Bruno55 0 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I think you are being far too kind to the media who these days are very, very rarely journalists with the original definition. They mostly come across as delusional, agenda driven bloggers with no objectivity, no in depth knowledge, no rationality and no integrity. As Warburton said there is bugger all research or substantiation, it's mostly just plain bullshit or rumour mongering, with a bit of Chinese whispers. Some may not be as raving mad as they seem but instead could be carefully using that persona to acquire a following of delusional people who desperately want to hear the stuff that is fed to them as all part of their wishful thinking. It's all about clickbait these days and negative, controversial stuff about Rangers sets the country aloud with a immense, cacophonous tap dance - clickety, clickety click. Their job is to sell newspapers....simples. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 4,808 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Who was asking the questions up to 3.30? I think it might have been Jonathan Sutherland of BBC Scotland. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journalism is in somewhat of a transitional period in some ways and in Scottish football that has been at the same time as the long-running saga at Ibrox which has put many of them in an area of which they know little about (for Spiers this is nothing unusual as he doesn't know Jack Shit about football either). One aspect of this has been how social media has influenced journalists over the last few years. In this the Celtic minded have been very active and have set agendas that some journalists without particular expertise in the corporate/financial seem to have followed aswell as those who would do naturally. Another is that some journalists seem to be becoming more an opinionated pundit. Tom English falls into this group as he is often on Sportsound airing an opinion without having to back it up as a journalist would/should. And then there is the commercial aspect that say for a pundit will mean being controversial may get him more gigs or as you mention.... tabloid, more controversy more clicks/sales. Bottomline Scottish footballing journalism is low quality but then it'd true to say the quality is falling accross the board.....and dangerously, 'controlling the media' has become more prevelent.

chilledbear 16 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Club Statement FOLLOWING almost a week of speculation Rangers would like to make it absolutely clear that no clubs have been in touch seeking permission to speak with our manager Mark Warburton. The club cannot prevent speculation but Rangers fans can be assured that Mark’s commitment to the job he has started with Rangers remains total, as he himself has already made clear. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousseau 9,373 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 These "journalists" are a joke. FFS. How many times does he have to say otherwise? It's done. Move on. But, of course they won't... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
