Prince Harry has announced another new job today - his second in 48 hours - as a celebrity commissioner for an American study into the 'avalanche of misinformation' in the digital world funded by a controversial billionaire blamed for wiping out newspapers.
The Duke of Sussex is joining the left-leaning Aspen Institute's new Commission on Information Disorder in Washington DC along with 14 others including Kathryn Murdoch, the wife of Rupert Murdoch's son James, who resigned from his father's media empire last year.
The Aspen Institute is one of America's best known, and best funded think tanks, drawing cash from rich donors and big businesses, including Facebook. The organisation, whose HQ is a few blocks from the White House, looks at all areas of US life and says its mission is to build a 'free, just, and equitable society'.

“Another grifter fake job...would “misinformation” include all the lies from the Orpah interview, for example, Meghan claiming they were married in private.”

LOL - “grifter fake job”. In more traditional times these were known (and still are, I guess) as sinecures. But in recent decades these parasitic “positions”, feeding off the wealth produced by the actually productive members of our nation, have proliferated. Well done Harry... you’ve become a parasite in America.
Another “fact checker,” making decisions on facts that he knows nothing about.
A celebrity commissar.
when it comes to propaganda/FakeNews, no-one beats BBC. Twitter, WHO on this panel, plus the SPOOKY Bellingcat?
AUDIO: 53min: 24 March: BBC World Questions:
Covid-19 and information
World Questions tackles the global issue of Covid-19: not just the disease itself but the information surrounding the pandemic. What should we have known and what questions should have been asked? Sharing information - and understanding the basis of the decisions of the scientists and the politicians - has never been more important or more difficult. So, do we always get the best information? How do we interpret the science and the policies that goes with it? And how does the world’s media respond to a pandemic? How have any of us - politicians, health experts and journalists - communicated with the public?
As we try and get to grips with the best way to share information about what is really happening, what’s the best way to deal with “fake news” – is it a major force or a distraction from the crisis? And what’s the best counter to it? Attack it, understand it, or ignore it? In our digital world, can it ever be eradicated or regulated?
The BBC’s Media Editor, Amol Rajan, is joined by four leading experts from around the world and members of the public with their questions.
The panel:
Nick Pickles: Senior Director, Public Policy Strategy and Development, Twitter.
Zeynep Tufekci: Sociologist and writer
Eliot Higgins: Investigative journalist, founder of Bellingcat
Margaret Harris: Spokesperson for the World Health Organisation...

Send them back to england.
Harry doesn’t mind if he doesn’t make the scene. He’s got a daytime job, he’s doing alright...
Harry sure likes Aspen.
Enough to keep those award recipients waiting for hours.
So much for noblesse oblige.
