19 Jan 2023 – <\/em>If we were to choose a hill to die on, it would probably not be in defence of a British prince.<\/p>\n

In truth, we don\u2019t need to like or support \u2013 and may even abhor \u2013 the targets of media bias highlighted in our analyses. Our goal is simply to provide examples that most clearly expose the propaganda function of \u2018mainstream\u2019 media. Inevitably, that involves our focusing on thorns in the Establishment\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

It should be no surprise that there is actually much that divides us from, say, the fiercely patriotic and pro-war (as opposed to pacifistic) former US Marine and weapons inspector Scott Ritter; from Guardian-partnering celebrity guru and Hollywood actor Russell Brand; from classic, tongue-biting Labour Party state executive Jeremy Corbyn.<\/p>\n

And if we have deep problems with the modern state as such \u2013 with its toxic mix of militant nationalism, fake religion and climate-trashing industrial \u2018growth\u2019 \u2013 what to say of states run as authoritarian, militarised oligarchies by the likes of Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, Vladimir Putin and other Official Enemies of the West?<\/p>\n

We rarely emphasise our visceral opposition to these systems of power, not because we are \u2018quislings\u2019 or \u2018apologists\u2019 \u2013 or because \u2018my enemy\u2019s enemy is my friend\u2019 \u2013 but because doing so feeds propaganda enabling the far more lethal<\/em> militarised oligarchy that is the imperial United States. As Noam Chomsky observed:<\/p>\n

\u2018So when American dissidents criticize the atrocities of some enemy state like Cuba or Vietnam, it\u2019s no secret what the effects of that criticism are going to be: it\u2019s not going to have any effect whatsoever on the Cuban regime, for example, but certainly will help the torturers in Washington and Miami to keep inflicting their campaign of suffering on the Cuban population [i.e. through the US-led embargo]. Well, that is something I do not think a moral person would want to contribute to.\u2019 (Noam Chomsky, Understanding Power, New Press, 2002, pp.287-88)<\/p>\n

Our personal feelings about the examples we cite are irrelevant to the case we are making for the bias of the state-corporate Medium<\/a>. So when our critics insist it is absurd for us to \u2018defend\u2019 Harry, or \u2018apologism\u2019 for us to expose media bias on Putin, the criticism is irrelevant at best and, in the case of Putin, an exact reversal of the truth.<\/p>\n

While the question of royalty might seem trivial, the vast extent of press coverage indicates that this is not<\/em> the view of established power.<\/p>\n

Royalty is not<\/em> just about tourism and distracting the public; it is the issue where nationalism, class control, inequality, militarism, organised religious fakery and biocidal corporate profit-maximising meet. Church, state, military, media, business and royalty are all mutually-supportive. It is revealing to see how these centres of power spring to each other\u2019s defence against perceived threats.<\/p>\n

Whatever we think of the Harry and Meghan Markle saga, it matters when the son of the current king and the brother of the future king writes in his new book, \u2018Spare\u2019:<\/p>\n

\u2018Does the Crown generate tourism income that benefits all? Of course. Does it also rest upon lands obtained and secured when the system was unjust and wealth was generated by exploited workers and thuggery, annexation and enslaved people? Can anyone deny it?\u2019 (Harry, \u2018Spare\u2019, Penguin, e-book version, 2023, p.322)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Harry\u2019s book arguably merits some<\/em> attention, if only for his comments on the war in Afghanistan in which he was a combatant:<\/p>\n

\u2018Some commanders often said, publicly and privately, that they feared every Taliban killed would create three more, so they were extra cautious. At times we felt the commanders were right: we were<\/em> creating more Taliban.\u2019 (p.183)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He added:<\/p>\n

\u2018Afghanistan was a war of mistakes, a war of enormous collateral damage \u2013 thousands of innocents killed and maimed, and that always haunted us.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is a significant confession from a member of the UK\u2019s 3 Regiment Army Air Corp who is also fifth in the line of succession to the British throne.<\/p>\n

The British press made great play of Harry\u2019s confessed tally of \u2018enemy combatants\u2019 killed. He wrote:<\/p>\n

