Echo Sports "Journalists"

[Daytripper]

It’s not journalism in my opinion. If it was they clearly would have highlighted and acknowledged the goings on at Everton over the years. They did not. So much so a group of fans even ended up having a meeting with them over their lack of reporting on the running on the club. they got mocked for reporting on Leon Osman going go-karting.

Gav Buckland depresses me, just his voice but I understand why there is a lot to be despairing about with Everton.

Has Aldo won his 4th Echo Annual Journalist of the Year yet?

 

[brieverton]

They make lists of whom we "could" sign and whom we "should" sign, none of which have any grounding in reality.
Absolute rubbish.

They'll occasionally put out some exclusive interviews/behind the scenes pieces that are quite good and not in other publications. But wading through the other BS is not worth it. They get drowned out by the awful stuff. The rest is so laughable and click-baity that it's gross. Unfortunately I'm not sure it's possible to be a real journalist there.

Yes true enough, I don’t buy the Echo anymore and the only thing I miss about it is the death column and have missed out on paying my respect to people who I haven’t heard about who have passed away.

Been boycotting it for years.

I get what some are saying about it not being the journalists, but those in charge. But if they don't care about Everton, why should I care about the echo?

Long overdue a ban from Goodison Park and Finch Farm. Wouldn't make a blind bit of difference to the way Everton is covered by it anyway

….they get global ‘hits’ from global LFC fans thirsty for cult information. Like the satellite TV companies, they serve the hand that feeds them.

 

[Shevin Keedy]

I still tend to have a look at when they show a load of random pictures of criminals from the area; a right rogues' gallery. Bet there's been a few off this forum on there once or twice.

Absolutely there should be a ban from Everton but they probably don't mind it's brand of soft "journalism."

What I don't understand is why there isn't a major boycott of it by Blues fans. Anyone buying it is basically funding a kopite propaganda comic in my opinion and should be ashamed of themselves.

 

[Pettifogger]

I'm American so I only see it on Twitter, but even aside from Everton it seems like a clickbait tabloid. It's a sham of a paper for a city of Liverpool's size.

 

[Efcjake]

I like them. Adam Jones in particular. I don't blame them for having to work within an organisation that's obsessed with page views.

The young lads are far more in touch with the support, or at least my views. The likes of Kirkbride, Beesley, Buckland and, worst of all of them, Prentice, are all absolute sycophants living in the past and focused more on not upsetting the club than doing anything that could remotely be classed as "Journalism".
