The Star On Samir Carruthers

[Bladesman]

I know the editor and as far as I know SHE is not a fan of football.

So has no say on what gets published then? just gives the green light to any old shit?

You do wonder.
A photographer from the Star came to my Son's school and she was there being a fellow parent. The photographer didn't know who she was. Make of that what you will

 

[Sean Thornton]

Do tell me how this alleged anti-United bias works - are potential new recruits asked which team they support and only Wednesdayites selected? Does the editor censor articles to ensure a pro-Wednesday bias? Do they have news meetings every morning discussing ways of putting down United?

Couldn't you have inserted a click bait link suggesting some bird getting her tits out but really selling cat food in that post?

Honestly dont know what to make of that !

 

[Hackblade]

You know it all boils down to the editor, so don't give us all that twaddle.

Despite what you may think some newspapers and journalists need to be held accountable for the shit they write.

So you think Nancy Fielder is such a staunch Wednesdayite that she goes around instructing staff to write anti-United articles?

You don't need to instruct anyone, you just give it the go ahead.

There is no merit in what you do, which goes some way to explaining why your trade is dying on its arse.

 

[blade too long]

To be fair, it is pretty disgusting. I hope he doesn't do it anymore.

he was born in Islington, the chances of him being a gunners fan seem pretty high
its not like hes even a plastic fan
cant diss anyone who follow their local team

That posters style is very reminiscent of the Fake Doctor on BladesMad TD.

Sounds the sort of thing an arrogant pig fan would do,,, yes
they think they are something special

its like asking why it took United 6 years and seven meetings and 600ks worth of architects drawings to get the go ahead to make bramall lane world cup ready for 2018 bid with Sheffield council and it took Strafford and his 200 quid 10 minute graphic display an 8 minute council meeting to get full unfettered clearance 3 months before admission dates
not one question on who was funding wednesdays half

So he's gone from quack to hack?

 

[bladesmanluke]

Fuck them, boycott them and tell all of your family to do the same. Spread the word.

Also, stop clicking on their website, block them on social media. They get ad money from each click online. Starve the fuckers

So it's the staff, is it - The Star is staffed by journalists who put their support of Wednesday ahead of their professional duties and the editor waves it through?

Yes it would appear so.

You seem to struggle to grasp that there is such a thing as media bias.

 

[Hackblade]

Wow, amazing to think that Wednesdayites have taken over The Star and are using it to push their agenda.

 

[mattbianco1]

Wonder if they'll keep the "communities reporter" on after his work experience finishes?

He's a right tool...

Wow yeah, that does sound implausible doesn't it? Not.

You don't seem to know much about joirnalistic or editorial bias do you?

 

[Clarkey87]

They haven't taken over, it's always been a pig rag.

 

[Minty]

Only me who sees the irony here?

Probably - I was reading the thread I thought would be about The Star's story on Carruthers

 

[RammyBlade]

This is my post from elsewhere, could post another for Radio Sheffield
just as bad:

People should remember the Star's recent editorial lines re United on
all important issues:

No condemnation for Wednesdays administration and ripping off of local
businesses.

Tevez Affair: football should be decided on the pitch regardless of
any impropriety by West Ham or the FA.

World Cup bid: no opposition to Wednesday getting the proposed gig,
despite bid relying on money from the public purse. McCabe had offered
to fund the Blades bid.Also wider questions about propriety of
Wednesdays bid not mentioned by Star, despite McCabe's comments

Focus on human right record of Saudia Arabia after the Prince got
involved. Ignorance of human rights abuses of Thailand (Chansiri),
Serbia (Mandaric) and Azerbaijan, after proposed takeover of
businessman Hafiz Mammadov

No comment on animal rights abuses of John West Tuna, despite
mainstream media covering it and mass petitions.

Ched Evans: no condemnation of any anti Evans chants before his first
trial - including prominent "she said no" chants from Wednesday.

Condemnation of Sufc fans support of Evans, including a ridiculous
article that sensationalised a few morons singing a minor chant for
Ched. No mention was made of the whole crowds support for a recently
deceased child on the same night. This was subsequently removed after public outcry

Editors opposition to SUFC allowing the released Evans to continue his
rehabilitation at SUFC once released.

No opposition to his signing for Chesterfield.

A succession of racist incidents among Wednesday fans, not being given
the primacy that they'd have no doubt got if it was Blades fans
involved.

No condemnation of Wednesdayites actions in Palace relegation match.

Condemnation of Marlon King signing.

Printing open letter from Coventry fan on Sisu issue. No room given
for Sufc supporter(s) response for several days - until public outcry.

Focus on new SUFC signing, Samir Carruthers', off field indiscretion: "Urinating in a glass and supporting Arsenal: Everything you need to know..."

Thanfully I dont buy this rag as I dont live in Sheffield but looking at the list above this so called paper is disgraceful and I woulld urge all Blades fans to never buy this apology of a newspaper - just like Liverpool fans dont buy the Sun for the lies they printed about Hillsborough. At least the Sun has apologised a number of times unlike the Stir !

 

[mattbianco1]

Agreed Dronnie. Let's be right, if the club banned it entirely it would have little or no effect on 99% of Blades fans or the club's fortunes. Tell them to end the bias or we pull the plug for good.

Fergie stopped talking to the BBC, why can't SUFC say "stop the drivel otherwise we're not being interviewed by you".

A Sheffield paper shouldn't be biaised towards any Sheffield club. We let them report on Chezzy and Barnsley and Rotherham because they don't have a local paper. They definitely shouldn't post something pro-Coventry.

Seems this Burke (or Berk) wanted to ruffle a few feathers (probably owl feathers), quickly realised his mistake and altered the article. No changed the twitter post though.

theres one at the Express too
they use all they can to polish the turd they support

professional duties of a hack
have you heard of the Levison inquiry

be saying next west ham dont use the press to further their fiddling ways

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Honestly dont know what to make of that !

How about a nice three-piece safari suit, crushed velvet lining, triple buttoned shoulder lapels in powder blue?

If you look further down his twitter feed, he's being rebuked by another user for using his name and lying about what he said in another story.

A prime example of print journalists being capricious cunts.

And he doesn't want to discuss it on the feed. Wonder why?

 

[nopigfansintown]

Ideal opportunity for the Star to continue its softening of its stance to the Blades fans at Coventry. BWFC have reacted similarly SUFC and their local paper has reported it. A follow up story could be a possibility?:

No consistency in moral standards here
why
pig fans at the sheffield office sticking the boot in at every opportunity
they need to look at themselves, not in a mirror as some wont have a reflection

Been in the game all my life but it took a media genius like you to enlighten me. For a moment I thought your love of Sheffield United was making you talk drivel.

Clearly it did. All the disingenuous crap you've written on this thread is resounding proof of that.

Are you a journalist hackblade ?

 

[JohnDenver]

Didn't Gary Madine once do something even more insanitary with a pint glass, or was that just a scurrilous rumour?
