PR disasters thread 18

Since I finished off the last one by accident here is a shiny new 999 posts which might last us until the end of the heatwave

She must be very seriously disturbed. Those kids will be having a hellish upbringing, unless there are other sensible caregivers in the mix.

That’s a very insightful article and bang on I would say.

It’s actually quite worrying how much Meghan dislikes Catherine .

Maureen Callaghan’s thoughts on the return

Certainly makes me think they are reading this thread.

Spot on

That article is very insightful. I thought the comment about leaving the royal family but then standing outside looking in through the window is spot on. Happy content people don’t behave like that.

It's the bit in the article about the "audience dwindling to zero" which really resonated with me

Yes, because of their ugly behaviour they're pretty good entertainment in a schadenfreude sort of way, but it's hard to believe there's anyone left - at least anyone with sense - who'd take a word they say on trust

Happy content people don’t behave like that

Edited to add that I've been saying the same for years, @JSMill
Those content and settled in their lives simply don't need to carry on like this, and the phrase about actions speaking louder than words exists for a reason

Maureen is spot on. As always. She had the bar of Markle from the beginning

Remember all the Sussex supporters who claimed that H and M had to flee for their lives ? How H and M were living their best lives in California? How they would be billionaires within a year ? Meghan considering running for President ? How the RF were lost without them ? Etc etc .
Would love to hear their thoughts now .

Weirdly, some people still think that's the case, and that they somehow took on the press and modernised the RF
Baffling..

Yes, like many posters have said it's absolutely spot on, I do like Maureen Callaghan lol, she always gets it right lol!

Very true.

Thanks for the link to this website - reading it now.

I would love £1 for every time Meghan has said something along the lines of “WHY did you give your mom’s ring to William ? It should have been mine H”.

How much would I be looking at?? 💰

We could probably all retire on the proceeds.

This always makes me laugh

Whoops, didn’t attach

🤣🤣🤣

That’s so funny

Yes, I've thought this for a long time.

The ring 🤣🤣

Hilarious!

I agree.

Moreover, it is not just the BBC. Media organisations have decided to place ideology ahead of factual reporting because, as another pp rightly said, they are focused chasing revenue. For example, the Guardian skews far left and GB news skews far right. The net result is a poorer world view as people argue over opinion and not fact.

People are entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts. By amplifying narratives over fact journalism has failed the public and this information degradation has a dire impact on our ability to function as a democracy as the public square is awash in nonsense. And that's before we get to how social media and AI bots are amplifying noise by purposely agitating people for clicks and engagement farming...anger for profit.

IMHO, a democracy cannot thrive with an ill-informed public.

“ my precious “ Meghan probably! 😁
