This morning, as per my usual, I told myself “no social media.” It was an internal monologue; I don’t talk to myself. I’m not that crazy. 🤔 As a perspiring author, I am writing, intending to finish, once and for all, my long-suffering, often discarded, nearly finished, fiction. I will not be distracted.

It was a slip of my titanium hook (argh) that opened the Twitter app. (Damn it!) I will not call it X. That led me to this “The Daily Beast” story. The title photo shows a teenaged Harry with Ditty, the sex-trafficking rap singer/producer, and idiot Kanye. We all remember when the teenaged Prince H went through a rough patch. His book chronicles it and also reveals how his hardships were exploited in the media.
Hold on:
They have cropped the photo in this headline. Look who else was in the original picture. It was a concert ‘after party’ that honored Diana.
I’ve been following the story of Prince Harry and his three hot British attorneys. (Collin Firth has not seen my bat signal, has never heard of me or read my blog. As such, my therapist has urged me to move on.; and so I am) The aforementioned four are suing several tabloids, but have also blazed a new trail by going after the head of the snake, Rupert Murdoch himself.
Rupert Murdoch knew of the phone tapping and other illegal means of gathering intelligence used by his publications. That is the crux of the lawsuit. Forty others have joined the suit. Rupert Murdoch is the destroyer of journalism and, if he has his way, democracy. He needs to be shut down. He has his hands in every source of news and must pay for killing journalism. But I thought the Daily Beast was independent.
How did they get The Daily Beast onboard? My question, does Murdoch own Daily Beast?
Research time. “Hey Siri, does Murdoch own The Daily Beast?”
“Siri, who owns IAC?” (My Siri is a British man.) He responds
“Lydia, love, IAC was purchased by:”
“Siri, darling, is Wendi Murdoch related to Rupert?”
Wendi Murdoch is Rupert Murdoch’s 79th wife.”
Their “source” for the story is the report above. The meat used in them for the sensationalized headline doesn’t implicate Harry. It just mentions that he was among the big names invited to Sean Combs’ parties. So was William, but they did not name William.
In conclusion, The Daily Beast is not a credible source of information. Was I the last to know?

Good to know. You are one of my trusted sources. I know some news syndicates that could use your skills.
