What I'm trying to say is that whether it good or bad doesn't really matter. But if you can report something negative you'll print it because it sells better. If you lack negative storylines, then go with something positive about a big name because that will still sell. The only bias is how to generate the most money, good, bad or otherwise.All very reasonable as an argument, however it doesn't address the point of bias.
Stories such as those you mention could be positive or negative, but so long as they feature a big club, they'll still be read. That'll sell papers.
Sonia there any bias toward reporting favourably on big clubs, or is it just that they are reported on more often?
Take for instance Tottenham. "Kane is really good" won't sell anything. But if you can get a twat to go on record saying "Kane isn't really all that good yet, and he'll move anyway", now THAT sells loads. It's not anti Spurs. It's pro creating money from bull shit. Football news is the ultimate business plan. You make money off having nothing to sell whatsoever.
