In 2008, my daughter @CamillaCleese voluntarily gave #MailonSunday US Editor Caroline Graham @cg66 an exclusive interview about growing up, our relationship, her journey as a comedian and going through recovery, in a bid to be open and honest.
@CamillaCleese wanted to set the record straight to prevent tabloids trying to dig up dirt later.
What @CamillaCleese didn't realise was that Caroline Graham had tasked an illegal private investigator to dig up private and confidential information about her anyway, behind her back, followed by an illegal search on me.
Okay, final #mailonsunday piece before I have a bloody mary at this rate.
Right – this piece is trope number 3 – just lie in the headline. So, the headline sounds shocking – LGBT people demand right to have LGBT representation on LGBT stories!! Actually, it doesn't...(1/9)

sound that bad when you say it like that, so it’s been misrepresented and twisted into our old false friend – the secret all powerful trans lobby that is silencing dissent (remember again – the gay lobby in the 80s what was silencing dissent. It’s a well-trodden path ...(2/9)
to encourage otherness).
When you read the article, no-one except #sanchezmanning said 'vet'. The LGBT group wants to play a role in editorial processes. Lots of people do that, and we always complain that editorial boards aren’t diverse enough (ahem #mailonsunday). (3/9)

Moving swiftly onto the #mailonsunday piece on @stonewalluk . Some context first (without belittling anyone’s genuine belief). Sainsburys has nearly 190,000 employees. This seems to be a complaint from a single employee as a reference source.

for Sanchez Manning. The definition of a whistleblower is someone who is in a protected position when informing about their employer’s breach of the law here (usually something underhand or hidden). So this person is not a whistleblower. Yet the word is used repeatedly...(2/9)
to give the story some (untrue) gloss. Try replacing the word ‘whistleblower’ with ‘person who does not agree with Sainsburys trans policies’ and the story loses its clickbait/dogwhistle appeal.

Okay, so now #mailonsunday. TBH I struggle a little with members of the LGBT+ community now quoting anti-trans or anti-Stonewall pieces from this newspaper, forgetting the vitriol they have previously had for us. Change of editorial policy or way to divide us? I think we...(1/10)
need to be more aware.
I’m splitting today's media check into 3 to make it easier. Firstly is this piece on pupils being brainwashed. So, this is a great example of making a very small thing seem like a tsunami about to drown us in wokeness. It follows a standard template: (2/10)

1.“Won’t someone think of the children??” Make alleged risk to children the issue – who would be anti that? Thing is, it’s not true and for those with selective memories, it was this newspaper (that didn’t want gay men as teachers. There is no risk here – there is no...(3/10)