\u2018So, my number: Twenty-five. It wasn\u2019t a number that gave me any satisfaction. But neither was it a number that made me feel ashamed. Naturally, I\u2019d have preferred not to have that number on my military CV, on my mind, but by the same token I\u2019d have preferred to live in a world in which there was no Taliban, a world without war.\u2019 (p.184)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In reporting<\/a> this, the BBC brazenly reversed the truth of Harry\u2019s intended meaning:<\/p>\n

\u2018In his memoir, the Duke of Sussex describes killing 25 Taliban fighters in Afghanistan as \u201cchess pieces taken off the board\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u2018Ex-colonel Tim Collins said that was \u201cnot how you behave in the army\u201d.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In what must be a first, the BBC actually cited the Taliban in support of its smear:<\/p>\n

\u2018Responding to the prince\u2019s comments, a senior Taliban leader Anas Haqqani tweeted: \u201cMr Harry! The ones you killed were not chess pieces, they were humans; they had families who were waiting for their return\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2018\u201cI don\u2019t expect that the (International Criminal Court) will summon you or the human rights activists will condemn you, because they are deaf and blind for you.\u201d\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The BBC cited Collins again:<\/p>\n

\u2018He has badly let the side down. We don\u2019t do notches on the rifle butt. We never did.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In fact, on the same page that he revealed he had killed 25 people in Afghanistan, Harry wrote:<\/p>\n

\u2018So my goal from the day I arrived was never to go to bed doubting that I\u2019d done the right thing, that my targets had been correct, that I was firing on Taliban and only Taliban, no civilians nearby. I wanted to return to Britain with all my limbs, but more, I wanted to go home with my conscience intact. Which meant being aware of what I was doing, and why I was doing it, at all times.\u2019 (p.184)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Harry emphasised that he had been trained to dehumanise enemy fighters as \u2018chess pieces\u2019 precisely because<\/em> it would otherwise have been impossible for him to kill people viewed as ordinary human beings. In other words, whatever we think of Harry and his ugly role in this catastrophic war, these are not the words of someone who is coldly bragging about collecting victims as \u2018notches on the rifle butt\u2019. Significantly, the death toll is the only aspect of Harry\u2019s discussion of Afghanistan that we have seen discussed in reviews and commentary.<\/p>\n

To his credit, Harry pours scorn on \u2018media barons\u2019, primarily Murdoch, but also \u2018the impossibly Dickensian-sounding Jonathan Harmsworth, 4th<\/sup> Viscount Rothermere\u2019, controlling shareholder of the Daily Mail and General Trust, a media conglomerate that includes the Daily Mail. Harry writes:<\/p>\n

\u2018It was around this time that I began to think Murdoch was evil. No, strike that. I began to know that he was. First-hand. Once you\u2019ve been chased by someone\u2019s henchmen through the streets of a busy modern city you lose all doubt about where they stand on the Great Moral Continuum. All my life I\u2019d heard jokes about the links between royal misbehaviour and centuries of inbreeding, but it was then that I realised: Lack of genetic diversity was nothing compared to press gaslighting. Marrying your cousin is far less dicey than becoming a profit centre for Murdoch Inc.<\/p>\n

\u2018Of course I didn\u2019t care for Murdoch\u2019s politics, which were just to the right of the Taliban\u2019s. And I didn\u2019t like the harm he did each and every day to Truth, his wanton desecration of objective facts. Indeed, I couldn\u2019t think of a single human being in the 300,000-year history of the species who\u2019d done more damage to our collective sense of reality.\u2019 (p.169)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Harry excoriates \u2018the ravages and depredations of the press\u2019 (p.201):<\/p>\n

\u2018For generations Britons had said with a wry laugh: Ah, well, of course our newspapers are shit \u2013 but what can you do?\u2019 (p.143)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This isn\u2019t Noam Chomsky, or even Owen Jones, but these are<\/em> meaningful comments reaching a mass audience from a high-profile figure. If nothing else, they provide well-intentioned reporters and journalists with an excuse for highlighting these crucial issues. Alas, as we will see, such journalism is in short supply.<\/p>\n

