When Does Journalism Become Propaganda?


Recommended Posts

Reference BBC Scotland.

 

Next week, ra Sellik travel to Barcelona to play a CL match. No doubt, several thousand hooped horrors will make the same journey to lend support. Five years past, Rangers made the same journey. An incredible 25,000 Bears travelled too, I believe the highest ever travelling support for a CL group game.

 

During the day of the game, BBC Scotland appeared to be miffed that NO arrests had been made and desperately scratched around to find a negative angle. The then News Editor, Diarmid O'Hara(now Newsnicht Editor) decided to interupt Tom Morton's mid-afternoon music show to inform the listenership that the travelling Rangers support in Barca were generating record levels of LITTER. Yep, litter; we were leaving the Placa de Catalunya in a terrible state of disarray.

 

BBC Scotland ran that headline on both radio and TV as the lead item over the next dozen hours. I wonder if anyone from Pacific Quay CSC will be designated Chief Litter Correspondent this coming Tuesday?

I must say I hold my hands up to that offence the place was a tip after we left. Funnily enough when we came back 2 hours later the place looked brand new and everybody was more than pleased to see us again.

Have we not any Bluenoses about takes snapshots at the Hooped Horrors and splashing their litter feast all over FB and the like?

 

I'm sure they will be too busy with their Tax Dodger banners for Barca, I mean its all about integrity.

 

I await the calls from Celtic for Barca to have their CL titles stripped any day. :whistling:
