After Gary Neville’s recent Twitter outburst about the standard of journalism, Gareth Roberts hosts James McKenna, Josh Sexton and ESPN’s Glenn Price to discuss his point. Is there too much clickbait and ‘churnalism’?
Is there too much manufactured outrage? Or is this what the people want? And what standards should we hold journalists to anyway, particularly those writing about football?
The bottom line is Neville said at the start of the season there wouldn’t be any excuses for Man Utd not to deliver this season. He’s clearly backtracked on that now, and he doesn’t like the journalists pulling him up on it.
Neville comes across like he’s a good pundit, but scratch below the surface just enough and he’s just a puppet of Fergie and Man Utd.
