It’s telling that as soon as Wille admits to being in the Video with Simon the press starts photographing Simon.
This season has been kind of contained - less commentary on the press than last season. So we haven’t seen the long term impacts of the video of Simon’s life - beyond his trauma of course.
But the press all know exactly where Simon is stood to be able to take reaction shots the moment that the video comes up.
Even if Wille’s denial last season took the pressure off the press speculation I bet they haven’t stopped keeping Simon in their back pockets. Remaining aware of him.

On a sidebar to all this drama, something that really bothers me is all the articles about William and Catherine’s “rare” displays of PDA which comes out… after every engagement they have together🤦🏻‍♀️ Just because they are not overly clingy and like to act like the working professionals they are, does not mean they don’t show affection in other ways, like gentle touches of the back and shoulders, or those loving gazes. They share that publicly ALL THE TIME, which is why we have 500 articles of their “rare” PDA. Do these journalists not keep track of what they write?
Personally, I understand that. PDA is something they are not known for; that's why all of us in fandom go mush when William puts his hand on Catherine's back, it's not much but it's the little we know we'll see them do in public, same goes for the press. What you describe that always happens between them is more noticed by the fans. I don't think even the daily mail would do an article about William and Catherine not touching each other, but just eye-eating each other. That's something you expect from @cambridgemadness, not the press.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN
April 30, 2023
HEATHER COX RICHARDSON
MAY 1, 2023
Thanks to Heather Timmons, White House editor for Reuters, whom I met a lifetime ago in summer 2016 as we tried to figure out what on earth was going on in the Republican Party, I got to hear President Biden’s speech at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in person last night. Speaking in the giant hall in the Washington Hilton where the event was held, the president was relaxed and funny, poking fun at himself, entrepreneur Elon Musk, former Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson, and House speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). Finally, he embraced the Dark Brandon meme that suggests he has a laser-eyed alter-ego who ingeniously defeats his opponents. Biden also joked about his age, most memorably when he said he believes in the First Amendment that protects freedom of the press, and “not just because my good friend Jimmy Madison wrote it.” But right now, the First Amendment itself is no joke. A member of the U.S. press corps is in prison in Russia on trumped-up charges of “espionage.” Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was covering Russia’s mercenary military organization the Wagner Group when Russian officials arrested him on March 29. The U.S. State Department has called him “wrongfully detained,” which means the government sees him as a political hostage. In contrast, around 2,600 people showed up last night to witness humorist Roy Wood Jr. make fun of the president and vice president to their faces. It was theater, but theater that demonstrates an important principle: our government has no right to silence our criticism of it. The Framers of our government enshrined the right to freedom of the press in our Constitution along with the right to gather together, to practice any religion we want (including none at all), the right to say what we want, and the right to ask our government to do (or not to do) things. After writing a new constitution that created a far stronger national government than existed under the Articles of Confederation, which had created the government since 1777 (although the Articles were not ratified until 1781), the Framers designed the ten amendments that make up the Bill of Rights to hold back government power. The power to control what citizens can publish about the government would give leaders the power to destroy democracy. A free press is imperative to keep people informed about what leaders are doing. Lose it, and those in power can do whatever they wish without accountability. From the beginning of the American republic, though, the press was openly partisan. This meant the president worked quite closely with newspaper reporters from his own party, while ignoring, or sometimes even trying to silence, his opponents. By the 1880s the country had begun to turn against the partisan press and to “independent” newspapers, and the number of papers took off. No longer advocates for a party position and eager to attract readers, reporters began to look for new, exciting stories. And not much was more exciting in 1886 than a marriage in the White House. On June 2 of that year, 49-year-old President Grover Cleveland married 21-year-old Frances Folsom, who had been his unofficial ward, in the Blue Room. Reporters had dogged their courtship (many thought he was interested in her more age-appropriate mother), and they flocked after the newlyweds, finally prompting the irritated president to ask his personal secretary to keep them away. But while the president was angry at the scrutiny, editors recognized a good story, and by the end of Cleveland’s first term, a reporter had figured out he could just stay at the White House and write columns based on interviews with people coming from meetings with the president. Other papers immediately stationed their own people at the White House. In Cleveland’s second term, which started in 1893, his private secretary worked directly with the press. Through the next few presidencies, the role of press secretary began to take shape. Theodore Roosevelt relished attention from reporters. When his shy successor William Howard Taft shunned them, they complained he was hiding things. So, shortly after he took office in 1913, President Woodrow Wilson held the nation’s first press conference, only to complain both that reporters were quoting statements he considered off the record, and that the conferences were a free-for-all in which anyone could shout out questions, often ones Wilson found Irritating (like his opinion about Groundhog Day). In 1914, rumors circulated that Congress might begin to choose which reporters would be allowed at Wilson’s press conferences. In alarm, eleven White House reporters organized the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA). In 1921, as part of their annual election of officers, fifty members of the growing WHCA held a dinner. With former newspaperman Warren G. Harding in the White House, they were in a celebratory mood, despite Prohibition (which they ignored). Taking their cue from the famous Gridiron Club, which held dinners where they roasted politicians, WHCA members poked fun at the administration and Congress. While at first the reporters simply wanted access to the president, as the WHCA became an established force it came to work for transparency more generally, recognizing that journalists are the main eyes and voice of the people. It now protects press passes for journalists who regularly cover the White House and assigns seats in the briefing room. It also funds scholarships for aspiring journalists and gives journalism awards; the annual dinner is their main fundraising event. In the modern era there is plenty of criticism over the glitzy dinner and what seems too much chumminess between journalists and lawmakers. But the demonstration that the government cannot censor the press is valuable. For the four years of the past administration, the president refused to attend the dinner and barred his staff and other officials from attending. The same president called the press the “enemy of the people,” encouraging his supporters to attack reporters. Angry at negative stories about him from Voice of America, Trump replaced the independent editor of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which oversees VOA, with Michael Pack, a close ally of Trump strategist Steve Bannon. Pack set out to turn the channel into a pro-Trump mouthpiece. U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell later concluded that Pack’s firing, disciplining, and investigating of journalists who didn’t toe the line violated the First Amendment. The dance between the government and the press is intricate and full of missteps, but last night, at an event where journalists wore pins that read, “I Stand With Evan,” this historian found the public reminder that the president must answer to journalists, with grace if at all possible, oddly moving.

