Soccer bigger in Sydney than any other code

Mike Tuckman recently wrote in the Roar about news... I think he maybe right... having said that it is good to see...

Want to know why News Corp is suddenly running positive pieces on the A-League? Because journalism ain’t paying so well and the net must now be cast far and wide to lure as many readers as possible.

It used to be that outlets like News Corp acted as gate-keepers, publishing about topics it had a vested interest in and keeping stories about rival interests out of the newspaper.

But the internet age has rendered the mainstream media obsolete, leading to a frenzy of click-baiting aimed at attracting parochial respondents from polar-opposite ends of the spectrum.

That NRL groupie (google it) can go and do one.

Slag is 100% Uncle Rupert's in house stooge.

News Corp use a high level of specialised sport coverage to get people to read their awful papers. If they didn't write so much about AFL, nobody would touch the Herald Sun with a ten foot pole. Same goes for its sister paper the Daily Telegraph, the opinion section is one of the most atrocious things to have been printed on paper and is done so daily and is nothing but a testament to misinformation and pushing across Rupert's and his friends' interests.

With the round ball getting so many fans in Western Sydney (because News Corp don't give two tosses about the latte sippers of the inner city and east like me, not enough population base compared to out West), as well as its big support in Victoria especially after the Man U/Melb Vic game, its only natural for their garbage papers to increase coverage on the sport in a desperate hope people will read the rest of their god awful papers. Same applies to Rupert's other news website, news.com.au

Sorry to rant. I just hate the media.