Propaganda doesn\u2019t do nuance. It must be delivered with complete certainty and high moral outrage. Thus, on his Talk TV show, Piers Morgan said<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u2018There\u2019s one thing to do with this book. Rather than buy it and feather his greedy little nest, do what I\u2019m gonna do now \u2013 take \u201cSpare\u201d and chuck it where it belongs, in the bin.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Whereupon Morgan threw the book into a bin.<\/p>\n

Harry has been branded<\/a> a \u2018traitor\u2019. From the moral high ground, Daily Mail consultant editor, Andrew Pierce, opined:<\/p>\n

\u2018Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus Christ for thirty pieces of silver. This bloke has betrayed the Queen, his brother, his father, the future Queen Consort, for tens<\/em> of millions of pounds. It\u2019s all about money. His sense of entitlement is staggering<\/em>.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Happily, the Daily Mail has no grubby financial motive for endlessly covering Harry\u2019s story; as is true of its reporting, commentary and \u2018sidebar of shame<\/a>\u2019 more generally.<\/p>\n

Times columnist Giles Coren, whose career has doubtless not benefited from the fact that his father was the much-loved journalist, humourist and BBC TV personality, Alan Coren, commented:<\/p>\n

\u2018Harry is a very, very stupid man. A man with a barely functioning IQ in the sort of middle 90s, who in real life wouldn\u2019t be able to get a job, or to have a family, or do anything.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Also projecting freely, Nigel Farage, GB News presenter and founder of the Brexit Party, raged:<\/p>\n

\u2018It is ghastly at every level. Can you imagine trashing your own family, trashing your own country, trashing the commonwealth, trashing your grandmother\u2019s legacy\u2026 and doing it all for money? I think the whole thing, frankly, is despicable.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Businessman and \u2018activist\u2019 Adam Brooks lightened the mood:<\/p>\n

\u2018[Harry\u2019s] a whingeing, woke, cry-baby\u2026 I actually \u2013 it\u2019s quite a strong word \u2013 but I think I hate, I hate<\/em> Harry for what he\u2019s doing to the UK.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Journalist A.N. Wilson even played the Hitler Card:<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m not suggesting he\u2019s as bad as Hitler, but it is like reading Mein Kampf, in that Hitler thinks he\u2019s a hero and you put the book down with absolute disgust. And you do put this book down with total disgust.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

BBC viewers will recall how Jennie Bond worked as the BBC\u2019s cautious and deferential royal correspondent for 14 years. In response to Harry\u2019s book, we saw a different Bond:<\/p>\n

\u2018Do you know, can we maybe<\/em> think that his brain is so addled by, well, by the trauma of his life \u2013 because he is<\/em> traumatised \u2013 um, and by the many, many drugs he\u2019s taken?\u2019<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When Female \u2018Left-Liberal\u2019 Columnists Attack<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is no surprise that the female columnists of the liberal press were lined up to pour scorn on this male target of Establishment ire, much as they had been lined up to pour scorn on Julian Assange, Jeremy Corbyn, Russell Brand and others.<\/p>\n

In the Observer, Rachel Cooke declared<\/a> herself bewildered by \u2018a book that must rank as one of the most bizarre I\u2019ve ever read\u2019. It was the product of \u2018A myopic, self-obsessed, non-empathic kind of person\u2019.<\/p>\n

With sexual ridicule to the fore, Cooke mocked Harry\u2019s mention of his \u2018todger\u2019, his \u2018thing\u2019, and how he revealed he had once \u2018peed his pants\u2019. Cooke indicated that Harry had certainly failed the Observer test on \u2018feminism\u2019.<\/p>\n

In the Guardian, Marina Hyde also focused <\/a>on the \u2018circumcision\/frostbitten penis status of princes that might as well have been subheaded It\u2019s A Royal Cockout\u2019.<\/p>\n

