words like ‘the hoops’ or ‘the celts’ are introduced. Find it quite petty & amateurish. Haud the bus here... I have a good wee giggle reading these sort of threads in a sort of "each to their own way of thinking" sort of way and so I don't normally post in them. But.... Have I just read that correctly that you got annoyed that somebody on the radio referred to us as "Rangers"?
