The news media offers wall-to-wall propaganda every day. We only notice when a royal dies [Jonathan Cook]

"There is absolutely no commercial reason for the media to be dedicating so much time and space to the Prince’s death. ITV, which needs eyeballs on its programmes to generate income from advertising, saw a 60 per cent drop in viewing figures after it decided to broadcast endless forelock-tugging. Audiences presumably deserted to Netflix and Youtube, where the mood of mourning was not being enforced. Many viewers, particularly younger ones, have no interest in the fact that a very old man just died, even if he did have lots of titles.
Like ITV, the BBC simply ignored the wishes of its audiences, commandeering all of its many channels to manufacture and enforce the national mood of grief. That even went so far as placing banners on the CBBC channel for children encouraging them to forgo their cartoons and switch to the other channels paying endless, contrived tributes to Philip. The resulting outpouring of anger was so great, the BBC was forced to open a dedicated complaints form on its website, and then hurriedly had to remove it when the establishment threw a wobbly about viewers being given a chance to object to the BBC’s coverage."

Genius Gnimbi's Kadungure's Tragic Accident: Victims Must Be Compensated By His Estate.

Zimbabwe must confront its culture of drink driving. Hopewell Chin’ono, a prominent journalist is still in prison for the crime of tweeting about corruption by Zimbabwe's elites, and people are celebrating the life of Gnimbi, a symbol of rot that has brought poverty and destroyed millions of lives of Zimbabweans. Why not organise protests or other actions during Gnimbi's funeral when the whole world is watching, when all those elites gather to show off at that funeral.  Tragic and sad as it is, Genius "Gnimbi" Kadungure was irresponsible and careless. The deaths of Moana, Limumba Karim and Elisha. These tragic deaths were were needless and preventable. The families who have lost their loved ones as a result of Gnimbi's carelessness should sue his car insurers and his estate for compensation for wrongful death. Since the accident I have not seen a single article or news report commenting on this, and anyone advising these families regarding suing Gnimbi...