Hyde at least managed to mention Afghanistan:<\/p>\n

\u2018during the conflict in Afghanistan he killed 25 Taliban fighters out of his $50m helicopter, a form of warfare which even the most committed Taliban-loathers among us always had to admit was a bit asymmetric\u2019.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This was a typically callous reference from Hyde to the barely comprehensible carnage inflicted by the West on Afghanistan for two decades. Would we describe the atomic bombing of Hiroshima as \u2018a bit asymmetric\u2019? How about the Nazis\u2019 crushing of the Warsaw ghetto? Hyde added:<\/p>\n

\u2018Then again, the Taliban won in the end\u2026\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Again, an ugly, flippant comment. Can anyone<\/em> in Afghanistan be said to have \u2018won\u2019 at the end of the West\u2019s devastating invasion and occupation?<\/p>\n

In the Independent, Lucy Pavia also commented<\/a> repeatedly on \u2018todgers\u2019, on how Harry\u2019s description of the state of \u2018his frostbitten penis after a trip to the North Pole culminates in an odd admission that he covered it in Elizabeth Arden and thought of his mother, who once used the cream\u2019. Perhaps it is the implied interpretation that is \u2018odd\u2019.<\/p>\n

From the comfort of her corporate office chair, Pavia wrote:<\/p>\n

\u2018Passages about army exploits and travels to Africa are worthy but a little bloated.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Clearly not \u2018worthy\u2019 enough for Pavia to make any mention of Harry\u2019s comments on the war in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

Supposedly further to the right on the media \u2018spectrum\u2019, former long-time Guardian columnist, Hadley Freeman, now writing for The Times, dismissed<\/a> this \u2018strange, petty, self-inflicted seeping wound of a book\u2019, an effort that is \u2018like so much in Harry\u2019s self-centred but utterly unself-aware life\u2019. Ironic comments from someone who contributed to some of the Guardian\u2019s worst propaganda excesses, and who has ascended even higher up the selfless, self-aware moral stairway to become, as Harry might say, \u2018a profit centre for Murdoch Inc\u2019.<\/p>\n

The book, said Freeman, is \u2018comic and pathetic. Hamlet was the aspiration, the Fool is, heartbreakingly, the result\u2019.<\/p>\n

Yet again, sexual ridicule was a theme: \u2018Spare\u2019 has earned Harry \u2018general mockery, headlines about dead Afghans and his frostbitten penis\u2019. Freeman noted that the book resolves the issue of \u2018whether Harry and his brother are circumcised\u2019; she wonders out loud to Harry whether he\u2019s aware the book \u2018makes you sound a bit of a tosser.\u2019<\/p>\n

If these commentators struggled to find ammunition to fully humiliate their subject, it is for the reason described by Anita Singh in her rather more balanced review <\/a>in the right-wing Telegraph. Writing like a normal human being, rather than a hater, Singh noted of Harry:<\/p>\n

\u2018His ghostwriter, JR Moehringer, has done a very good job here of making his subject seem like the sane one in the story\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2018Spare is well-constructed and fluently written. Harry would be the first to admit that Moehringer has done the hard graft here, and perhaps deployed some artistic licence.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Indeed, Moehringer was the writer behind Andre Agassi\u2019s stunning autobiography, \u2018Open\u2019, so this should be no surprise. Harry, then, at least deserves credit for choosing a ghostwriter with the talent to make his book more difficult to smear than it might otherwise have been.<\/p>\n

Do You Love The Limelight?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inevitably, Harry has been diagnosed as suffering from \u2018narcissism\u2019. In the Express, Leo McKinstry commented<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u2018But his descent into American psychobabble has patently only fed his jealousy, rage, egomania and sense of grievance. Rather than making him more balanced, therapy appears to have been a catalyst for his rampant narcissism.\u2019<\/p>\n

Alexander Larman, the books editor for Spectator World, wrote <\/a>of:<\/p>\n

\u2018The unbelievable narcissism of Harry and Meghan\u2019s Netflix documentary\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Before Christmas, amid ongoing rail strikes, renowned therapist Piers Morgan sensed<\/a> that Mick Lynch, general secretary of the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers, was afflicted by the same disorder:<\/p>\n

