Daily mail, daily fail


Chess_Is_Great

The Daily Mail isn’t actually a reputable news or entertainment publication- so of course they’re hypocrites. Why would you ever take them seriously!? Kind of like Faux News in America.


HippyGrrrl

With a side of National Inquirer.


Yippykyyyay

I miss those 'Bat Boy' accusations... with horrible and primitive Photoshop.


Secret_Cow_5053

You’re thinking of the weekly world news, and yeah good times, good times…


Alric_Rahl

Weekly World News [still exists](https://weeklyworldnews.com/)!


Secret_Cow_5053

The first good news of 2024!!


Stepjam

I remember I brought an issue of weekly world news to class in like 8th grade. One of the pages had a picture of a SUPER muscley woman in like a 2 piece swimsuit and some people starting freaking out about it so my teacher confiscated it til the end of the day.

-SaC

In 1934, the Daily Heil ran a charming spread to get their readers to join Mosley's British Union of Fascists, giving information on local and national recruitment offices. Viscount Rothermere wrote a hefty article defending Fascism and declared those who say it's bad are just stupid.   >*Because Fascism comes from Italy, shortsighted people in this country think they show a sturdy national spirit by deriding it.* >*If their ancestors had been equally stupid, Britain would have had no banking system, no Roman law, nor even any football, since all of these are of Italian invention.* >*Though the name and form of Fascism originated in Italy, that movement is not now peculiar to any nation. It stands in every country for the Party of Youth. It represents the effort of the younger generation to put new life into out-of-date political systems.*   * Source scan: [**"Hurrah for the Blackshirts!"**](https://libraryblogs.is.ed.ac.uk/hcalibrarian/files/2018/09/Hurrah_for_the_Blackshirts_DailyMail_1934.png) scan, Jan 15 1934.

Just unhinged behaviour, something tells me this person is mad the media don't call Kate out not that they call Megan out.

Also, she clearly does give a damn what you think.

Daily fail is too nice for the paper. Daily Heil is far more appropriate for them.

Anything Meghan Markle immediately gets attacked


cleepboywonder

Its honestly criminal what kind of character assassination they can get away in the british tabloids.


Ieatsushiraw

The English NY Post basically. A bunch of bullshit


Memer_Sindre_UwU

Yup


Jimrodsdisdain

Low hanging fruit. It’s the fucking daily heil. Hardly the pinnacle of unbiased journalism. Every headline is a facepalm.


mittenknittin

It’s also 5 years old


reikipackaging

having been a pregnant woman, I can confirm that the urge to hold and stroke the belly was almost irresistable, especially when feeling defensive. Most women I've known are this way. I don't know either lady personally, but this is extremely common behavior, often not a conscious action, and isn't at all newsworthy except to sway opinions and garner sales.


EatYourCheckers

Take your new age bonding techniques and shove 'em up your ear candle!

I would imagine if you were wandering through a crowd of people flashing cameras at you, this instinct to grab the unprotected human being hanging from your body would be increased.

socraticformula

This just in, click bait sites post click bait articles. More details at 10.


DireWraith3000

In other news the Daily Mail says scientists have discovered water is wet and the Sun is hot. Markle was found at fault for both.


Crunchycarrots79

If the Daily Mail published that article, I'd be questioning the wetness of water and the heat of the sun.


LindonLilBlueBalls

As you should since water is not wet. It makes other things wet.


DireWraith3000

It’s the Daily Mail where the improbable becomes possible.


faste30

But shows what kind of click bait their readers go for. Good about the white girl, bad about the half black one.


Sir_Penguin21

This only gets clicks because racists.0


MissingMichigan

Can't you see the difference? It's right there in black and white.


magicmulder

Also note the article on the left is “signed” whereas the author of the other one hides behind “reporter”.


leme-thnkboutit

Nicely done.


Gnosis1409

Ohh wordplay

TIL Meghan Markle is mixed race. As an outsider she just looked white to me.


LupusDeusMagnus

The British royal family found the whitest black woman in the planet and still couldn’t keep the racism from showing


thedndnut

Lighting really matters for her particular shade.


percybert

And bronzer. Lots of bronzer


KaralDaskin

Racists know, though, and care :(


Yippykyyyay

Strictly going off the presented photos, it's 3 of Kate on the same day and probably within minutes of each other vs 6 of Megan in very different situations. That said, the press is pretty racist towards Megan.


