Meghan and Harry. Has anyone changed their opinion post Oprah?

Jaberwok

Apparently the Queen wanted to hand over the the running of the Commonwealth to Meghan and Harry, a proposition they.were, at first, very interested in and delighted with. I wonder if we will ever know why this never materialised.
What I can't understand is why we as a nation have been labled as racist, when in reality we welcomed her with open arms, were so pleased for Harry that he'd found this, as we thought, lovely lady who clearly made him happy and all seemed so good. Along with everything else I found that comment really hurtful. An acknowledgement of our welcome would have been nice, but no, the RF are toxic, and we as a nation are racist! Even Archbishop Welby has been put on the spot and severely embarrassed. Is nothing beyond these two?!

Read the bloody articles about Meghan early on and you’ll see why.

If you can’t....well, that’s another problem.

The papers with negative stories sold well. It’s not a leap to think those buying them bought for the racial undertones to satisfy their own dislike

Summerlove you are claiming people bought newspapers
with negative stories because these people are racist ?

I think one of the most interesting parts of the Ofcom report is the demographics of readership..

Yes, the fact that it holds the position of low in factual reporting and is classed as propaganda, says it all really.

Ellianne Charlie Hebdo's raison d'être is being distasteful.

Ellianne

Well, this is awful. Really distasteful, what were they thinking?

Well you know freedom of the press etc etc

I was going to go with "freedom of speech" suzie but yours is better.

It's so horrible Callistemon I've asked GN to remove it, but people can look it up if they want to.

I did wonder whether there were some Brexit undertones here, but that's another subject.

Hands up who supports PM being able to say what he wants about MM?
Hands up who think a magazine should be free to say what they want about the RF?

Hummmmm

Who is PM ?

I think it's Piers Morgan, about whom I have never made any comment Anniebach. I don't fit suziewoozie's description.

Don't get me wrong I'm not defending the Daily Fail! I don't read any of them faithfully - I dip in and out and cross reference. I just get a bit 'wry' when there are claims that one paper is more 'truthful' and reliable in it's reporting than another.

Anniebach

I’m saying people bought negative stories to confirm their own bias.

Racial or otherwise

sw Thanks for the links. I will read them later.

No Summerlove you did not say racial or otherwise, you
said -

It's not a leap, but neither is it a concrete fact.

I think what’s fair for me to say is that people who in the name of freedom of the press/ free speech , support PM and defend his right on national TV to call MM a liar can not in all logic then criticise a national magazine that publishes a cartoon they disapprove of.

The idea that there is no difference in truth and reliability between the tabloid press and the others is laughable imo

I would defend them both I think, because I think the alternative is far worse.

Will Meghan make an official complaint to Charlie Hebdo?

rubysong

Will Meghan make an official complaint to Charlie Hebdo?

Why would she?

I find that the idea that any press is, or ever can be, objective is ludicrous - and as Mr Murdoch pays my wages I feel I have every right to state that.

Suziwoosie she seems quick to make official complaints.

Who said that anyway - it’s about degrees not absolutes but having said same papers are absolutely awful . I honestly don’t ‘get’ why ‘two jabs’ Murdoch paying your wages has anything to do with your right to say what you did.
PS hope some got the two jabs joke - it’s going back a bit
