PRESS

So the Courts have found in favour of Prince Harry. The Mirror Group accepts full guilt and apologise. £140000 damages awarded so far! Piers Morgan specifically named for illegal activities. Several people mentioned for giving false information whilst under oath to the Leveson Inquiry.

What next? Daily Mail is up in court in January and must be concerned! Murdoch papers have already paid out £1 million in costs and damages. Whilst all this is interesting what is of real concern is the low threshold the mainstream press have for the truth. Wikipedia will not accept the Daily Mail as a guarantee of truthful providence for a story!

Whilst the the press (the fourth estate) play an important part in the politics of this country, there seems to have been aa appalling lapse in standards. The public deserve to have a press free from lies and foreign manipulation. Perhaps we get the press that reflects our government? One where lying is ubiquitous and where facts can be changed (Rwanda can be deemed a safe country by changing the law) to suit.

Also of note is the relentless campaign that the press are running against Harry and Meghan, this confuses me as they do not seem to have done much, if anything wrong?
