    BBC news.

    The BBC support what they see as authority.
    You must never watch Panorama if you believe that.

    The BBC are accused of Being left wing by the Tories.

    and being too Liberal and sycophantic by Labour.

    I didn't expect a news item at 6.45 to be anything else but put both sides of the story. If one side tells porkies, then not being Panorama it will come across as lame to fans like us.

    If you start slagging off the BBC on this issue, you as individuals really don't understand how the media work. there job is to portray both sides of the story, We have had great Publicity from Radio 5(BBC) and Talksport with Danny Kelly showing what a great Broadcaster and Football fan he is by giving our cause a great airing with the Airman Brown interview.

    Anyone who knows me or saw me at the protests or Hull yesterday,
    Knows that the battle to save our club go'es on.

    I really hope that as our demise is coming quicker than any of us could
    of envisaged: not a death by a 1000 cuts but we have just been guillotined
    by the most deluded Owner and CEO it is possible to have.

    I think the point is that it didn't tell both sides of the story. It said we were unhappy with results, meanwhile the club had appointed a popular manager, invested in the training ground, increased the playing budget, invested in the pitch and reached more than 50,000 people through community work.

    That's 5 vs 1, and the 1 on our side isn't even the point of our protests.
  • I'm no fan of the BBC, but this report wasn't awful. It probably helped our cause.
    It came over as 'A club in trouble, on and off the pitch, with supporters who are unhappy with both'. Neutrals watching it would have got the message that things aren't good, and we're fighting back.
    "Charlton weren't available to speak to us today..." The producer had to provide captions for the club's side of the story, which looked weak. "We are starting to consult with as many groups and individual as possible..." LOL
    The peice raised our plight and made management look largely inept.

    didn't see this Christmas Eve 2014 (seems a long time ago) but it seems the reporter and KM have met before, may explain the lame coverage last night

    Explains it all. Can't blame the BBC for that but can question the objectivity of the reporter who is probably more concerned with maintaining a contact (and a female one in football, always useful) than being a journalist. A shame.

    It happens though. And we suspect she was proactively encouraged by the Club. Let's..er..move on. We have BBC London Radio Sport right behind us, and some of those guys such as Pete Stevens cross over to the TV. If we do a good, media friendly job on the 23rd, I'm sure there will be good coverage.

    And yet the government despise them because they see them as left-wing and anti-authority. Damned if you do ...

    Not sure why so many on CL have been moaning that the media have been ignoring is, and then when they start paying attention moaning that the media is not peddling the very line we want them to. All publicity helps get the message out all is not well. Was it a good piece of journalism? No. But it spreads the word and makes it gradually harder for the regime to keep silent
    Bit of sense here.
  • Local TV news is always superficial - seen it many times in other contexts. No conspiracy, just not very good at understanding or relating the story if it is in any way complicated.

    I recently complained about BBC SE News referring to a 2014 report into Thanet District Council with a huge graphic of the word "corruption" when the report indicated nothing of the sort.

    A pre 2010 (Tory) council leader had gone to prison for something he'd done in office, but it was beyond them to understand that wasn't what the self-commissioned 2014 report into a different (Labour) administration was about. Got a load of waffle back, but basically it was too complicated for them. The graphic was still outrageous. Hardly a left-wing conspiracy.

    They are also obsessed with UKIP, which came third in Kent in the general election, a point they prefer to gloss over in presenting them as the opposition to the incumbent Tories.

    Mind you, the ITV local news is unwatchable.

    Chrissie Reidy is really good!
  • Are you saying the "Love it ..." comment was a joke?
    You seem to have time on your hands? My lounge needs decorating.

    Which is why we need to see huge numbers protesting after a win at The Valley. It would show that it's more than just results.

    I'm a huge BBC fan.

    Each to their own but perhaps the wrong forum to advertise this. Especially on a family club chatroom ;-)

    Rachael the local weather girl down in the S.E is a sort!
  • I was interested about what they said regarding the local community. I was in that youth club before a recent game. What struck me was the number of posters reminding patrons not to stab each other.
    In my day posters reminded us to use the ash trays provided.
  • Probably mates after that meeting - they seemed to have that 'connection'.
    Sisters are doin' it for themselves!

    A win at The Valley?! Now you are taking things too far, surely?
