johnny9fingersThe Grauniad has done some analysis on the headlines generated by the Duchess of Sussex:
www.theguardian.com/global/2020/jan/18/meghan-gets-more-than-twice-as-many-negative-headlines-as-positive
I don't think we need much more evidence that there is still a lot of institutional racism in the UK. Especially in the press. Oh well. The evidence is out there, so the papers will now have to try to take control of the narrative. And if they do that, they will just be generating more negative stuff about Lady Sussex, re-enforcing the Graun's analysis.
Of course, all of this is based upon there never being any external judgement available to hold folk to account. The checks and balances seem, er, unchecked and unbalanced.