\u2018Mick \u201cThe Grinch\u201d Lynch is beginning to believe his own over-hyped bullish*t. Loves being a media star, so has zero incentive to resolve the strikes as that would deprive him of the TV oxygen he craves.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The BBC featured two near-identical headlines on its home page on the same day. The first:<\/p>\n

\u2018The union firebrand accused of stealing Christmas\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The second, with a different picture:<\/p>\n

\u2018The firebrand accused of stealing Christmas\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Matt Frei of Channel 4 News asked <\/a>Lynch: \u2018Do you love the limelight?\u2019<\/p>\n

Lynch replied:<\/p>\n

\u2018No, I\u2019ve been put here by circumstances, not by my own choice\u2026 I just want to get on with my job and carry on running our union.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We asked<\/a> Frei:<\/p>\n

\u2018Do *you* love the limelight, @mattfrei? You\u2019ve been hogging it for decades. You look very comfortable; you must enjoy these moments. Are you indulging your craving for attention?\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Frei ignored us, of course.<\/p>\n

To his credit, Lynch has done a tremendous job of neutralising media smears by exposing the journalists\u2019 tactics in real time to viewers. (See here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

In 2019, the Daily Mail devoted four pages to Julian Assange, reporting<\/a> the \u2018downfall of a narcissist\u2019 who had been removed from \u2018inside his fetid lair\u2019 to finally \u2018face justice\u2019.<\/p>\n

Even when arguing against <\/em>Assange\u2019s extradition to the US, former BBC political presenter Andrew Neil wrote<\/a> in the Daily Mail last June:<\/p>\n

\u2018Assange is no crusader in shining armour. He is reckless, cavalier with people\u2019s lives, narcissistic, a \u201csexual predator\u201d. Careless of his personal hygiene, he is often his own worst enemy. He lets down his friends and repels his allies.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If we pay attention, we\u2019ll find that establishment enemies are smeared in essentially the same way. Thus, in the Sunday Times, Katie Glass described patently harmless hippy, Russell Brand, as \u2018an exhibitionistic narcissist obsessed with celebrity\u2019. (Katie Glass, \u2018The ultimate Marmite Brand,\u2019 Sunday Times, 22 September 2013)<\/p>\n

Thus, in The New Yorker, Jeffrey Toobin condemned<\/a> courageous whistle-blower Edward Snowden as \u2018a grandiose narcissist who deserves to be in prison\u2019. Bob Schieffer of CBS commented:<\/p>\n

\u2018I think what we have in Edward Snowden is just a narcissistic young man who has decided he is smarter than the rest of us.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Glenn Greenwald who, unlike most of the critics, has met Snowden and worked closely with him, put<\/a> this in perspective with his usual \u00e9lan:<\/p>\n

\u2018One of the most darkly hilarious things to watch is how government apologists and media servants are driven by total herd behavior: they all mindlessly adopt the same script and then just keep repeating it because they see others doing so and, like parrots, just mimic what they hear\u2026 Hordes of people who had no idea what \u201cnarcissism\u201d even means \u2013 and who did not know the first thing about Snowden \u2013 kept repeating this word over and over because that became the cliche used to demonize him.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Caution, however, is advised. The Daily Banter blog noted<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u2018Glenn Greenwald has been looking to take down Obama and feed his own depthless narcissism for years now. He just managed to accomplish one of these goals in spades\u2026\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On one level, all of this is absurd. But there is a serious point \u2013 whenever any<\/em> individual or group, anywhere, threatens powerful interests in any way, the corporate media can be relied upon to unleash a flood of toxic abuse to promote public hostility and so neutralise the threat. This is not a conspiracy: the system selects for senior managers and junior cogs who just \u2018understand\u2019 who needs to be served, placated and reviled, if profit is to be maximised.<\/p>\n

In truth, it is a kind of runaway smear machine, functioning almost automatically. The bad news, of course, in the age of looming climate collapse, is that this machine is doing a superb job of neutralising the voices of expert climate scientists desperately trying to warn of impending disaster. The same confident, jokey, worldly, abusive, casual dismissals are preventing scientists from being heard and the public from taking them seriously. It is up to all of us, both inside and outside the system, to do whatever we can to undermine this lethal propaganda.<\/p>\n
