I'm currently in the Canary Islands with little other option and it worked fine for me min. I'm always a little sceptical when folk go a little Trumpy complaining about bias in the media, when all they really mean is it doesn't offer bias they agree with.
It's not necessarily bias, although the central belt centric coverage is shocking. It's the deliberate argumentativeness of it, unnecessarily trying to be edgy rather than objective. Trying to be sensational rather than measured.
Yes it's unlistenable at times.. particularly when Michael Stewart is in the studio and being an erse ...deliberately goading English. ..And Kenny McIntyre doesn't help matters by just not coming across as warm and or relatable.
Kenny McIntyre is now Richard Gordon I'll grant you that. However, I suspect a bunch of Central Belt types prefer him as there's less AFC bias nowadays. It's not an objective thing - most people if they're honest prefer bias they're in favour of rather than listening to something with no side at all
Oh I understand that. Pretty sure MacIntyre is a wee free bluenose but at times the 'analysts' interactions are nasty and go beyond the boundary of just being bants. At least when Leanne is in the studio it's a less toxic listen
Football, beyond statistics, is subjective. It isn’t like a politician denying actual facts like Trump does, everyone who watches football is biased. It was telling that literally nobody else watching the game agreed with English and English had to joke his way out of the hole he dug.