LECTURE 16: MORE POPULAR THAN JESUS: Zany is the best word to describe this interview in a Tokyo hotel with The Beatles in June of 1966. In all likelihood, the band was stoned or on acid in this footage. On his way out to the absurd Q&A, Ringo Starr told the interviewer his name was “Harold,” so we here Ringo at the beginning being introduced as “Harold.” The interview is full of absurd responses from The Beatles, but you gotta admit: the questions are pretty damned asinine, too. Like their trip to the Philippines (which came after this), their visit to Japan proved to be a surreal experience, full of gigantic crowds, heavily armed police escorts, and an avalanche of death threats from fanatical right-wing Japanese fascists.

Who would win!?
Please, don't use logic on this...
A giant alien robot Warlord ex gladiator who consumes the blood of a demon!?
An evil scientist part cyborg who can control robots' minds?
A dumb group of supervillains whose leader can slow time?
A terrorist group that steals alien technology and kills giant alien robots?
Another scientist who stills alien technology but in secret uses it to be immortal?
A rich woman who has political and monetary control over a whole island?
The Press and their shitty comments?
All of this VS
A group of children that just want to make friends, are good listeners of people's problems, and they're literally sunshines pure of hearts!

Today I am reminding myself that neither Der Spiegel nor its journalists who pushed the rape story has ever mentioned it was dismissed on June 10. And no journalists ever manage to report the magistrate quote stating that without the dubious documents, there would be no affair. Guess they hope the appeal will work better in their favour and only then would they publish it. How easy to be a publication of reference if you can simply ignore all the time you’ve been wrong.
By the way, Mayorga lawyer had pushed the deadline twice already probably to get the publication of his brief on a time dommageable to Cristiano.
To think I, a French, have to waddle around American judiciary files, paying hands over fist, to try to follow that case because journalists are covering one another is angering.

Only 32% of Americans agree that “the U.S. should support Israel,” down from 41% last month. They are now fewer than those saying “the U.S. should be a neutral mediator,” which rose from 27% to 39%.
Americans oppose sending weapons to Israel, 43%-31%.
68% agree that “Israel should call a ceasefire and try to negotiate,” including 3/4ths of Democrats and half of Republicans.
Reuters/Ipsos, November 2023
