“ The Times newspaper has 74 pages of news content today. Of which, fully the first 9.5 pages are filled with ‘Royal family’-headed “news” and “analysis”.
Either I’m turning into an old man who shouts at the news generally, or this monofocus on the “issues” of two entitled, solipsistic and utterly irrelevant Californians is a curious and oddly awful development. On a day when much of the UK is on strike, Russia is mounting a new offensive in Ukraine, the boss of #twitter appears to have fully lost the plot, and nobody at all seems to be challenging Qatar, Iran or China on #humanrights or #diversity, the “issue” of disenfranchised ex-royals does not demand 13% of coverage, let alone the entire first 9 pages.
We allegedly get the media we deserve. What have we done to deserve this?”
Clown world in action
