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!

Newspaper 'SALES', that should read, not 'days'.

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.

You don’t actually know this do you? You don’t know them personally. So sick of people slagging off others on the internet just based on hearsay.

Really glad they won the case. The DM is a shit rag, and the timing of releasing this news is appalling.

Thank you! Sounded like one or those MN users who like to feel superior trying to argue silly points to make themselves look clever!

If you're talking about me, you'll be completely wrong.

It doesn't take an ounce of being clever to recognise that if you read the Daily Mail you're a Daily Mail reader. You may grasp at straws as to your reason for it but you're still happy to advertise and support them financially.

You're doing nothing to disprove the claims about stereotypical DM readers not thinking much I'm afraid.

I reckon about half of the Daily Mail’s readers are people ‘outraged’ at the things they publish. They couldn’t give a shit though.

Every click = ad revenue.

Their analytics show you clicking on them, where you click from, where you click to, whereabouts you live, how long you spend on their page. They’re not daft. In fact, the DM journalists I know are very bright.

They’re incredibly savvy about why people are there. But none of that matters - they’re one of the world’s most visited news sites and if you don’t like that, stop visiting!

What a nasty post. You know nothing about these people, other than what crap you decide to digest about them from the media.

@SilverRingahBells

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

Yep.

We don't have a free press for as long as the UK media sucks up to the Windsors
This doesn't make any sense at all. If you think the RF have the most influence on the MSM (and it's not the UK media since much of the media in the Uk is internationally owned and privacy cases affect all media not just the Daily Mail) then you are very much mistaken.
The largest users of court cases to silence the media are businesses, politicians and actors/musicians/celebrities.
I'm not a monarchist but it's wilfully misguided to think the RF are the main barrier to a free and open democratic press in the UK.

Typical DM tactics.... the one day they don't sell many newspapers or get so much in the way of clicks and they do a 2-liner on the bottom of the front page. Laughable.

And no I'm not a DM reader.... however, it's all over Twitter and good to see the DM got a bloody nose from this, I hope the costs are ginormous. Well done Meghan.

Great post @MarieIVanArkleStinks

@JingleBeth

Ok, this thread was clearly ill thought out. Wanted to highlight their attempts to hide the story, and instead I’ve made things better for them! Stupid moment! Would get it deleted but don’t think I can for the simple reason of it being a stupid thread!

In the nicest possible way, if you didn't know this would raise revenue, you might benefit from a general knowledge boost.

So many people say they hate the paper yet they read it.

I read it but I'm smart enough to ignore what I don't want to read and make my own kind up about various things. It's not difficult if you have a brain.

@WorraLiberty

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

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

I read the mail every day. Love it.

Someone asked for a screenshot.

This is very costly for the fail. Meghan's lawyers are asking for the profits they made on this story.
On top of that, the costs so far tally as follows ;

• a reported £3M in for first case
• presumably another £3M for the appeal
• payment for Meghan legal fees, we can equate and say another £6M
• they had to pay almost half a million at first case in damages.

So now, they have to pay damages and all the above. We are looking at at least £12M without the profits they made.

Lots of money to just try and trap someone into supposedly 'lying' about something that has nothing to do with the case. On top of that the judge tells you the witnesses you brought in actually helped her with cementing her win.

Since the Fail is all about profits, this has not been worth it one bit.

Not yet seen any UK newspaper go out of their way to feature a court ordered apology. Usually they are buried somewhere page nowhere in the printed version with no fanfare.

So a small item online sparsely worded shoved way down the scrolling order on the home page would be business as usual.

Usually no photos are printed with the formal apology, but an unflattering photo or article would be placed nearby - nothing that would directly show contempt but just a bit of #UpYours.

Oooer, that’s a first as far as I know- front page banner even if it is in grey & underneath a bigger Royal story. But then it is a print/online edition on Boxing Day & overshadowed by stories about the Drapers - no privacy issues there - & HMTQ.

All the same, her lawyers got her a good deal.
Same for KatieP.

Judge said it must also go online in main page for a week.
He determined the minimum font size and said, front page and inside as well.
Usually the best you can get is a very, very small correction on page 5 or something.
First time I see an apology on the cover.

I wonder how many people that previously didn’t like this attention seeking couple now really love them because of the Mail. Exactly, precisely 0 - probably. They are both as unlikeable as ever and anyone who thinks they have been vindicated by this is a little delusional. They would have to wind the clock right back to before they showed themselves to be publicity seeking, spoilt, fake entitled whinos to turn public opinion in their favour.

Your opinion and all you can post is to say that anyone who doesn't find them 'unlikeable' is delusional. Haha....
Your insults about them are tired, boring and unnecessary. Hope they make you happy in your hate though

Whinos lol... well, the wine in CA is pretty good!

For others it's about know your enemy

That's a lot of twisting just to satisfy yourself.

Yawn.

It's a good example of what washing your dirty linen in public can do.

Now, it's been exposed that she carefully drafted and intended the letter for publication, asking for input on what words or phrases would 'play better'.

She also had to admit that she and her husband both helped with the book that they had previously vehemently denied doing.

So, she won. It's not a brilliant victory and has exposed her and her husband as liars.

She might have been better advised, given that she knew these things might come out, to keep her mouth firmly shut. Better to be thought a liar than to be proved one.

She's a fool and so is her husband.

Champagne corks aren't really popping.

These people are strangers to you? Love that you are labelling others delusional! 😆

Why do MN allow so many personal attacks on Meghan and Harry that are made up? People on here don't know them, so the personal attacks are fantasies. And if anyone did the same about William and Kate they would be deleted and banned.

Because people see right through the phony second rate actress.
