Why are you posting sensationalised tabloid crap then?

How do you know it is crap? As you seem to believe it is, post something that refutes it - or would that be sensationalised crap too?

FYI Royal correspondents have been saying similar in TV interviews.

The thing is, you don’t know that it’s true but will blindly believe it is which is kind of the issue people have with the press no?

I don't blindly believe anything, I listen to all sides and form my conclusions and my own opinions.

It's you that blindly believes everything that not glowing is not true, and you don't post anything to refute any claims? Why not?
I guess the Judge that threw out her allegations of mistreatment by the press is a blind hater too?

...it’s essentially just the ‘airing of family linen’ in public...which is fine for anything that is of public interest but most about Meghan isn’t...on top of the completely different and contrasting styles of reporting for her and Kate...one being supportive and the other being hostile has been a common vein...but regardless of what element of truth or fabrication in any report...whatever Meghan’s actions have been...?...how she has been treated by the tabloids and some public is far worse...it’s en masse bullying...

Common sense would tell you that no, she did not deserve that.

Even Goebbels understood the power of the media nearly a century ago.

It's no coincidence that brexit was preceded by years of scaremongering in rw rags.

Indeed. Trumpets statement above would be more true IF we had a free, broad, independent press without vested interests. Unfortunately that's not what we have, we have a small collection of junk tabloids largely controlled by a small group of people who have clear conflicts of interest when it comes to guiding and nudging public opinion in certain directions.

...yeah in terms of any large political decision of a country, the media doesn’t reflect public opinion, it shapes it...public opinion is so often undecided, much more than we realise ..and it’s then moulded by the media...

Let's face it, none of us know the state of any relationship that we are not involved in. All I see is a very tactile couple with a young child who seem to ber very much in love with each other. Wherever they live and whatever they do is up to them now, they have severed the ties of Royal Life and whatever Harry's father decides to pay for them is his business really. I personally don't follow them or any of the Royals in depth, Royal Correspondents only have the monarchy's interests at heart pretty much and the tabloids journos would sell their parents for a scoop. With all the rest of the awful goings on in the world, Harry and Meghan fall low on the list of things I would be getting invested in

‘The fallout between Harry and William’
Two brothers arguing, they’re royals, not aliens, it happens

‘Not towing Royal lines’
Harry has never towed royal lines

Her mother was the only one at the wedding, her father had a heart attack and couldn’t fly and her sister seems like a trouble maker, it’s their decision who comes to their wedding.

The twisting that’s involved to make her out to be a bad person is astounding

They try hard to stay relevant by jumping on the latest bandwagon. Poor Harry could hardly get a minute to speak before she was off on her soapbox again with her LA'isms.
