We have no sympathy for Kate after how Meghan was treated by the British Press.

Excellent and sensitive commentary

Update 3/29/2024: Jack continues to biased trash. Devoting time to talk about the legal fees that Prince Harry may have to pay and how the average person will never see that amount of money… Jack should be more concerned about the several royals that he and the British taxpayers regularly fund. You can hear the glee in Jack’s voice. It’s a shame, honestly. Unsubscribing. Update 3/20/2024: Jack continues to be trash. Original: The April 27, 2023 episode was my first time listening and I was pretty disappointed because I felt like Jack spoke in intentional ways that seemed manipulative. He would often set up a story and then allow Kristen to comment on it in a human way, and when she asked him what he thought about the situation, he didn’t answer the question. It seems like an attempt to keep his hands clean, and let her do the dirty work or have an opinion. On top of that, he seemed to “both sides” things a little too much; for instance, when he spoke about Meghan Markle‘s father and the way he was bad-mouthing her and Harry that week, and Jack said, “if Thomas Markle can be called a bad dad, then Meghan should be able to be called a bad mom.” And that struck me as a very snakelike thing for Jack to say because those two humans and their parenting styles are nothing alike, yet Jack went out of his way to make room for the plausibility that Thomas could be right. Which lets me know that Jack doesn’t have impartiality in this; he’s just going out of his way to not seem like a Sussex fan, and I think that it is easily possible to remain impartial *without* making space for nonsense… and it deeply seemed like Jack was making space for nonsense. I deeply suggest that Jack rethink his strategy in reporting about all members of the royal family, because he doesn’t seem impartial; he comes across as manipulative and like he believes that people who’ve said and done truly repugnant things… deserve defense in some way. As they pointed out in a recent episode, Thomas a Markle has now made a YouTube channel (and career) out of bashing his daughter… yet Jack can find some way to make sure he doesn’t say anything critical about him. Facts are facts: Thomas is literally just spewing hate like a faucet. In the episodes I’ve heard, Jack is going out of his way to 1) show grace to repugnant people who are literally defaming people, 2) leave his cohost out to dry by either not answering her when she asks what he thinks or slyly steering the subject in a different way, and 3) being so fearful of looking like a Sussex apologist that he views situations more coldly BECAUSE it’s happening to the Sussexes, which if any number of these things were happening to someone else, he would likely find it very easy to see why it’s reprehensible. Disappointed.
