[quote=Anonymous]Zeynep Tufekci wrote a piece in January about Harry’s book (and my apologies if this has already been posted). She eloquently proves the main point of Harry’s book: the royal family is in league with the tabloids and feeds them stories and lies in order to get clicks. I have not yet read Harry’s book so I don’t know if he makes the point that this trade off means that other negative stories about the royals (all of which, if you know the rumors, you know what I’m talking about) are kept out of the press.

Tufkeci is a professor at Columbia who makes the point that the organized press aggression against Harry and Meghan echoes other organized campaigns: for Brexit, the Obama birther story, etc. She, not a celebrity gossip hound, made the discovery in researching for this article that Meghan and Harry were ridiculously, relentlessly hounded. It may be in the comments but she talks about how many thousands of articles the British tabloid press wrote about Harry and Meghan after they had stepped away.

Anyway my takeaway is that she makes the point that our opinions are being managed in an organized campaign and many are swallowing the message without actual thought or consideration.
