ROYALTY AND BRITAIN’S GENUFLECTING PRESS: “A Discourse Empty of Content”

By Michael Faulkner – 03.03.13

Britain’s execrable tabloid news media are at their most sickening and hypocritical when dealing with matters royal. The worst of a thoroughly bad bunch are the Sun and the Daily Mail. This week they have both acted true to type in their gleeful character-assassination of Man Booker Prize-winning novelist Hilary Mantel. She has been attacked for some remarks she made in the course of a London Review of Books
