Piers Morgan storms off set after being called out by Alex, the GMB weatherman, on his behaviour

[chomalungma]

And his obsession with Meghan Markle.

Good. Piers Morgan is obsessed with her. And Alex called it right.

I would love her to come out with her side of the story about PM and send his 'career' to the mortuary, where it belongs. Maybe an Oprah, part 2

OMG
Akala for next mayor of London - pleeeeeeese

Piers does cause strong feelings, you either agree or you dont, i do admire him for speaking his mind , so unusual in this day and age where whatever you say or do with offend someone, he is never boring and,in the most part ,i agree with him

i do admire him for speaking his mind , so unusual in this day and age I don't admire someone for speaking their mind, it takes no courage to say stupid and hateful things. In fact, it takes courage and restraint, and maturity, not to say the first thing that enters your head. I've noticed it's the ignorant asses with no sense of self awareness who are most quick to run their mouths. A lack of self awareness is the issue, not 'courage'. Also, I read and hear people say 'people are too afraid to speak', yet, all evidence to the contrary! I don't see anyone silenced; if you look at mainstream media which is all about spreading malicious gossip and hate as fact and creating hysteria, or social media such as Facebook and Twitter, there is NO SHORTAGE of people running their mouths stating in no uncertain terms what they think. These days, you can't escape mouthy people saying exactly what they think.

he is never boring
Neither are bullies. Neither are racists. If your measurement is if someone is 'boring' or not, that's very low, and very, very sad. I'd rather someone a bit 'boring' who is intelligent, well-spoken, fair, compassionate and who gets their message across without the hysteria or hyperbole. I prefer intellect and compassion over hysterical, mouthy, arrogance but 'non-boring'.

Funny thing about being silenced, is that you're silent. No one knows what you have to say. After the fallout from MM and H a few people have lost their jobs and there has been a more than a few fights on screen and more than a few people branded as racist because they don't believe what MM has said.
I don't like PM, he can give me a headache. However after watching her interview the first thing I did (along with more than a million people) was to watch GMB in the hope that someone, anyone would call her out. He did a lot of shouting but then so did others and myself too at the screen. But that was the point of the interview wasn't it, to create controversy, to create a vehicle to massively raise her profile in the American Market.

It could have been wanting to get her views across to a US audience who have access to UK media headlines who have been racist and sexist imv.

I can't do links but Sharon Osbourne s show has been halted for investigation over the hoha she caused also in 2018 she said MM wasn't "black black" on air in front of people

Here you are Mrsjayy

Oh dear. I expect she's feeling panicked, blindsided and defensive all over again now. Hmm. She and PM make a great pair, two shouty and overwheening egos. They'd never get through a doorway together.

Interestingly some of the UK media headlines she referenced in the Oprah interview were actually US media headlines, no less racist or sexist.

i am so glad that Piers is not following all the wokers, out there, too many are scared to say or do in case someone somewhere is offended , good on you Piers, tell it like it is

The press needs brave journalists willing to speak "against the crowd" but there is no doubt , imho, that PM went way over the top and allowed personal and unprofessional bias to get in the way of his reporting of issues relating to MM , probably because his ego could not handle being , as he saw it, "slighted" by MM.

And , as discussed down thread, imho, having seen the footage again this morning, I think him walking off set was in all likelihood staged which probably served to cover all bases for ITV bosses once they realised they could be in danger of being accused of racist bias after the Oprah interview was aired. And, as others have said, PM was probably preparing to leave anyway to pursue other projects.

The irony is that he criticises MM for falling out with people and moving on abruptly but if you look at his Wikipedia page and the litany of incidents where he was sacked, reprimanded, and had to leave various jobs owing to dubious practices - let's not forget his involvement in the hacking scandal of the late Millie Dowler's phone, his association with Max Clifford, and his part in the Viglen share scandal to name but a few - he has done far worse than anything he has accused MM of doing!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piers_Morgan

Besides which, MM was probably instructed to close all SM accounts and press contacts by the Palace PR machine once she became engaged. So her cutting him off was probably more of a natural consequence of joining the RF rather than a personal slight as he chooses to frame it.

Except Piers scarpered in tears when someone calmly challenged him, so he seems pretty scared to me. He also doesn't tell it like it is for me, as I am not a slighted misogynist.

'Wokers'. That's a new one. There's nothing like a man virtually harrassing a woman for years for a 'woker' to get annoyed about it is there?

Gosh

Oh dearie me I don't really know what to say saracarona

Yes!

I'm thinking a lie down with a damp flannel on the forehead might help...

So much hate and overinvestment in the life of 2 strangers in that post. Sad really.

Wow so much negativity for people who you do not know and never will.

Yes be glad that this man is verbally abusing this woman at every chance that he can, who has done nothing to him. Says a lot about you.

So sad 🙈🙈🙈

I really don't understand how people can hate and spew bile about someone they've never even met, seems a lot of folks are very easily influenced by the gutter press.
Such hatred is unhealthy

How great would it be if people used all that fire in their belly for good, instead of attacking an - expectant - woman/couple who, for all their advantages, are still living with mental health difficulties, racism, misogyny and family breakdown.

A cage is still a cage, even when gilded.

Ahh well, I give up! Gaslighting for the masses! I'm having my dinner and catching up on American Gods.
