My issue with the BBC is really that it is so lazy. Obviously no-one actually checks the National League content on the website ............. like ever. It has been basically a Wrexham website for ages. Chesterfield briefly captured a few stories back when we had loudmouth Martin Allen in charge, because everything he said or did made the news, because he put it out there. Finding Chesterfield content required no journalistic or investigative skills, simply cut and paste. Wrexham for a Wrexham fan takes no work. Pictures look pretty. Fits the space. No-one checks. And if you are York City or Chester ....... well the city walls are working nicely ....... no one's gonna find anything out about you are they?
There are hundreds of examples of the same lax attitude on TV and across web content. Standards are low. Take Athletics as an example, the coverage is pathetic. Now Mo Farah's dead, we have three athletes in the country, Dina Asher-Smith, Laura Muir and KJT. If anybody else is going to get some coverage they have to win a gold medal and if you are an up-and-coming athlete, maybe making your first breakthrough to senior ranks you'd better break a British record, or nobody will get to hear about you. If you are a fan of a sport the BBC website is a good place to find out what you already know. John Cleese called it the bleedin' obvious.
