Harry looks happy.

According to news sources and YouTube (!!) he was not in his home, but on yet another trip, this time in Aspen, with Corey Gamble (of Kardashian fame).
Ah. Thanks for the clarification. I’ve never watched The Kardashians…had to Google him.
wrong thread!
This is an interesting development.
Some more news for those who are interested.
Who’s Will Lewis…and Rebekah Brooks? This is starting to feel like a Hollywood script. And here’s a link to the NPR article to which The Daily Beast refers.
Lastly, I vaguely remember reading about the following, but taken together with events occurring in real time it makes my head spin.
I don’t have the time or energy to wade through all of this but perhaps given time, it will get resolved. Good luck to Harry and the other litigants.

This is epitome of tabloid journalism. Harry is listed as someone known to Combs; there is no allegation of impropriety on Harry’s part.

Didn’t say there was. His name appears in the lawsuit. That’s factual. The article’s title said he is name dropped and he is.

I simply responded to your post. It was an indictment on the link, not your POV

@vpa2019 and anyone else who may be interested in the P Diddy story and Harry. I saw it this morning and was going to show how The Telegraph wrote its headline:
“Prince Harry named in Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs sexual assault lawsuit
Court papers name Duke of Sussex as example of well-known figures to whom defendants might have had access"
Then within the article this was written:
“The Duke is named just once in the lawsuit. It does not suggest he had knowledge of the allegations or was involved, but instead names him as an example of the type of well-known people to whom the defendants might have had access.
The Duke has only met Combs once, The Telegraph understands, and has never attended any of his parties or concerts.
In 2007, Prince Harry posed for photographs with Prince William, Combs and Kanye West after the two rappers had performed at the Concert for Diana at Wembley Stadium in London.”
Btw I had copied/pasted the above section here but got distracted and didn’t post/reply it.
What I found intriguing was as the day went on people on social media were calling out The Telegraph and other UK outlets.
- The phrases “name-dropped” and “dragged into” that appears in more recent articles were not in the original reporting. Originally it said “named in”.
- The pertinent information I cut and pasted where it clearly states Harry met P Diddy one time in 2007 after a benefit concert for Diana was placed behind a paywall sometime after I had read the article, so people could see the headline but the facts were hidden.
- The photo accompanying the misleading headline showed Harry with P Diddy. What I find objectionable is that the photo is cropped. William was not only also in attendance, he was clearly visible in the photo, only it was embedded in the paywalled article.
This is what I’ve referred to as media manipulation of a narrative. It makes one question the motive of the outlets.

Which describes 98% of the current media. For too many people, their only source of news and formed opinions are the salacious, misleading headlines and clickbait articles.

The article posted was from the New York Post. Here’s what media Bias says about them:
- Overall we rate the New York Post on the far end of Right-Center Biased due to story selection that typically favors the Right and Mixed (borderline questionable) for factual reporting based on several failed fact checks.
And:
“The New York Post is owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp, which owns many conservative/sensational media outlets worldwide.”

Here’s a far left site running the same story.
And Vanity Fair. It’s all over the internet.
When the name of a BRF member is the only one specifically included in a sex trafficking lawsuit it’s going to make the news.
You make a good argument against reading biased sources whether right or left, and a better argument for not posting/disseminating biased content.

Every news source is biased. This whole thread is full of biased opinions.
The news story isn’t biased. It’s factually stating that Harry is named in the sex trafficking lawsuit brought against P. Diddy. You can be upset that news sources are reporting it but it’s hardly biased or factually erroneous in its reporting. You can have an opinion about whether it’s newsworthy. And clearly you don’t think it is.

All bias isn’t equal. You can’t compare the NYT to the NY Post. Some publications hold themselves to a high standard of journalistic ethics, and some don’t. There are quality sources of information.
