Cleese, never one to shy away from controversy, voiced his disdain for Dolan's remarks, calling them appalling and branding GB News's content as "nasty, vulgar rubbish." It's clear that Cleese was not holding back when he expressed his disgust at the way Meghan was being treated.
But let's delve a bit deeper into this. Dolan's choice of words didn't stop at a simple nickname. He went on to describe Meghan as a "scheming, cynical, money-grabbing grifter" and labeled her and Harry as the "Duke and Duchess of self-pity." He didn't spare Harry either, suggesting that meeting Meghan was the worst thing to ever happen to him.
The controversy doesn't end there. Lawrence Fox, another GB News guest, added fuel to the fire by making derogatory remarks about a female journalist, sparking outrage and leading to his suspension. GB News, in an attempt to salvage its reputation, suspended both Fox and the host who failed to challenge Fox's comments. In the wake of this scandal, GB News issued an apology and promised a thorough investigation. But the damage was already done.
The incident not only tarnished the network's image but also exposed the toxic atmosphere that has seeped into discussions around Meghan and Harry. It's worth noting that while GB News claims to champion free speech, there's a thin line between freedom of expression and outright vitriol.
