Daily Fail and Duchess of Sussex

Just saw this half way down the home page of the Daily Mail. Clearly it’s a part of the settlement agreed after Meghan’s success in the courts.

This isn’t a thread about Meghan, it’s more the Daily Mail trying to hide this in their homepage and so trying to bring attention to it!

I think anyone who cares already knows about that case. A lot of people who don't give a shit know about it, so anyone who does surely must know?

JingleBeth · 26/12/2021 14:56

Oh I know! It’s more to highlight DM’s attempts to hide this on their page and so to ensure as many clicks as possible!

The haters don’t want to talk about it, they were convinced she would lose. So glad she won.

I’m not sure why you feel that’s your duty ?

I suppose it’s like some posters who like to post everything negative about her, some people would like to highlight stuff like this. Why not? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ah, so no one should ever share a story on here? Got ya!

Anything that the DM doesn't want publicised I'm happy to have publicised.

AFS1 · 26/12/2021 15:00

I did notice it this morning. The fact that they didn’t have a photo made it more obvious! Love the fact they lost (again) and gave clearly been forced by the court to publish the judgment so are desperately trying to bury it.

They’d be funny if they weren’t, at varying times, pathetic, harassing, racist and stupid.

Poor excuse for a newspaper!

NarcissaMalfoysManicure · 26/12/2021 15:01

I have clicked it to generate traffic in my own small way, of course

SilverRingahBells · 26/12/2021 15:16

The problem is, do they benefit from ad revenue on the clicks?

SilverRingahBells · 26/12/2021 15:17

Can someone post a screenshot?

ThanksIGotItInMorrisons · 26/12/2021 15:18

Don’t care. Can’t stand her or her waste of space hubby. I’d write it as small and unobtrusive as I could as well.

Theluggage15 · 26/12/2021 15:21

Who cares? I find calling it the Daily Fail pathetic when you clearly read it.

You don’t care yet here you are. 😝

Daily Mail readers probably shouldn't, no.

But at least you made it clear before you invited traffic to their website.

I browse it to see what nonsense they’ve posted it. Think they’re absolutely vile!

But….that’s helping them out. Do you not understand page impressions and advertising revenue?

So you have decided to post the link here as well?

Christ! Why do so many Daily Mail readers insist on this silly excuse, like they think people believe it? 🙄

You're a Daily Mail reader, just own it. There are loads of them here, you're not exactly alone

CriminalOrator · 26/12/2021 15:29

Stop browsing them! Each click and share is raising their value! You’re basically advertising them and thus increasing the value of each portion of advertising space. Stop it.

I have nothing to own. I can’t stand DM. They piss me off greatly. Not sure why you feel the need to challenge me on that?

It was a pyrrhic victory to be sure.

She won, and I agree that newspapers shouldn't print private letters, but in the process she had to admit she had had input in to the book she'd denied she'd been involved in.

So it's hardly a victory. I'm embarrassed for her that she made that statement afterwards.

Most people who were exposed to have lied would keep their head down and skip the statement!

Because hardly a day goes by on MN where Daily Mail readers don't make ridiculous excuses for being Daily Mail readers.

You're a DM reader, it's not a big deal. The excuses however are just silly.
