Piers Morgan

[Cherry13]

He's had worse back and forth's than he had today. Either contrived or angled by him so he could get out of his contract.

This was my thought, reckon he’s contrived a situation where by he’s ‘cancelled’, he then moves over to one of the new channels GBN or the other, and he becomes the face of anti-woke culture. If pulls it off it’s quite a clever move really.

I’m still shocked even after watching Suits all those years that Meghan is half black. ?
It’s clear the child will be predominantly white, there’s no fighting Harry’s ginger genes, it should never have been a concern so if I was Meghan I’d find it questioned in the wrong manner.

But he’ll be back on the TV. We need people like him to ask the tough questions and as said above be anti “woke”/ anti nimby.

 

[SocketRocket]

It's just the popular media, all BS and thriving on the gullible. Ignore it and don't let the whole circus pull your strings.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

I don't think I have watched any show that he has been on.

 

[SteveJay]

I never really thought much of Markle, but actually she has gone up in my estimations...............she is actually quite a good actress .

Never liked Morgan, but he doesi actually make interviewees squirm a bit and force them to answer tough questions, which is something that is needed in this day and age.

 

[Deleted member 16999]

Not aimed at any one poster, but all these comments about how he gets answers and makes interviewees squirm, can anyone show or give an example of an answer he’s been given that has changed anything.

I’ve always found him to be a bully who shouts down and talks over people preventing them from fully answering a question, especially when it’s not the answer he wanted.

He should of also gone to prison when he knew about phones being hacked and he never told the Police and then when he published the fake photos of POW’s being tortured in Iraq which putting Brtitish Soldiers lives on the line.

Utter scum bag!

Hearing Susana Reid @ the start of the programme today was an utter joke. Sure you know how presenters speak when they are commentating on a State Funeral, being sincere. Well I thought there was a death. Morgan knows what he is doing and s Paul states, absolute bully and need to learn how to listen when interviewing people.

Objectionable person who feels he is wrong

I don’t understand so many complaining about the red top media and yet willing to give this man attention and their time.
I always go on the principle that if you starve a fire of oxygen it will go out.
I don’t touch red top media or anyone to do with them.

 

[rudebhoy]

Can't stand the bloke. watched him interview Rupert Everett recently and his fake over the top laughing at his own "jokes" was ultra annoying.

I do give him some credit for giving politicians a hard time over the response to the pandemic. He was the only one to do so, but I do think that only came out of a mixture of him being annoyed that Johnson refused to appear on his show, and him spotting a gap in the market.

When he’s on ITV, BBC and Sky News it’s more than red top media and ignoring them.

He is entitled to his opinion which is all he said it was.

Reports suggest that the Sussex's complained to ITV.

Imo freedom of speech is the casualty

 

[Dando]

My biggest concern is that his golf club is selling out to the AELTC and he will be looking for a new home, and mine is a little too close for comfort.

A couple of sliced drives should do the trick mate.
Let me know when you want me to come over

So her freedom of speech is to be called a liar while his is defended! And then walks off when he doesn’t like someone else expressing their freedom of speech.

 

[Deleted member 1147]

I get the impression that a large part of the itv decision was related to their current “speaking about mental health” campaign.
On one hand they’re encouraging people to speak up, and on the other hand your top morning presenter is telling the world he doesn’t believe someone who has spoken up.
Doesn’t look good!

When it comes to voicing an opinion there also needs to be some responsibility

Freedom of speech doesn’t mean you can say what you like without repercussions

He accused someone of lying about mentally struggling and having suicide thoughts - regardless of what someone’s opinion is you shouldn’t be voicing that across the national media

What do you think people who are struggling mentally are going to think about that - it would just make people hide away

Someone has spoken out freely about having suicide thoughts - and he shut it down

All because he was cut off by them because of the way he spoke about them.

This is also the same main who allowed faked POW abuse pictures to be published and was involved in phone hacking - he has zero morals

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Unfortunately a lot of people watch; listen to; and take a lead in forming their views, from such as Morgan. And hearing Morgan expressing his views gives some - in their thinking - the right to express such views generally and more specifically in their own contexts and circles.

End of day he won't notice it much
Still makes a fortune from the mail

Will get another slot I'm sure

Shame but way world works

Very well said.

Not so long ago we lost Caroline Flack to suicide following being crucified by the media.

“Be kind” was the tag line following her death.

Received some sad news the other day and was chatting with some mates on whatsapp when one them posted the following below, he summed up what I was thinking but couldn’t put in to words:

“I was told some incredibly sad news the other day. Yet another one of ‘The Lads’, has succumbed and completed suicide. I’m gutted to say the least and truly concerned; too many of my former colleagues have made this ultimate decision.

I’m not writing this to have some sort of distant vicarious association with grief or to have ‘sorry for your loss’ accompanying messages of condolence; indeed, they are not mine to have. I am writing because I genuinely want to let every single person that knows me, that I am here in whatever small way that I can be, to try and help. There is much to be taken from the phrase: “I would rather listen to your concerns now...than read your obituary later on”.

People can be strange and complex at times, or simple and expressive at other times, yet each can be accompanied with indecipherable levels of fragility. Please be mindful that we do not know what is going on in people’s heads, from one minute to the next, and all I ask is that you take the default response and express kindness and understanding. I am as guilty as the next for writing or saying or behaving without applying the correct level of thought…especially about the potential affect doing so may have. Think on!

Look after what you have and who you’ve got.

RiP big man, reserve a seat at the bar of the final RV for me.”

Bought his book a few years ago 'Misadventures of a big mouth Brit.'
Soon found its way into my shed then the bin.
Born in Surrey to an Irish family as Piers O'Meara he's a Brit when it suits him and Irish too when that suits him.
