Meghan, Harry, Biden and our rotten establishment media

 Did you catch Max Foster's excellent video segment about the Sussexes on CNN?

As @Royal Reporter Richard Palmer of the Daily Express wrote, "It's a break with much US television reporting on the subject." 

It certainly was. 

It used clips from the notorious Oprah interview beside basic fact-checking on Meghan's statements that she didn't know much about the Royal Family before her marriage, comparing them with quotes from her childhood friends about how she was fascinated by Princess Diana.

It paralleled Meg's complaint that she wasn't allowed to use her "voice" with video showing her speaking out about a number of issues during her time with the family..

It fact-checked her assertion that she married Prince Harry three days before their televised wedding, by showing the actual marriage certificate. 


Did you see it?

Max Foster  showed the actual 1917 letters patent from King George V to explain why Archie, a great-grandson of the monarch, was not automatically named a prince - something Meghan had attributed to racism. 

Finally, he contradicted Meghan's assertion that she wasn't given much training assistance on arrival by showing several of the palace team members who had been involved with helping her, including the Queen's confidante and dresser, Angela Kelly. 

The piece quoted a previous palace staffer as saying, "We bent over backwards for her."

Really, it was a great piece. Did you see it? 

Because CNN took it down within 12 hours of its initial broadcast, at least in Europe.



EDIT: Miggy found a way to access the video, which is "unlisted" on the CNN YouTube site and unavailable via the CNN homepage. Here is is


You can't handle the truth

It was probably no more than a coincidence that the video was removed within a few hours of the time US President Biden stumbled through his first live press conference.

Whatever you think of his politics, the poor man appeared to be overwhelmed and even frightened. He was given a "cheat sheet" of potential answers and even photos of the journalists he was supposed to call on. 

And yet the reviews of his performance from establishment journalists such as CNN were rhapsodic. 

"Americans who want a competent, coherent, focused President should feel reassured," wrote CNN analyst Frida Ghitis.

Both the delusional Biden reviews and the sudden disappearance of the Max Foster video suggest that someone at CNN doesn't think ordinary viewers can handle the truth - or even distinguish the truth from obvious falsehoods. 


It will stop

"If something can't go on forever, it will stop," said economist Herb Stein in the 1970s.

Pretending that uncomfortable things that are true aren't true is something that can't go on forever, whether it's deleting an accurate fact-checking video or covering up for a clearly weak and exhausted President. 

But how long can it go on?
