on a scale of 1 to black I think Ian's a mite beyond the pale - so to speak.
'If you believe Archie has suffered racism then call me a Nigerian prince and give me your credit card': Candace Owens backs Piers Morgan and tears into 'leftist narcissist' Meghan Markle after Oprah interview
Conservative commentator Candace Owens has lashed out at Meghan Markle during an interview with Sean Hannity Wednesday night, describing the Duchess as a 'liar' and a 'narcissist'. Owens - who is a black American married to a white Brit - told the Fox News anchor that Meghan 'couldn't keep her stories straight' during her bombshell interview with Oprah last weekend. 'She [Meghan] said she doesn't read newspapers or check social media. That's not true because she then said that she was suicidal because of bad press,' Owens stated.

On Face For Forcing Out Piers Morgan
The cancellation of Ian Murray
For defending the press against Harry and Meghan’s bilge, he has been forced out by his fellow journalists.
Harry and Meghan have claimed another scalp. To disagree with the claims in that Oprah interview, that they are the victims of a racist media and an unfeeling monarchy, is now tantamount to thoughtcrime – as Piers Morgan and now Ian Murray have found out.
Murray was, until yesterday, the executive director of the Society of Editors in the UK. He resigned this morning due to comments he and his organisation made that irked the more woke sections of the press. In response to the Sussexes’ claims that the British tabloids ‘incited so much racism’ against them, the Society of Editors put out a robust statement on Monday.
‘The UK media is not bigoted and will not be swayed from its vital role holding the rich and powerful to account following the attack on the press by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’, it read, nodding to the universally positive coverage the couple received when they first got together. ‘It is not acceptable for the Duke and Duchess to make such claims without providing any supporting evidence.’
That an industry body would stick up for the industry it represents is hardly surprising. Not least because the claims that the media treated Harry and Meghan unfairly rest on a handful of questionable examples, subjected to an absurd level of textual analysis. That people keep banging on about that Mail piece about avocados shows us how far down the rabbit hole we’ve tumbled.
But many high-profile journalists were furious. The editors of the Guardian, the Financial Times and the HuffPost broke ranks and criticised the statement. An open letter, signed by ethnic-minority journalists, said it ‘shows an institution and an industry in denial’. After journalists pulled out of an upcoming SoE event, the writing was on the wall. A ‘clarification’ to the statement was issued and Murray fell on his sword.
By all means let’s have a discussion about racial bias in the press and barriers to entry for particular groups. That Guardian cartoon last year depicting Priti Patel as a fat cow with a ring through her nose reminds us it still has some way to go. Critics say that it is absurd to suggest that no racists work in the British media, that there are never any biased stories, and of course they are right. But then Murray never said that.
What he said was that you should not demonise an entire media based on vague allegations alone, that you cannot just conflate negative coverage of the Sussexes with racism, and that doing so risks undermining the media’s ability to hold the powerful to account. This is an entirely legitimate position to hold. It is frankly hard to see how any journalist could disagree with it. That he has been forced out merely for expressing it bodes very ill indeed.
Of all the things for journalists to get upset about this week, the SoE isn’t it. How about the fact that two royals complained to ITV about its coverage of them? Or that Harry and Meghan issued instructions to the BBC about how best to cover their Oprah interview? Or, on another matter, that the US office of HuffPost, one of the brave dissenters from the SoE statement, just sacked 47 of its journalists in psychotically cruel fashion.
No, some journalists would rather go to the barricades for a duke and duchess who don’t like the media being mean to them. And these are the people who we rely on to hold the powerful to account.

1) Someone asking what colour Archie might be isn't racist. It's ignorant and uneducated but I doubt it was racist. 2) Since no one seems to want to name names while they slam the Royal Family, I have some doubts about the claim in the first place. 3) It wouldn't matter if Archie was whiter than borax, he would NEVER be given the title of prince and nobody changed jack shit about titles just because of him. Smeggy's little problem is she didn't understand that and just ASSUMED that because her and Harry are titled as Prince and Princess that her kid(s) would be too.
IIRC it goes like this. All of the Queen's children are given the "P" title. All of their children are also given the "P" title. However, ONLY the children of the eldest child of the Prince of Wales are given the "P" title. Been that way for YEARS. Shame on Harry for not clearly explaining that to her. And now he just sits there pussy whipped while his wife plays identity politics and lies about his family. And Oprah is gobbling it up like when she was fat kid with Snickers bar. Yeah, Oprah's SOOO worried about racism she invited Nick Cannon to work at her network when CBS/Viacom fired his nazi ass for channeling his inner Hitler and spewing some seriously racist hate speech towards Whites and Jews.
And Smeggy's crap about being depressed and suicidal and the Palace staff doing nothing doesn't ring true either. She's a big girl. She couldn't pick up a phone or see a doctor for a referral herself? Or did she just expect the Palace staff, as her "servants", to do everything for her? Sounds to me like she's suffering from poor little rich girl syndrome and throwing yet another her little tantrums of several over the last few years because she couldn't get what she wanted.
But you know what sickens me the most about it all? So called journalists and supposedly respected news outlets are just fawning all over this bullshit. Yep, major earthquakes over the span of hours, huge volcanic eruptions that have killed people, US Democrats playing f*cking games with the Constitution and the electoral process, China saber rattling, the list goes on and all the "legacy" media can seem to talk about is when Hairy met Smeggy.
You know what would be just absolutely HUGE news? If journalists suddenly remembered what real journalism was and started practicing it again. That would be the biggest news of the century so far.
RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: The vengeful Left is cynically using a rift in the Royal Family to launch an all-out assault on the British press
RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: Left using Royals to launch assault on the press
RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: It is nothing less than extraordinary the way the self-appointed cultural elites have embraced Meghan Markle as an authentic voice of social justice.
It shouldn't matter what his skin color is. White, off white, eggshell, yellow, red, black, brown, purple, blue... frankly IF the question was asked it was disgustingly rude of whoever asked it.
