UK Media's Willful Ignorance of Meghan's "As Ever" Brand Launch

Added: 2026-05-16

[00:00:00]I have been that go-to girl for years for my friends who have they ask for travel advice or food advice and I would always share those things on Twitter and Instagram, but it just felt like it was time to really have a space to share all of those loves. Um So, yes, I appreciate it. It's definitely more of a lifestyle site than a blog or just some other actress thing as you know, as you're saying. So, I'm happy that you're enjoying it. It's only been 3 weeks, so it's really cool.

[00:00:27]When Meghan launched as ever, the UK media collectively lost the plot acting as though this was some shocking out of nowhere development that nobody could have possibly seen coming.

[00:00:41]They were absolutely frothing at the mouth churning out nonsense at an industrial pace as if they'd never once paid attention to the decade-long trail of evidence pointing directly to this moment. And that's precisely the point.

[00:00:57]They hadn't. The UK tabloid press doesn't do research. They don't dig into the facts. They don't connect the dots and they certainly don't let the truth get in the way of a breathless hit piece.

[00:01:11]They simply ignored everything that was sitting right in front of them and chose to lie instead because lies are more profitable than context.

[00:01:21]There is no respect for truth in those newsrooms and there is absolutely no ethical framework guiding their coverage.

[00:01:29]It's a machine built to manufacture outrage and Meghan's success gives them exactly the fuel they need to keep the engine running even when or perhaps especially when that success makes their narratives look utterly ridiculous. UK media's embarrassing overreaction to Meghan's as ever launch.

[00:01:53]When Meghan launched as ever, the UK media collectively lost their minds acting as though it had come completely out of nowhere.

[00:02:01]As if they'd never once bothered to do even the most basic background research.

[00:02:06]Outlets were practically foaming at the mouth, plastering sensationalized headlines across every front page and website, shrieking with faux disbelief at something that to anyone paying even a shred of attention was even the most basic background research before putting pen to paper.

[00:02:27]The facts were right there, publicly available, easy to find. And yet, they chose to ignore every last bit of context that would have told a completely different story.

[00:02:39]Instead of taking even 5 minutes to properly vet what they were writing, they scrambled to be first to publish their breathless nonsense, rushing out half-baked takes with zero due diligence, zero verification, and absolutely zero regard for getting it right.

[00:02:58]The UK media's shameless lies about Meghan and as ever.

[00:03:03]What made it all so infuriating was the sheer brazen disregard for basic facts.

[00:03:10]False narratives were churned out across publication after publication.

[00:03:15]Tabloids, broadsheets, online rags, each one seemingly competing to outdo the last in sheer dishonesty.

[00:03:25]Misinformation was packaged up and presented as though it were legitimate reporting, as though these outlets had done even a shred of due diligence before hitting publish.

[00:03:37]They hadn't.

[00:03:38]And when they got it wrong, spectacularly, embarrassingly wrong, corrections were virtually nonexistent.

[00:03:46]No acknowledgement, no accountability, no apology.

[00:03:51]Just move on to the next hit piece and hope nobody noticed.

[00:03:55]That's not journalism.

[00:03:57]That's a smear campaign with a byline.

[00:04:00]UK media's shameful coverage of Meghan's as ever launch.

[00:04:05]And let's not even get started on the complete absence of any ethical standards in how this whole thing was covered. There was zero journalistic integrity or responsibility on display.

[00:04:18]Just a pack of reporters abandoning any pretense of doing their jobs properly.

[00:04:24]Bias wasn't just creeping into the reporting, it was driving the entire narrative, shoved into the front seat while objective facts were left on the side of the road.

[00:04:36]Where was the editorial oversight?

[00:04:39]Nowhere to be found. Someone, somewhere in those newsrooms, should have pumped the brakes and said, "Hold on. Let's actually verify this before we run with it."

[00:04:51]But that never happened.

[00:04:53]Instead, they just let the nonsense flow freely, unchecked, and unaccountable.

[00:04:59]UK media's shameless lies about Meghan's as ever launch.

[00:05:04]This incident is hardly a one-off. It's a crystal clear reflection of a deeply ingrained pattern of irresponsible reporting that the UK media has practically made its trademark.

[00:05:16]Time and time again, these outlets consistently throw truth straight out the window the moment a juicier, more sensational angle presents itself. And Meghan is almost always their favorite target.

[00:05:31]And the most infuriating part? There's zero accountability. They lie, they get called out, and then they turn right around and do it all over again without so much as a correction or an apology.

[00:05:44]No consequences, no shame, just an endless cycle of dishonest, ethics-free journalism that poisons public discourse and insults the intelligence of anyone paying even the slightest bit of attention.

[00:05:59]UK media's shameful coverage of Meghan's as Ever launch.

[00:06:04]The damage done by this kind of reckless, lazy journalism is real, and it runs deep.

[00:06:11]By consistently framing Meghan's as Ever launch as some shocking, out-of-nowhere venture, the UK media deliberately shaped how the public understood her.

[00:06:22]Painting her as an opportunist rather than someone who had been building toward this for years.

[00:06:29]Those false narratives took hold, spreading through social media and dinner table conversations alike, poisoning public opinion against her simply because reporters couldn't be bothered to do 5 minutes of actual research.

[00:06:44]And the real casualty in all of this?

[00:06:48]Trust.

[00:06:50]When outlets choose sensationalism over facts, when they fabricate outrage instead of reporting reality, they don't just fail Meghan.

[00:07:00]They fail every single person who reads their work and expects, at the bare minimum, the truth.

[00:07:07]The UK media's shameless failure when Meghan launched as Ever.

[00:07:13]And this is exactly why media accountability isn't just some abstract concept. It's an absolute necessity.

[00:07:21]Outlets need to stop chasing clicks and sensational headlines and start doing the bare minimum, getting the story right.

[00:07:30]Ethical journalism isn't optional. It's the entire foundation of the profession, and right now, that foundation is rotting from the inside out, particularly in the UK tabloid press.

[00:07:43]There are standards, there are codes of conduct, and yet nobody seems to be enforcing a single one of them.

[00:07:51]Fact-checking exists. Verification exists. The tools are there. These outlets simply choose not to use them because outrage sells better than truth.

[00:08:03]That is not journalism. That is propaganda dressed up in a press badge.

[00:08:08]And it is long past time someone held these so-called reporters accountable for the damage their reckless, lazy, and frankly dishonest coverage causes.
