Journalists - are there any serious ones left?

Recommended Posts

This rancid cesspit of a country continues to reach new lows with regard to reporting of serious issues, such as racism. 

The blinkers stay on full block mode when it comes to Rangers. Not one comes out and says, 'do you know what, this is wrong! We need to do something about it.'

Nope let's drag anything to do with Rangers through the mud, sully the name, sully the players, sully the fans. Adults behaving like children to keep petty grievances going. 

An ailing art form is professional journalism, many of the old ones will be turning in their graves.

There genuinely isn't. When you compare what we have to the likes of Guillem Balagué and the boys who do the European football show on BT and even a lot of the guys in the Sunday supplement programme then it's like a different world. 

Morelos was getting huge plaudits down south for his Europa league exploits and up here he was being compared to gear. He's been called a looney, a psycho, a cheat, a hothead. 

Yet here is a boy who received one yellow card in Finland. Never been sent off till he comes here. I can't ever remember the boy trying to hurt someone. 

The treatment of him is utterly pathetic but then again so are some of our support going by the statement thread. 

Albeit I don't believe two of them in there are Rangers fans

There is a severe racist/xenaphobic problem with journalists in this country. Whenever a 'big bad foreigner' takes a managerial job or a playing position from one of the 'local lads' they're on him like a pack of wolves ready set go whenever he makes even the slightest slip up. 

Obviously this will never be pointed out at all.

Serious journos? Unfortunately that ship sailed about 25 years ago. But what you do have in Scotland is the dregs of what was left of the older ones who were not taken seriously at that time aided and abetted now by a cabal of ex players mostly from the dark side who harbour a hate that they don’t hide of Rangers and willingly bad mouth them every chance they get. Until we hit back this will continue for the foreseeable future.

It's a tough market with everyone trying to be a controversial shock jock, and what you end up with is a pile of no users talking shite.

All they’re interested in is click bate and they target the Rangers haters as they know they are frothing at the mouth for anything Rangers related.  

We always knew the truth comes second but they really have ripped the arse out of it all to try and damage our brand all due to their own bigotry.

Football reporters not journalists.

Spot on mate ..... only in a madman's wildest drunken dreams could any of the current pack of hacks be considered journalists ...... put together they have about as much right to claim that title as Jim Torbett has of being elected to the post of minister of health for children.

They are definitely way ahead in the running for being the biggest bags of shite ever to disgrace the game of association football ..... way ahead of referees and SFA officials .... and even the players' avaricious agents ..... any one of them that  seriously tries to claim the title of "journalist" ..... is only showing themselves up to be the liars they pretend not to be  .... but in this day and age lying seems to be a compliment in their delirious state of "reality.

A reporter IS a journalist. No matter which way you want to spin it.

Too busy looking for the headlines themselves these reporters with stories.

They don’t even bother to genuinely give a match report anymore just jump on a quote from the post match interview and spin it.

People don't tend to read them, with minute-by-minute updates, live blogs and dodgy streams, detailed match reports aren't that much of a thing now.

I think people are also underestimating the hatred for Rangers. 

if Alfredo played for celtic he wouldn’t get any of the shit he is getting as a Rangers player. I firmly believe this. We seem to spend a lot of time pointing the finger of xenophobia but the truth is he is hated because he is good and he plays for us. 
 

Reporters, like referees, are shit. Just more shit when it comes to Rangers.
