I wouldn’t hold your breath with that happening.Been saying for years their News broadcasts are only positive ones to suit their agenda.
It’s not that. It’s people feeling let down.People desperate to be angry despite us dicking our beloved neighbours 24 hours earlier.
What a strange poster @Butcher's Coat is.
Laughing at fellow Sunderland supporters who are concerned about claims of racist abuse against a Sunderland player being glossed over by the local media.
Very odd behaviour.

Just tried to put one in myself but the email verification link they're supposedly sending hasn't turned up.
Wonder if they've had that many they're not accepting any more on the same subject?
I’ve explained above and it’s clear from the thread.

How odd you thinking that I am laughing at Sunderland supporters.
No. I’ve literally just done one. Check your junk?

Two or three on here also claim there's no bias.If we were smashing their team bus up, braying small groups of their fans in 1000s and racially abusing their players it would’ve been all over the media. People out there genuinely reckon there isn’t any biases up here man
Shoulder chipster comes to mind.

Yeah - nowt in there either
Hmmm. Might be best to re-submit in that case.
Just retried using my spare gmail address - went through no bother. Mustn't like ntlworld email addresses for some reason.
yeah - have done with a different email address - worked fine.
Then what are you laughing at?

I don’t watch ‘local evening news’, but watched Look North yesterday.
The difference between their ‘coverage’ (or almost non-coverage) and ITV’s in depth analysis of ALL of the incidents is stark.
It is chalk and cheese.
The editorial staff at the BBC should hauled over the coals….but they won’t be.
Sent this:
"Utterly unacceptable level of coverage of the events prior to, and during, the Premier League local derby between Newcastle and Sunderland. Hardly a mention of the thuggery and violence carried out by Newcastle 'fans' prior to the game - missiles, bottles and flares thrown at visiting fans. The Sunderland team bus being attacked and damaged - all under the 'watchful eyes' of Northumbria Police.
Then we get Dawn Thewlis and Luke Edwards speaking in hushed tones about the game - as if a Newcastle loss was a tragedy for the North-east. Glossing over the racial abuse received by Lutsharel Geertruida as if it was nothing more than 'banter' and comparing it to a poor piece of goalkeeping by Ramsdale.
This is something that has no place in the modern game and society, yet it was light-heartedly brushed aside with a platitude. I suspect that had these events taken place in the earlier reverse fixture then much more would have been made of it, along with sombre faces and expressions of condemnation from the very same presenters.
I also suspect that had the result been different there would have been a much more extensive coverage, along with fan interviews and clips of black-and-white festooned pubs and clubs in the throes of ecstatic celebration.
This needs to be looked into and sorted out - it is no longer funny, and can no longer be tolerated from a news outlet that is meant to be for the whole of the North-east and Cumbria, and not just for Newcastle."
