1. AM and PM editions
of right-wing tabloid
Daily Mail for
Monday 8 March
2021.
2. Conservative/right-wing
broadsheet The Daily Telegraph
and neo-liberal (with a
capitalist/globalist economic
ideology) broadsheet Financial
Times, which decidedly ignores
the issue.
3. Liberal online newspaper (formerly a compact broadsheet) The
Independent’s front cover for Monday 8 March 2021 decidedly ignores
the Royal family “crisis” to focus on another issue involving the
detention in Iran of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe. The prosecutor
general of Tehran stated in October 2017 that Zaghari-Ratcliffe was
being held for running "a BBC Persian online journalism course which
was aimed at recruiting and training people to
spread propaganda against Iran".[7]
On 7 March 2021, her original sentence ended, but she was scheduled
to face a second set of charges on 14 March.[8] On 26 April, she was
found guilty of propaganda activities against the government and
sentenced to one year in prison.[9] On 16 October, her appeal was
rejected by the Iranian court.[10]
Zaghari-Ratcliffe has always denied the spying charges against her, and
her husband maintains that his wife "was imprisoned as leverage for a
debt owed by the UK over its failure to deliver tanks to Iran in 1979."[11]
9. The neo-liberal broadsheet Financial Times barely acknowledges the Royal
family “crisis” in its Briefing section, but dedicates a bigger section in its
front cover to the effects of the pandemic on mothers. Also, despite
Women’s Day being on the 8th March, it mentions this on its 9 March front
cover after neglecting to do so in its front cover for the previous day.
