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


I think a lot of people were complaining about the fact he described the racism as almost as bad as a save by their keeper.

I actually feel for Edwards on this. If he had any journalistic integrity left in him he'd have realised Look North have stitched him up. Instead he sucked it up which will prove to be a mistake.
 
Didn’t he do a dance for the takeover with the mags?

He did. I don't think you dance in your front room and post it on social media if you're in the right place mentally. Well, maybe if you're a teenage girl. A middle aged bloke doing it is worrying to be honest. I don't like him but I do think Look North have scapegoated someone who is already vulnerable. Piss poor of them.

I would not make a flippant jovial comparison to a goalkeeper save v a racist comment regardless of how the people paying me treated me.

There is literally no excuse.

Really? Fuckin REALLY??

This is your reaction to one of our all time heroes being racially abused???

Unless I'm reading this wrong and you're just a mag geordie racist wum

If you're an SAFC fan and this is your reaction then you should really be ashamed.

I actually agree with this. He apologised on his own platform after the response yet there was none on the stage it was made on. I must admit I didn't even know who he was but he didn't seem comfortable there at all and seemed to be led by the script.

😳 Sorry mate, this video was meant to be for a different thread I was responding to but must of flicked between and was a little too tipsy to notice. I totally apologise and would never intentionally put any thing on to offend Gary or anyone else ☹️
 
I didn’t see it but editorially it sounds terrible
If the recism thing wasn’t properly discussed
If we weren’t leading the story with the win
Imagine if the racism had been at sil
If you watched it and aren’t happy send in a complaint
The complaints must stack up

I sent in a complaint (well a rant really) and haven't had anything back from them, typical mags
 
All about the viewers perception of a broadcast marra.
Surely people's perception is how you interpret information, then your opinion is what judgment(s) you make regarding that information.??

The BBC broadcasted a report on Sunday night 22nd March and on the Breakfast bulletins on 23rd March. The match was also reported on the main BBC One news evening bulletins on 22 March.
In my opinion, that was fair enough. Move on to other things.

People who were moaning about Monday teatime's coverage are wanting what?? The match was finished, over and done with over 24 hours earlier, the reports already done and dusted.

They will be moaning that the opening pictures of Look North don't have enough Sunderland based pictures next, or Sunderland pinpointed on the weather report. ;)
We won. 6 easy points. I just can't understand fans concentrating on the negatives.

OK it may be perceived that Look North is biased, but I honestly believe that some fans, who dislike the coverage , watch it just to whinge on.

Celebrate success.

Whinge on if we get beat

I watched it out of curiosity having seen the threads on here
I was more disgusted than I expected to be. I still am. If it wasn't the BBC but a commercial operator, I'd let it go

This is such a small time serf attitude. "Yes our lord makes us toil in the fields and give him half of our grain, but we shouldn't complain as at least the sun is out".

People like you are exactly why injustice carries on and never changes. I don't care how small something is, I am the type of person who speaks up if it is wrong. None of this "just be happy you have anything at all" lark.

I totally disagree that we are just focusing on the negatives, most people with more than half a brain can do two things at once.

Does anyone have a link/clip of the Look North sports coverage from Monday night? I missed it, and just realising after reading this that there's hell on!
 
The Tyne Tees coverage was proportionate.

The Look North coverage was edited to a) remove virtually all coverage of negative incidents involving their support; and b) minimise coverage of the Sunderland win.
Also it was broadcast in a generally
funereal, wounded tone by their knacker of a sports editor. Her bias is so obvious it’s pathetic to listen to. Detests SAFC.
