I 💓 Piers Morgan

Well, more the discussions on his YouTube channel, I watch them most nights. I seem to pretty much agree with most things he says and don’t think he’s that bad. I realise most people (I think) don’t feel like this, is there something wrong with me? When I told my mum, she said ‘Eww, he’s awful, I hate his voice’ 😬

Anyone else find the YouTube channel discussions interesting? I’m quite addicted

Piers Morgan is a cunt.

Publishing fake photos of British soldiers abusing Iraqis, he should never been allowed to work in media again following being fired from the Mirror.

His actions put the troops on the ground at far greater risk purely for his personal gain

I wouldn't spit on Piers Morgan if he was on fire.

He is a spineless, morally bankrupt, talentless waste of skin who represents everything that's wrong with the British media.

I'd like to disagree with this but I can't find anything to disagree with
👍🏻

Towishiknewthenwhatiknownow · 25/05/2025 09:58

Ohhhh….ok…didn’t realise he actually was awful in real life

He’s a bully. Adults who bully people are so embarrassing to watch in action, especially when enabled by sycophants. That’s what happened in this case, in multiple settings. I really think anyone who likes him from TV who saw people like him operate in private would feel the same as those of us who dislike him for that reason alone.

Absolutely all of this.

He should never have worked again after what he did to British soldiers. His brother is an officer in the British Army, too, yet he still thought it was ok to blatantly lie and put the troops on the ground in more danger than they already were. Then, there’s the phone hacking, he should have gone to prison for that.

He’s a nasty, vile cunt.

I am not a fan of Piers, he just blows with the wind.

Towishiknewthenwhatiknownow · 24/05/2025 23:16

Yay, someone else 👏

I think back in the day, I wasn’t so keen, but he just has mainly measured, sensible viewpoints, I don’t get the hate

Try looking at his past career.
Man's a shit.

It’s the connection to the hacking of Milly Dowler’s phone and the surveillance of her family that make many of us distrust and dislike Piers Morgan.

’Milly Dowler and her family were allegedly targeted by The Sunday People in 2002, when Piers Morgan was the most powerful news executive in the Mirror Group stable, and editor of its sister paper, the Daily Mirror.
The allegations raise questions about whether similar illegal checks were carried-out on the Dowlers by the Daily Mirror and Sunday Mirror, given that a High Court judgment in 2015 found industrial-scale hacking was widespread at both titles.
Piers Morgan has always issued carefully worded denials that he ever hacked phones himself, or formally asked anyone to do so.
The Good Morning Britain presenter also claims that he didn’t know hacking was going-on, even though mass interceptions were orchestrated by some of his closest colleagues.
Hundreds of thousands of pounds were spent on illegal PIs by his news desk and his reporters.
However, commentators have pointed out that, if he did not know the real source of some of the biggest stories that he published, then he was the most incompetent editor ever to work in the British newspaper industry.’

I’ve met him a number of times and my partner used to work with him. He’s a cunt.

Love this 😂

micantspelljack · 24/05/2025 23:20

he is flacid.... grey.....arrogant.......a bully.......quite revolting..... if he was a ordinary guy down the pub he would be the local creep... in fact he is a creep..... i wish there was a swarm of electronic bees near him....... lol

I have twice had the misfortune to be in the same pub as him. He's a pompous, braying bore.

The second time, we had one drink and left to have our lunch in the other pub in the village.

Agree that is why I won't watch anything he does.

Thepeopleversuswork · 25/05/2025 11:51

@BatchCookBabe

It's because he's a bit right of centre. That's the only reason 'some' people loathe him. He's not left wing, he's not PC, he hates 'wokery,' he doesn't play by the rules, he doesn't give a shit about saying the 'right thing,' and some people can't handle that. See also: Jeremy Clarkson. I like him too! 😆

I knew someone would come out with this dog whistle horseshit. It's not why most people don't like him, trust me.

I have come across him in a professional capacity and he's a vain, thin-skinned, arrogant bully who talks to people who work for him like shit. He threatened me personally once. He cheated on his first wife in a very public way which was massively humiliating to her and went on for several years. He's built a career on sucking up to people in power to get access to them (see Trump).

The comparison with Jeremy Clarkson is misleading. Clarkson is also Marmite and I don't agree with most of his politics but he's capable of treating people like human beings and has a bit of intellectual rigour to him.

People who are right of centre often struggle to understand that people who are left of centre are capable of appreciating different views from their own if they are argued sensibly and in non-inflammatory language.

Clarkson can do this. Morgan is just a cunt.

FreezeDriedStrawberries · 25/05/2025 11:53

I used to like him, he seemed to be the only person around who did "old style" journalism - ie, question both sides of a discussion.
Now he just seems to have sold himself into "click bait hate rage" and comes across deranged.
Will never forget the time he stormed off set because he couldn't take the weatherman (Alex) disagreeing with him.
Was the most hypocritical, biggest man baby tantrum ever 😂
Completely lost whatever shred of respect I had after that 😁

JMSA · 25/05/2025 11:57

He always looks like there’s something foul-smelling under his nose.

dontcomeatme · 25/05/2025 11:59

I also 💖 Piers Morgan, always have!

Hotflushesandchilblains · 25/05/2025 12:00

He is an experienced journalist and can be a good interviewer. But he has no discernible morals, has too much of a tendency to say things that are outrageous to get reactions and seems to be incredibly egotistical and thin skinned. I know many people do not like Meghan Markle, and she does not seem to be a perfect person, but he was unhinged when discussing her.

Totally agree
All that ‘tells it like it is ‘ nonsense that some attribute to Piers Morgan …. The truth is that Piers is not very bright hence his annoying habit of verbally browbeating people into submission instead of using intellect to challenge them.
I can just imagine him getting into one big sweaty huff when the weatherman challenged him. He probably went to his bosses and said ‘either he goes or I do ‘ . Prick
His arrogance and stupidity lost him the cushy GMB gig.

Thepeopleversuswork · 25/05/2025 13:01

@Lampzade

Yep. It's a fairly safe assumption whenever someone is celebrated for "telling it like it is" its by the sorts of people who enjoy watching bullying on TV.

I don't actually think Piers Morgan is thick, I think he's very cunning and cynical and knows exactly how to speak to the sorts of people who think he's "telling it like it is" (of whom there are a few on here". He's seen you lot coming a mile off.

But he is utterly spineless, as per the incident with the weatherman.

Towishiknewthenwhatiknownow · 25/05/2025 13:31

He’s definitely not thick…!

Americano75 · 25/05/2025 13:34

I think he and his wife are well suited judging by some of the things she's said. He's a vicious bully, with zero morals or ethics. I was glad when he flounced from GMB, he spent the entire time shouting over people including the far more accomplished Susanna. I agree with a couple of his opinions but then even a broken clock gets the time right twice a day.

Roxietrees · 25/05/2025 13:45

Towishiknewthenwhatiknownow · 25/05/2025 12:17

I know, and he is punching big time. “Gorgeous” people are still shallow, materialistic bigots who are impressed by perceived “power”

itsgettingweird · 25/05/2025 13:51

I use to like him. I lived watching life stories.

them lockdown happened and his stint in GMB.

He showed himself as an arrogant self centered cunt who cares more about his ratings than “the truth”.

He may have changed again but I won’t be watching or listening to him to find out.

CeaselesslyIntoThePast · 25/05/2025 13:58

He was very good with Baby Reindeer’s Fiona H. Great interview.
