Reckon we're approximately three Afroman videos away from a Netflix documentary about this saga. 🤣

@xubeauty06 Who benefits from this? I can think of some who do. 🤬

@Lorna_TVeditor There’s been two big stories recently about publicists commissioned to plant stories and start online chatter. The issue w/Meghan is folks are too aware of the online hate campaign so someone w/pull has gotten the trades involved.

"Anonymous sourcing becomes not only convenient but essential...speculation is presented as reporting, then cited by other outlets until it acquires the appearance of fact." A very good read about dying newsrooms and the chase for clickbait exemplified by Meghanomics.

@xubeauty06 Well, they need to pull their finger out because this is the second Penske-owned outlet to throw crap at her. Not good because, like the other one, it is still regarded as a showbiz bible.

@Lorna_TVeditor The media landscape in the US is different&anonymous sources are the least of the problem. When you start seeing articles by outlets that don’t typically report on her& it’s spread across different outlets, someone set it in motion. WME has the power to find out who is doing it.

@sussex_watch And played a huge role in Brexit. Totally unforgivable to treat the economic wellbeing of an entire nation as clickbait fodder.

@Lorna_TVeditor Chase for clickbait over integrity fuelled rise of mediocrity in government, institutions and business.

@xubeauty06 Sadly, there's very little they can do if news outlets are going to hide behind anonymous sources.

@Lorna_TVeditor This week was a commissioned campaign that was rolled across Penske media group. We saw them do this same thing during award season too. I’m seeing some more commissioned this morning so something is going on that her team needs to get to the bottom of before it gets out of hand.

Annual charity fundraiser #ComicRelief, impressively hosted again by Davina McCall, attracted average audience of 2.1m from 7-10pm on BBC1 which may be all time low (1st event, 1985) Public generosity however as high as ever, £30m raised by show end. Ratings data from @Digita_i_

@DameLilySavage @CameronYardeJnr And we *never* tire of it! 🤗

The real ones know Aaron and his version.... 😉 @Lorna_TVeditor @CameronYardeJnr #thegoldengirls

@BlahBla54235665 @benjic_parody Exactamundo. They sneered at Meghan for "her truth" but ignore their own alternative universe.

@Lorna_TVeditor @benjic_parody I've never known a charity to thrive when reserves fall by 74%, offices and centres are closed and redundancies are made but then again I live in the real world.....

So, according to the Times' own reporting in August 2025, Sentebale, once thriving under Harry's involvement, is now struggling with donor loss and layoffs under Sophie Chanduaka. According to the article: -The charity has been "bled dry" financially, with sharp declines in reserves (dropping to critically low levels like ~£207,000–$278,000) -Dozens of reliable, long-term donors withdrew support, including donors loyal to Prince Harry. -The "flagship" holiday camps at the Mamohato Children’s Centre in Lesotho have "ground to a halt", the center has little to no activity, and staff have been told to work from home to save costs. -And there is no proof of the charity's current claim that funding has stabilized... Hopefully, there will be an update about what's actually happening with Sentebale that isn't sourced by Sophie Chandauka or written by Tom Bower. It's clear Tom Bower didn't bother fact-checking what he wrote about Sentebale in his latest book because he said Sentebale's CEO Richard Miller, appointed in 2019, didn't go to Lesotho and was paid £350k. Yet in his foreword in the annual report Richard says he went to Lesotho, and the accounts show no one was paid over £80k.

Watch 1974 David Essex movie Stardust and catch Larry Hagman's portrayal of a skeezy music exec; it feels like an audition for JR Ewing. Dallas' "who shot JR?" storyline was so huge, the episode revealing the culprit arrived in the UK under heavy security. x.com/RetroNewsNow/s…

@benjic_parody I agree, but first and foremost, the onus is on the journalists/producers to do their research. Toilet Bowl was allowed to 100% ignore the timeline and the role the trustees played in trying to get that lying skank to step down. I'm sure it was all by design. Useless fuckwits.

This is exactly why we need more factual, in-depth reporting on Sentebale's current status. Remember when Tom Bower's last book dropped? There was immediate pushback, with detailed lists of inaccuracies and misleading claims. If Meghan and Harry want to counter any similar distortions without amplifying them, they should quietly brief reliable journalists or sources to set the record straight, pushing back effectively but discreetly, without drawing extra attention to the drama. I'm sure Harry and Prince Seeiso are fully aware of what's happening inside the charity. I'd launch a full-on campaign against them. It's clear the organization has been struggling and "crumbling" in parts since the public split, with reports of redundancies, shrinking reserves, and lack of programming this past summer.

😂

@SageKnowsAll @benjic_parody And no challenge whatsoever from the presenters who knew they'd be asking him about Sentebale.

@Lorna_TVeditor @benjic_parody Of course he will say that. He won’t say that sentebale is sending begging emails out. He won’t say that they’ve shut down programs and laid off staff. Thriving? Ya right lol.

@benjic_parody It was recorded at some point after that Variety hit-piece and then uploaded to YT hours after that This Morning "derangers are sources!" debacle. Not-nice-and-dim Tim Stanley alongside Camilla Twonkiney.

@Lorna_TVeditor was that recent?

Sure, Comic Relief is struggling to get big viewing figures now because of cutbacks, lack of money to make lots of comedy, and other things that have been the direct result of Tory underfunding and Labour disinterest in supporting TV production, but it still raised £30m.

“Police and Thieves” is a seminal 1976 roots reggae anthem produced by Lee “Scratch” Perry at his Black Ark studio, sung by Junior Murvin.

This is what happens when greed supersedes need. There's a need for affordable housing in London but developers, leaders and politicians are too greedy!

Agnes Wanjiru, 21, was killed in 2012 and her body dumped in a septic tank. A former soldier based at the training unit was charged with her murder just last year. Robert Purkiss "vehemently denies" the charge and is fighting extradition to Kenya. Sky's @YousraElbagir reports

@NicMye Yep.

@Lorna_TVeditor Shouldn’t that be the other way around the Duchy giving 10.3M to Comic Relief…🤯🤯 but we know how they stay!!

The financial connection between The Duchy of Cornwall's landlord and Comic Relief is the sort of news the royal rota endeavour not to bring us. And now one of them, Sky News' Rhiannon Mills, is Buckingham Palace's new Media Secretary. How very cosy.

Morganevelyncook's TikTok's are always worth a watch.
