Prince Harry's stint in the war zone ruined by the media and Prince Harry

Published: Monday, March 03, 2008

When word "leaked" that Prince Harry was in Afghanistan "On the front lines", the media went into a frenzy all running the same looped video of the lanky red headed son of Princes Diana sitting behind high caliber gun and another with him patrolling a street in an Afghan town. The only thing is that, the streets Harry and his fellow British soldiers were patrolling were completely empty not even wind in sight. It’s almost as if you can imagine the whole seen behind the camera, a producer and a director who you are waiting to hear say the words “cut” and “great job Harry”. The footage of him the big caliber gatlin gun shooting with a smile on his face and sometimes stopping to chat with his whoever was in the trench with him, was described by the media as the "Prince shooting at enemy positions". What's really sad is that the American media more than any other is eating this clear cut propaganda designed by the British in an effort to normalize the prince in the eyes of his fellow soldiers and the world. Harry was probably nowhere near any real danger while in Afghanistan. We doubt the prince even got a glimpse of a Taliban. So why is the American media eating up this hot dish of nothing? Well because the American media is built on sensationalism and will run with anything that will pull in an audience. They ran headlines like "The Hero Prince Comes Home" and ran the staged photos along with their overzealous headlines. But Harry wanting to stay clear of media made labels is rejecting the "Hero" and rightfully so. We have to say though our favorite footage was Harry calling in a fake air strike.
