I think journalists go very easy on city. We all know they cheated, a lot know they intimidate officials in their own nefarious ways and yet they are celebrated for being champions and lauded for pep football.So you think Journalists aren't criticizing City because they are worried they'll get chopped up?
May not be because they are worried about being chopped up, but how can such an obviously corrupted institution be getting such a handy pass that’s effectively the “that would be an ecumenical matter” level of Apathy? I’m sure “well they could sue us for defamation” kind of defence could be used but this never puts rag papers off running rampant lies about people or institutions when it suits.
So yes; I’d say there’s some fear for multiple reasons, legal and physical, along with self vested interest of making money off the EPL. A lot easier to get open doors promoting the league than highlighting its corruption. Whistleblowing is not for the faint hearted and we as a society have a truly awful record at destroying people trying to uncover the truth.
