Daily Fail and Duchess of Sussex

[JingleBeth]

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 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?

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.

Except I’m not…unless you count me looking at what nonsense they have and ranting about how much I can’t stand them to my husband.

Seriously, why are you so determined to claim I’m wrong and actually ignore what I’m saying?

I think Meghan (and Harry) came off much worse in that whole court case than they appear to realise.
I don't really care who won/lost what. It's all semantics and under-the-table deals, which bears little resemblance to what did/didn't happen . It doesn't change my opinion of the pair of them, which is pretty low these days, I'm afraid.
Next!

This was trending on Twitter yesterday. People know. I think the judgement is really quite terrifying when you think about it.

Yes, I do count that - who wouldn't?

You're reading the Daily Mail, therefore you are Daily Mail reader. Why is that so hard to understand?

Not only are you reading it, you're financially supporting it or do you think it's a free gift to the internet?

If she’d have lost, there would have been loads of posts about it. Posters wouldn’t have been able to contain themselves. Now she’s won, they don’t care, it never mattered etc. Hilarious.

Why on earth is it terrifying?

Honestly, never ever even considered that clicking on it financially supports them, as naive as that sounds. That really does change my perspective.

Who cares, actually very few

And let’s not forget she wrote the letter knowing it would be published

Basically shows millionaires can mislead court and get off scott free.

The letters were written to be leaked and pull at the heart strings. She was ok with her friends speaking to People. It just makes a total mockery of copyright law and sets a worrying precedent.

It is very much in the thread of 'one rule for us and another for them'. Much like Katie Price escaping a jail sentence because she could afford to go to private rehab.

We are living in an extremely unbalanced society and it's getting worse.

There is a poster on here who seems overly invested, calling people haters before they commented

Her winning the court case does not make her any less unpopular. She is publicity seeking embarrassment. The stuff she comes out with really is unbelievable. I wonder if she really believes her own made up hype. And as for the husband, the less said the betters Can someone please export the uncle to join these two in lala land.

I noticed it. I thought the court decided where notices must appear so I doubt the paper had much of a hand in its positioning.

Wow, two QCs and two juniors on each side plus expensive solicitors. The Mail's costs liability is going to be phenomenal. What a shame.

The court judgement dictates what form and prominence any apology or correction needs to take so you might want to save some anger for them if you think it’s not clear enough. Of course the DM will do the bare minimum it needs to do to comply.

Dreadful woman. All 'me, me, me'. Wants a private life my arse.

Haha. It’s the same as how no one at all voted Brexit. Or votes Tory. No one. Not one person. Not a single soul on this island nation. It’s a national sport among the ‘progressives’ to berate daily mail, yet they’re all reading it. No other paper gets quoted as much on this forum. Honestly it’s pathetic. If you read it, just say it. Why the pretence of being all liberal and progressive.

Remind me? Where did she say she wants a private life?

Go you!

For the record, I am a brown Muslim woman, and so I am someone often at the receiving end of its hate campaigns. I have nothing to pretend when it comes to the DM.

Yet mailonline is the most visited newspaper website. Honestly, don’t worry, they’ll be fine.

That's exactly it @sst1234

People can and should read whatever they choose. It's just the silly "But but but I'm not a Daily Mail reader. I'm alright it's all the others" mentality that's just silly.

If you have nothing to pretend, then perhaps stop pretending you're not a DM reader

Anyway I've made my point and I'll leave it now

I acknowledged it when I told you the context in which I read it? What are you on about now?

I can’t bear either Hazza - a weak little man - or Markle- a complete user of men to get where he wants to be- both hypocrites and whiny brats.

I find this a bit odd. It's all over Twitter and social media; and the case was already all over the news, social media etc, at the time. I can't imagine there is anyone who doesn't know the verdict. As for the paper putting it out on one of the least-read days - that's fairly common with apologies. They will always opt for low readership days, or make the apology tiny or hide it away if they can.
Giving them tonnes of free publicity and encouraging people to click, seems an odd way to 'criticise' them. The reason the media go to court is because they can't lose. Regardless of the verdict, they get lots of publicity and their rivals need to cover their story. By continuing to publicise this - you're feeding into the publicity and one of the reasons why they're happy to have cases like this.
It's as though a lot of people posting about this don't understand how the media works and some of them trying to blame the RF for M&H having this court case - don't understand how the law works either.
