But the red-tops aren’t waving white flags. Far from it. The Sun this Friday ran a long piece on “Windsors at War”, a grab-bag of gossip about Meghan’s alleged “snub” to Prince Charles, a side-swipe at the couple having “rushed” into marriage, a stab at their “millennial staff who do not give a damn about royal traditions”, and a quote from a “senior insider” warning the pair not to conduct themselves in “a disruptive and disreputable manner”, hint hint.
They
creatively interpreted Meghan’s complaint about the British stiff upper
lip as “a direct attack on the monarchy itself” and reported that “some
say” Harry shares his mother’s “tendency to have a victim complex and
be deeply paranoid”.
It’s going to be quite the royal rumble.The Sun in Britain is part of the Murdoch Global stable a mega-media giant which acts as a Hydra reducing the need for REAL JOURNALISTS or Real News anywhere.It's taken the place of gossip and smut magazines but on a global scale.
Murdoch Media relishes attacking Harry and Meghan on the pretext of defending the Monarchy which is a blind knowing full well if a loss occurs in the UK is a profit in the USA and Australia. It's a subject matter not only for local profit but global one and is acting in the same way Murdoch once did when he was caught grubbily tapping phones in the UK years ago. He sacrificed the News of the World and prison time for staff for a possible stint himself back then and doing an Alan Bond.
The purpose is Tabloid Sensationalism for sale in print or TV like the Kardashians but in this case Harry and Meghan two individuals who happen to be Royals who have been selected to be the VICTIMS of Murdoch's mega-global institution. Just one of his spears in the Hydra that can't be legally attacked in Australia is the anti -journalist Andrew Bolt who does little more than echo the monsters brain not his own. The bovver boys of the Murdocian Press aren't the victims Meghan and Harry are and have been and will continue to be into the future because the battle is worth a quid to the Murdoch corporate sewer. Here below what Bolt dutifully does and calls a job.
THE MONSTROUS SELF-PITY OF HARRY AND MEGHAN

“The shit has hit the fan.”

When the definitive history of Donald Trump’s impeachment inquiry is written, William B. Taylor Jr. will require a chapter all his own. The career diplomat and former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine put the bricks to Trump’s “no quid pro quo” defense on Tuesday during closed-door testimony before the House Oversight Committee, and did so in terms so stark and clear that gasps and sighs could be heard from the lawmakers as they listened.
The outline of Taylor’s testimony became public after The Washington Post obtained and published a copy of his 15-page opening statement. The document reads like a litany of doom for Trump, his attorney Rudy Giuliani, U.S. ambassador to the EU Gordon Sondland (who should probably be talking to an attorney versed in perjury defenses after his own testimony was soundly refuted by Taylor) and everyone else involved in running Trump’s “shadow diplomacy” in Ukraine.

Against the backdrop of a national crisis in which Donald Trump and his team have admitted that they attempted to extort a foreign government into interfering in the next U.S. presidential election, Democratic senators once again repeatedly attempted to bring election security legislation to the floor of the Senate Wednesday, and once again were repeatedly blocked by Republicans.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Democrat of Minnesota, asked for consent to bring her Honest Ads Act to the floor. It would require online and social media platforms to make "all reasonable efforts" to prevent foreign entities from placing political ads and require public disclosure of purchasers of political ads. Sen. John Thune, a South Dakota Republican and second-in-command in the Republican Senate leadership, blocked it, saying it needed "bipartisan work." Because, apparently, Republicans are fine with foreign governments helping them get elected by spending money on ads for them.
