I'm glad that the #ToxicBritishMedia is trending. It’s strange that is has happened because of the royal family. There are bodies buried across the country who were literally killed by the media. Suicides, overdoses, eating disorders, mental health issues, substance abuse - all
Exacerbated by the cruel housing of the media. There are thousands of family members and friends who spent a quarter of a century correcting the lies about their loved ones at Hillsborough. There is the grave of a 13yr old murder victim, whose name is remembered, because the
Media hacked her phone. It was this same bunch of animals who vilified the miners, vilified teachers and nurses to tear the country apart. They are a plague. There is no part of life in the UK that has not been worsened by them.
*housing = hounding

@ellievhall I see you DC based, so not sure how familiar you are with the UK media scene.
The harsh criticism of the book in the UK began with the leak of the book in Spain. The media attacked Harry for everything - except his attacks on them. The intent was to brand Harry a liar and a
@ellievhall Fantasist before the book which condemned them was released.
The loudest voices - especially on social media were:
Kelvin McKenzie /the Sun
Piers Morgan/ Sun/News of the World
Dan Wootton /Sun/ talkRadio /talkTV
Julia Hartley Brewer/talkRadio/ talkTV
Mike Graham/talkRadio/talkTV
@ellievhall And Jeremy Clarkson/Sun/Sunday times.
The Sun, The News of the World, the Times, The Sunday Times, talkRadio and talkTV are all owned by Rupert Murdoch. Who also owns Fox. I believe he is the only media personality who is actually named in Harry’s book.
Empire of hate. His newspapers bought illegally obtained tapes that uncovered 'Tampon Gate' , 'Squidgy Gate'. His papers called Diana a tart and spread the fear that her relationship with Fayed, might give William a Muslim brother. They lied about the miners,and the steel workers
In the seventies and eighties, they lied about teachers and nurses, costing them the respect they once had. Today they continue to do it. They lied about Brexit, they lie about immigrants. They lie about the RMT, ambulance drivers and NHS staff.
Now I’m the spotlight over Harry,
