Tipps69 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I know I shouldn't look through the rag but I do have a look every now & then. Anyway, the first news story is about a lad who has been in court for biting a 1 year-old baby boy on the cheek while he was baby-sitting him. But what I don't understand is that the last paragraph decides to state that the lad involved is a Bristol City fan who smokes cannabis!! WTF has him being a Bristol City fan got to do with him biting a baby on the face? There is no longer anywhere to comment on their stories & to make a complaint you have to write a letter!! Sorry but I'm really pissed off that the club have been brought into this, what difference does it make that he's supposedly a City fan? Is this acceptable to the club @Dollymarie @AdamB @Mkelly ? Not sure who else to bring this to the notice of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Just typical of the Post. They print stories (on all subjects) which provoke a response, because they're paid by how many views their adverts get, or something along those lines. As there are infinitely more readers linked to City, they aim the contentious stories at the bigger audience most likely to respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 What a shit bit of journalism. Presumably, if he reads the Bristol Post there will be a correction tomorrow stating he's a Bristol Post reader. Oh, and what a **** the bloke in question is.

Bristol Rob Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 This story isn't remotely amusing, any attempts at frivolity should be jettisoned Immediately. Kids shouldn't be harmed; whilst under the stewardship of parents, guardians or trusted others. I'm sure justice will run its course. For the local rag to suggest - or imply - that the accused by way of being a supporter of a local football club (City or Rovers) is relevant is a step far beyond the scope of the story. It does thousands of people a massive disservice. @Tristan Cork you brave enough to defend your cock of a colleague, or would you agree that a complaint would be justified?

Tristan Cork Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 I've spoken to our court reporter who wrote this report. Apparently, the fact this guy is a City fan was pretty much the only thing said in mitigation by his defence barrister to the judge. A court reporter has to accurately present both sides of what was said in court, and so had to include it to meet the rules on court reporting. However, if people feel they want to make a complaint then I couldn't possibly encourage anyone to email the news editor chris.allen@trinitymirror.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So either it was the only thing offered in mitigation or it wasn't. There is no 'pretty much' about it. Assuming of course the reporter did indeed follow the rules on court reporting.

Robinito Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 What the hell has whichever football club he supports have to do with the story? Why not tell us then, which country he supported in the last world cup? Or his favourite colour? None of this information has any bearing on the story whatsoever.

Tipps69 Posted May 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 A copy of the email I have just sent Chris Allen..... Morning,I wonder if you could help me understand something?On your Bristol Post website last night (11-5-17) was a story posted by one of your reporters regarding a 1 year-old baby being bitten on the cheek by a man who was supposed to be baby-sitting the youngster!!But why does the last paragraph have to state that the person responsible for this is a Bristol City Football fan? What relevance does that have on this story? Is it to make out that all Bristol City fans abuse children because that is what it feels like!! Why was there no mention as to who his favourite musical act is or who his favourite actor / actress is?I have made the football club aware of this story as I feel it is a slander on the club for which they have no reason to be mentioned within the story.I look forward to your reasoning.