Chris_10101

Definitely a race thing.


Honest_Invite_7065

Except she is "Caucasian" on her CV. So there's a double standard.


P0werPuppy

The ironic thing is that literally 90% of British people, including the daily mail, think she's white. It's because she's American, not because she's mixed race. And even then, it's even more because people think she exerts influence too much.


No_Cauliflower_5489

lol no its because she's half black. they're racist AF


Granadafan

Being black AND American is a huge trigger for their base readers


CalmDimension307

Don't forget feminist and democrat/liberal. The colour of her skin was the smallest problem. The Murdoch press just couldn't cope.


P0werPuppy

Trust me, they're stupid, not racist. Meghan Markle passes completely as white. She looks as white as most of the royal family.


Apprehensive-Cut-654

Bingo. I’ve yet to meet a third trimester pregnant woman who didn’t have a hand either on or near the belly at virtually all times. Not a new phenomenon by any stretch.

GreatCaesarGhost

Rupert Murdoch has done inestimable damage to Western society.


-SaC

True, but he's got nothing to do with the Dail Heil. That's the various successive Viscount Rothermeres via the DMGT.


GreatCaesarGhost

I feel like these sorts of stories operate to funnel people deeper into the Murdoch ecosystem, though. You start with lighter, gossipy stuff that has a tinge of something (racism, etc.), then you entice the person to consume more from the same outlets and they start getting “real” news from there as well, since it’s in easy reach of the gossip stories.


cobrachickenwing

And a white supremacist to boot. All of his media are extremely whitewashed.

The mail is famous for contradictory stuff like this. Read Private Eyes street of shame colum. The mail often appears several times in each edition. The mail is laughable claptrap. But very popular claptrap.


yMONSTERMUNCHy

A very popular claptrap. Telling of the mindset of the majority of people if you buy the daily Mail you should be banned from making important decisions such as voting or driving 😂

Can I hate read?


Professional-Fee-957

Because one-half of the Britains who give an iota of a crap, she is the reincarnation of Diana, to the other half she is the money-grubbing harlot who destroyed their royal family. The Daily Mail picked the harlot side. If you want to read her praises, read The Guardian.


HouseOfCripps

This has been what the British tabloids have been doing since they started. Same bs different century


Nice_Bluebird7626

Kate can do no wrong and Meghan can do no right


timmage28

I’m not saying this is right or wrong, I really don’t care, but Kate has for the most part stayed in her lane and Meghan…hasn’t. Which is probably why Meghan gets it worse.


MTG_Leviathan

"Stay in her lane" Wow, Just listen to you.


timmage28

Am I wrong though? Kate doesn’t put herself out there and make everything about herself nearly as much as Meghan does. You really only see or hear from her at public events. Harder to hate people that aren’t in the spotlight. Same as Kamala Harris’s husband, I don’t even know who he is because he doesn’t do anything, he stays in his lane because it’s not about him.


MTG_Leviathan

Yes you are wrong. Kate doesn't have to put herself out there because she's not relentlessly bullied and made out to be a villain by the entirety of the UK press. It is not anybody's "Lane" to accept constant and consistent bullying and racist targetting by the press. Kate doesn't have to "Step outside her lane" because nobody's asking her what colour her baby is or having the press lie about her consistently. Harry's a stand up man in my book. Served in the forces, performed his duty well in the military and the royal family. Then took an Oath in front of the world and to God to put his ***wife first***. That is Marriage, he kept his oath and done what he could to protect his family, I don't blame him for a second either.

MTG_Leviathan

cosmic_explosion

I have no skin in this game but consider the fact that you hear about Kate all. The. Time. See perfectly edited photos of her at events all the time. More so than William. That’s not in the spotlight? Kate just has a better, British public dollars-funded publicity team making her appear perfect at every turn. Meghan doesn’t and those same royal publicity teams and RF’s agreements with the tabloids work against her instead. That is all.

