MrAllen2K21 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Piers Morgan "storms off" GMB! Personally I think he should lose his job for this, it's not the first time he's had a public hissy fit on GMB and probably won't be the last! Thoughts?

Mister M Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I think Piers Morgan has gotten way too big for his boots. Rather than his guests and what they're saying being the focal point, whether it's politicians or whoever, it always seems to be about Morgan's reaction that's the focus of attention. Yes he's good at holding politicians to account, but sometimes I get sick and tired of his bragging and the big I am. 2 minutes ago, Kelvin Phlats said: It's a big con, news outlets are so under pressure from social media they have to keep doing something "off the wall". It's all staged, this is when the "news programme" became the "news". Gone are the days when they just put a newsreader up because the news is already out there and nobody would watch it. Thats why they put up with people like Morgan, Rigby, Burley, Kuenssberg, Maitliss, Newman. These people wouldn't have been so rude years ago but now they have to be. It's all about the figures. I think there is something in what you're saying, particularly about the news programme itself becoming the news. However I wouldn't lump Newman, Maitliss or Kuenssberg in with Morgan's style of interviewing. Morgan is more like Jeremy Paxman with the aggression ramped up, but without Paxman's forensic style.

HandsworthB Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 It's all fake, controvesy makes headlines, headlines make money, no one tunes in to watch the weather man or Susanna, thye tune in to see and hear whatever Piers is sounding off on this week, so they can be outraged, or offended.

abbeyedges Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) I like Piers Morgan. He asks the questions of politicians that the rest of us want answering unlike the insipid pair on BBC Breakfast who let the politicians off so lightly it's embarrassing. On behalf of the Excluded UK I'd love to see Sunak grow a pair and go on the show with Piers but unfortunately we have a spineless Chancellor who'll avoid it at all costs.

The pair on BBC are so insipid it's untrue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxman Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 He just trades on stuff like this, it's all a great act. If people just ignored him he'd go away...like that silly Fox bloke. I believe that children are our future. Unless we stop them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enntee Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Morgan is now leaving Good Morning Britain. Not sure if that means "as of tomorrow", but he's off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
