RE: The Daily Mail fans the flames of prejudice.

Piers Morgan probably is right to some degree and the media in the UK does simply give people what they want. Any disaster of any sort sees viewing figures go through the roof - so what do you get? Wall-to-wall coverage of disasters. Meghan writes a letter to her dad... loads of sales. Oh, the intrigue. Let's do that more.

Harry's spot on when he says the British media's toxic. I can't watch or consume it any more - even the "impartial" BBC has succumbed to the fight for viewers, trashing, arguing, criticising anybody and everybody irrespective of what their opinion is.

But it's not just the mainstream media. Social Media has provided people with a platform to not just share their opinion, but to impose it. And only those that impose it in the strongest possible sense are correct.

We're on a downward spiral. 12 months ago, Covid united us. 1 month later, Covid divided us with arguments about fakes, etc. When lockdown ends, I fear we'll be even more divided than ever.
