Look North/Tyne Tees Coverage ***Europa League Special***

[Thatheaderman]

A perfectly serious point based on fact.

Dawn Thewlis actually finished the coverage by saying "we really need an international break". Clearly when she says "we" she only means Newcastle (obviously Sunderland would not want an international break as they have the momentum of a victory).

Conclusive proof of bias.

Unbelievable really. If they were beaten off man c or something, but another team in region. Dear me

BBC complaint submitted:

"There was some racism, which was regrettable, as was the goalkeeping for Sunderland's first goal"

Is this seriously the extent of your reporting into a racist incident at St.James Park which caused a match to be paused under the racism protocol for the first time?

Were the videos of Sunderland supporters being attacked with bottles and the windscreen of the team coach being put out not worthy of inclusion in your report?

Why did the presenters speak as though they were at a funeral?

Why did this item rank so low on your schedule when ITV Tyne Tees had it as the main story and featured interviews with anti-racism spokespeople?

I rather suspect that, if these acts had been committed by Sunderland fans instead of Newcastle the content would have been vastly different.

This is the most biased reporting and is verging on Trump-level propaganda.

I look forward to your explanation as to why you seem to consider racism not important.

Spot on

Remember Edwards had to apologise when he suggested, after Johnson scored and ran away with his arms out, that he was mocking the plane crash when Newcastle supporters died. He had to pay a fine.

Twat

They’ll put it down to simply bitter Sunderland supporters

Kick it out shouldn't. Really bad that mind

Kick it out shouldn't. Really bad that mind

Kick it out should be informed what he said ! Given was chastised for his gaff Edwards should be sacked

 

[tunstallhill]

Would be hilarious if Edwards and Look North got punished for that..

The bias thing was laughable but not measurable... But making a daft joke trivialising racist comments as equally as regrettable as a goal keeping error can't be hidden from..

Drag the twats over the coals

I've contacted them and easy to do. I think it's really bad like. Actually making a joke about it and moving on. The BBC ffs

 

[hardlife]

BBC LOOK NORTH..
Do the right thing everybody dump the licence fee..you know it makes sense, you plonkers

 

[billingham-mackem]

Edwards also said he was happy for Brobbey as he was unplayable and it was one of the best striker’s performances he’s seen at the SOL this season

Both insinuated the mags poor play let us win

Itv was much better as they had comments from @Rip Van Fish

 

[All or Nothing]

These lot at Local BBC don’t even try to hide their bias smug opinions , but they seem to get away with it . Like it was pointed out earlier reverse the issue and they would be like a dog with a bone .

Didn't see it but please tell me that wasn't how it was reported ...if so, the Reporter and the Programme Editor want hauling over the coals!

Done it too

 

[ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK]

Luke Edwards on racism: "Very regrettable that as was the goalkeeping from Aaron Ramsdale." A direct quote, that.

I used to think the Look North Korea stuff was a bit overdone but that was incredible. Two NUFC fans talking about the losing team more than the winners. Shocking all around.

The difference is shocking and for those that missed it, here's the 2 links (they may expire in 24 hours)

ITV, 1st item for just over 4 mins about the racism and violence, then just before 16mins another 3 and a half mins showing fan interviews etc

BBC, just over 2 minutes long starting around 13:40ish

I hope they both are made to apologise publicly

Yeah me too .....but I said it from the Heart & mentioned the two of them would be reprimanded in any other profession...Absolutely Disgusting & Disrespectful

I actually e-mailed Louise Wanless, bless her, after this, she was brilliant, replied straight away and said the club were aware of it and it was being addressed.

Used this as inspiration to write my own. Cheers

If the twats had beaten us the whole show would have been dedicated to it.

It's not paranoia, it's blatant, the disappointment in her voice when talking about it, they need to remember it's a game between 2 teams they are meant to broadcast on. Honestly think this should be addressed. If you are from Sunderland, you are not getting bang for your buck.
