if Charles doesn't like how he is portrayed in "The Crown" maybe he shouldn't have been so mean to Diana

 

-------------------- [excerpt] ------------ Harriet Rubin described Jackie's singular position at Doubleday..."She was there when the company was bought by the German firm, Bertelsmann....Jackie's presence kept the house resisting the tide toward schlock.  

The company that employed her had to maintain a classy presence in the marketplace or they'd lose her.  She was the last visible standard of highbrow in the company, maybe in the industry.  Nobody wanted Jackie resigning in a public relations huff....

Doubleday had a majority of, forgive me, idiot savants, editors who stepped into piles of golden shit or BS'd Alberto and so rose in the hierarchy.  

They don't know a colon from their colon.  

Quality scared them.  

Ideas scared them.  

Colleagues who were independent thinkers scared them.  

     The idiot savants won in the sense that their projects and style of publishing prevailed.  I hope your book deals with the dark side of publishing in which Jackie got caught.  The woes the news media now face were present first in book publishing."
