[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

JD Moehringer, the ghostwriter for “Spare,”  was chosen because of his troubled relationship with his father

Anderson Cooper was selected for his interview with Harry because he writes od being greatly affected by his brother’s suicide at a young age.

Dr Gabor Mate was selected for his intimate conversation with Harry because of his trauma caused by his mother leaving him as a baby with a relative so that he would not be killed in the Holocaust

Zeynep Tufecki was selected to write the NYT fluff piece because she was raised in poverty by a single mother who deserted her

The common theme is the trauma caused by families.

I suppose it is nice that Americans focus attention on someone of Harry’s sort

As for me, I awaiting  for the description of the damage caused to Harry’s family members, friends, and  employees whom he has trashed in the last four years. No need for Meghan to write about the harm done to her family.  Naming her daughter  after two white aristocratic women from families that she claimed oppressed her kinfolk rather than the many women in her black and white  family clearly means the  merchandising opportunities are more important than either her family or Harry’s family.

Sounds like you have your own trauma.  [/quote]

This was an analysis I read in Hello magazine.   I am not as clever as you in diagnosing someone from a comment made on an anonymous mommy forum.  [/quote]
