Punk Football- Journalism

Is the blog entitled Punk Football real journalism? Although I'm quite new to the subject I think it is. The reason for this is because the blogger doesn't actually write the stories himself. Oh no, he generally steals from newspapers, usually the Manchester Evening News. The problem with the blog title is that it appears to deceipt funny or crazy aspects of the beautiful game. It doesn't, however. Instead it is a review of F.C United, the "fans" team created, by those who were opposed to the Glazer takeover of Manchester United. It can be very useful for those who support the small club. This is because it gives reviews of each game and any other information that has been published about the club, in various publications. The one downside to the blog is that it is quite biased toward F.C United and and doesn't appear to give a reflection for both sides. This is however quite understandable, primarlly because it appears to be a blog by and for F.C United fans.
