People have become ‘fatigued’ with Meghan Markle after seeing her constantly ‘whining and moaning’, says author and Fairness First spokesperson Oli London.
‘She’s just so out of touch,’ Mr London told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
Firstly we commend Sky News Australia on its newfound commitment to respecting people’s self identification. Usually we’d suspect that a figure such as Oli London — an internet personality who has spent years insisting they are “transracial” and identify as South Korean and all manner of offensive nonsense he kind of apologised for — wouldn’t be someone the after dark crew would take seriously. But hey, London has detransitioned after six months identifying as a woman and is now fixated on trans women in sport and willing to say Pride events are no place for children… so he’s a credible enough Sky News guest, I guess?
Secondly, at last someone says it: we are tired of hearing about the troubles of Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle and her husband Prince Harry. After all, look at all this exhausting coverage Sky News’ Twitter feed has apparently been forced to produce in just the last week:
June 27: Meghan Markle has “no authenticity” and people don’t see her as a “real person” who is just using Prince Harry, says author and Fairness First spokesperson Oli London.

Including the report on our collective Markle fatigue, that’s 20 posts across what must have been a very tiring week for Sky, we’re sure. Meanwhile, social media analysis tool CrowdTangle tells us the Sky News Facebook page put out an extremely draining 225 posts about Harry and Meghan in the last month.
If only there was some way Sky News could alleviate this Markle fatigue.
Sky News’ coverage of Megan is absolutely obsessed and demented. If you do a Google search for her name, the coverage from Sky is relentless, day after day. Not to mention hyper misogynistic and racist, which is not a surprise for News Corp
And it ain’t just Sky. It is now an amusing daily ritual to count up the (unflattering) Megan/Harry articles per day at Limited News.com.au (I don’t subscribe to any of their actual mastheads). Hardly ever less than 2 (during Chilla’s coronation it got up to 11). Even out-does the Kardashians (mind you not today).
Pathetic really.
Of course, the Sky News coverage has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Harry is suing the News Group paper The Sun. On the bright side, I was inspired to work out how to delete Sky News from my news feed.
Can you tell me how to delete Sky News from my Samsung TV ‘On Now’ feed? Please!
Sorry, I managed it on my I Phone but anything more is above my very limited technical expertise.
Gotta keep them oldies and truckies afraid of some chick married to some royal guy
A mate has been sucked into the QAnon vortex, I patiently listen to tirades about Meghan amongst other things such as poor old Joe Biden. I had to look up who she is. All this crap is from the USA. Whatever her faults or virtues, what’s it matter to Australians?
Also, when I did that Google search a few months back there was an article from Sky breathlessly reporting that Harry had called in the divorce lawyers, suggesting divorce was imminent. As usual, churning out what they think their audience wants to hear, without even the tiniest regard for facts
MM has all the attributes they hate most in a human being. Firstly…she’s female and secondly seems completely decent and well intentioned. What more to hate in an individual, I ask you?
She’s also a woman ‘of colour’. Triple whammy for the self-absorbed bigots at Nescorpse.
Not to mention – MM is apparently intelligent, talented and quite principled, despite Lady Colin Campbell’s opinion (who’s she?).
