That newspaper hates Kate Middleton so they want to tie her to a hospital where a porn star gave birth to try and make her look bad by association.

u/Korachof 1d ago

I figured they just mentioned a random famous person who also gave birth there.

Consciously that's what the editor did, that's how he would explain it.

But the idea is to associate things in people's minds. If you can put bonnie blue and Kate Middleton in the same sentence then you create a connection between the two in people's minds, a very weak connection but it doesn't need to be any stronger.

Keir Starmer looked at the bunny rabbits. That sentence on its own gives a positive impression of Keir starmer, we don't know anything else other than there's Keir starmer and there's bunny rabbits, he could have hated bunny rabbits, but it doesn't matter, what matters is the mental connections formed in your mind and logically you associate bunny rabbits with happiness and niceness so you associate Keir starmer with those things too, not by much, but it doesn't need to be by much. Because this happens with every single editorial decision whether conscious or subconsciously

I took the association to be: Kate Middleton = royalty, of high distinction vs Bonnie Blue = depravity, of both low social and moral distinction.

The idea being Bonnie Blue's depravity is being amplified and she's dirtying the temporal space they shared.

u/mr_beanoz 1d ago

Or they want to improve Bonnie's name by associating her with Kate

u/fibojoly 1d ago

Yeah naw. That's not how those shit-spreading papers work.

u/NewUsernameStruggle 23h ago

Right, that’s the assumption I’d go with than the reply you’re replying to.

UK media is just deranged. I thought it was only the sports journos that are crazy but it looks like they are all crazy that side lmao.

Which is silly for many reasons but also because it is the hospital where Diana gave birth and the papers love to pretend that they did nothing but praise her.

u/Beautiful-Comedian56 1d ago

St Mary's Hospital, I was born there, along with everyone else in the surrounding area. It's a public hospital.

I'm not at all familiar with all the UK Royal family stuff, but isn't Kate the one that is liked by the English press, while the other one is hated? 

1

u/EruditeKetchup 1d ago

They hate them both. Kate's nickname in the press was Waity Katie because Prince William supposedly kept her waiting too long for a ring and she didn't leave.

u/FuzzedOutAmbience 1d ago

I thought they were trying to make Bonnie look bad

1

u/Long-Power6909 1d ago

probably that, but still weird, as it implies the hospital only treat patients related to each other by association.

u/wgbe 1d ago

Why would the Daily Star hate a racist royal?

u/Bexil_Brave 1d ago

Found the Daily Star employee.

Imagine having this amount of vitriol in your life.

u/ThatFatGuyMJL 23h ago

No they quite like Kate.

Its Markle they hate.

u/ImFamousYoghurt 1d ago

The more buzzwords they can put the headline, the higher it goes in the search results

u/motorcitymarxist 1d ago

It’s an incredibly expensive private hospital, which is significant in the UK where most people give birth using NHS services.

u/Ladonnacinica 1d ago

St. Mary’s hospital is part of the NHS but they have a private wing called the Lido wing which is where Kate Middleton and also Diana gave birth. But the entire hospital itself isn’t highly expensive or exclusive.

u/motorcitymarxist 1d ago

Ah, I thought it was the Portland, but that was the Sussex kids. 

3

u/Ladonnacinica 1d ago

No, Meghan is the one who did that. William and Kate used St. Mary’s and Edward and Sophie actually were in another NHS hospital, not even a private wing.

To the best of my knowledge, no other Royal has used Portland besides the Sussexes.

u/holy_cal 1d ago

Yup. We happened to pass it along the way on a coach tour out to Bath and Stonehenge, and the tour guide pointed it out.

u/vkrty 1d ago

What is the point of a private hospital there? Don’t want to be in the same building as commoners or something?

u/motorcitymarxist 1d ago

Private room, better food, fancy soap in the bathrooms.

u/Impressive-Proof-323 1d ago

Higher quality services. Health care usually is around same level, unless you are seeking some non health related procedure that is bette in the prívate sector.

But in the public hospital you are getting a tasteless pudding and a room with 3 old guys that fart non stop for your staying.

In the prívate hospital you have a solo room and filet mignon. There are levels at being unhealthy.

1

u/Ladonnacinica 1d ago

It is a NHS hospital too. But they have a private wing which is the Lido wing.

u/kllark_ashwood 1d ago

Security and space. If she tried to give birth to a future king on a random ward either her privacy would be violated or she would have to clear more space than a typical patient to maintain it.

As it is she had a breach of privacy tha resulted in a Nurse committing suicide.

u/egoodethc 1d ago

Basically this you’re also paying for a room with a nice bed and privacy.

u/pm-me-your-labradors 1d ago

It’s provocative…. It gets the people going

u/ObviousReplier99 1d ago

I love when OP shows up in the comments.

  1. Elevate title with more viral/buzz words aka Clickbait
  2. To drag royal family by tying them to a porn star aka Tabloid fodder
  3. To note a porn star used an elite expensive private hospital aka Ragebait

2

u/Patient_Activity_489 1d ago

search engine optimizations. if they include her name in the title and people look up recent news about kate middleton, this now has a chance to pop up

1

u/ViciousCDXX 1d ago

Because famous people are better than us, especially "royal" ones. /s

u/Impossible-Age-3302 1d ago

To increase engagement.

1

u/reverendmalerik 1d ago

Its the Daily Star. They probably couldn't find a link to Princess Diana or Madeline McCann so they went with option 3, Kate Middleton.

1

u/Diligent_Practice877 21h ago

Actually Princess Diana gave birth there as well lol

1

u/Diligent_Practice877 21h ago

It’s also where Princess Diana gave birth