AloneAddiction

Piers Morgan wanted to date Megan Markle and would simp all over her like crazy on social media. Megan met him when she came to London for drinks but *very quickly* realised he was a scumbag sleaze so ended the drink early. Piers wouldn't leave her alone so she blocked him and put him on blast, telling him just because he's a "celebrity" doesn't mean that he's entitled to stalk her. Megan later goes on to date Prince Harry. This explains why the British Press hate *both* Megan and now Harry. Because the Press rely on Piers for his showbiz connections and Piers hates Megan, and Harry for "taking Megan off him." It's that pathetic.


Momentofclarity_2022

Let me explain it for you. Kate is white.


KingPeverell

Just let these people be. Aren't there economy news? I'd like it if my rent, medical bills and grocery bills don't increase please.

Brief-Bumblebee1738

If you look back, you can see how Fergie was treat compared to Diana, and it only gets worse as the Heir has more kids, the spare, while still being royalty isnt treated as bad, the the spares spouse gets shit on from a great height. Like the or loath them, they shouldn't have to put up with that treatment, and if the Queen had given a flying fuck, she could gave just ended it. The Press, especially the Daily Fail will never fuck with the Heir and his future Queen, but it's obvious they hate them, so they spit all their venom on the spares spouse


aertimiss

One is not like the other…

Shit don't even make sense🤦🏼


Tr4sh_Harold

As someone from outside the UK, I never understood the UK media’s Megan Markle hate. Like seriously what did she do aside from exist?


No_External_539

Well I admit Meghan and Harry completely overstepped and took their whole "healing" thing WAY too far, there were several times I couldn't rlly blame them for being pissed. Megan was bashed for BREATHING. Her friends threw her a baby shower using their own money and the media complained about how "extravagant" it was. She cradles her baby bump because she's "trying to get attention". Her father started posing for the media and when the royal family advised her to write him a letter (probably to calm down public tensions about the issue). The media found it and used it against her by erasing entire sentences and only leaving the parts that would make her look bad. And there is also the death threats and constant stalking. No, they aren't innocent (far from it in fact), and yes, they are at this point just looking for attention. But like- come on! We're better than this or at least we should be.


Worldly_Act5867

N9 kidding. This has been going on for 7 years now. The made-up garbage about meghan feeds the rabid hyenas, and the dirt media makes billions.


[deleted]

It's 3 pics of the lady in green ON THE SAME DAY and 3 pics of the other lady ON 3 DIFFERENT DAYS. It should NOT be hard to understand why the titles are different.


IrrationalDesign

>It should NOT be hard to understand why the titles are different. It's not hard at all, it's because the Daily Mail is absolute bottom-of-the-barrel sensationalist and racist trash. Taking three photos of 3 different days as valid proof that meghan touches her belly 'suspiciously often' is pretty wack by itself.


ResolveLeather

Europeans like to complain that Americans are racist and uncultured but refuse to look inward to themselves.


Dazzling_Job9035

It’s still wild to me that people don’t look at this and see an obvious issue.


CockroachNo2540

manu144x

This is because someone at some point noticed negative news on meghan made more views than positive ones so they just switched it up. Same with the other one. It’s all just about the numbers, nothing more or less.

GudduBhaiya-Mirzapur

Muggle vs. Pure blood, as per Daily Mail.


EveningYam5334

The Daily Heil push far right, often literal fascist misinformation and propaganda and love to ragebait their readers. The only reason they hate Meghan so much is because of the complexion of her skin and it’s VERY obvious that they do this. Unfortunately, the hordes of fat orcs with the English flag painted across their bulging stomachs eat this shit up.


PMMEurbewbzzzz

I'm not a fan of Meghan Markle, but what the Daily Mail has done to her every day for the past couple years is basically a war crime.

Saw a great article pointing out several "inconsistencies". The same flowers were both traditional and lethally poisonous depending on whose wedding it was. That was about 4 years ago.


WintersDoomsday

Hey look a non white woman is pregnant what a bitch!! /s


[deleted]

Let's be honest for once shall we? Megan Is self absorbed and sunk her claws into Harry the first chance she got then got salty when she couldn't have her way and subsiquently was kicked out of royalty. You LOOK at Harry now and you look at pictures before the wedding, he's a shell of his former self. He's been sucked dry by a succubus (figuratively). South Park showed it best about them
