Prince Harry

The idea that the press has the potential to be bought off for the secrecy of information seems a bit disheartening. Regardless of what exact information the press knew and intended to withhold, this concept of being so easily manipulated and so self centric that the media only cared for the glitz and glamour of procuring a story with all the glossy 8x10s handed to them. The press was essentially told, in the case of Prince Harry, that if it kept secret the prince's military status, it would be rewarded with pictures, information, interviews and anything else it desired. Personally, this seems sort of corrupt. It's understandable that Harry would be a target, if his presence was widely known, and as a result his company could perhaps be in danger as well. So this secrecy of his presence was rightly kept covert. 

The whole problem with this scenario is that is shows just how easily bought and manipulated the press can be.
