When It Hits the Fan

So apparently it is totally fine for it to go completely unacknowledged that Simon Lewis’ brother, Will Lewis, current editor of the Washington Post, is heavily implicated in Prince Harry’s lawsuit against the Sun, having worked for Murdoch for over a decade after the scandal came to light. That would have noooo bearing on his analysis of Prince Harry’s apparently foolish war with the media, correct? Nope, nothing to see here. Silly, Prince Harry. David is the only one saying anything worth listening to on this podcast, but this also reflects poorly on him and the BBC. Is there any shred of media integrity left anywhere in the UK? Acknowledging a potential bias, even if it is to dispel it, should be the foundation of critical analysis. Without it, the conclusions make themselves. PR 101, I guess. But what do I know.

Fact is the UK Royal Family needs America. And boy the wool cannot be pulled over our eyes again, the UK media is a joke. They are client “journalists” or “PR” for the monarchy. But they crossed the line trying to guilt trip the world because Will &Kate are lousy at their jobs. The gaslighting is INSANE!!! There is something very disturbing about how Harry and Meghan are treated in the press. The UK press and the royal family are sadistic. Thank goodness Harry escaped that salty island.

It can be fascinating sometimes and a bit superficial other episodes. Love the concept but would like to hear more from Simon and a bit less from David

They're struggling to find anything ethical in PR. Let me recommend : Bowen, S. A. (2007). Ethics and public relations. Institute for Public Relations Gainesville, FL. So let’s see. Greta Thunberg does good without a penny of PR. Facebook does bad paying millions for PR. Mmm, what should we conclude? 🤔
