UPDATED: Piers Has A Moment

It must be hard to be Piers Morgan. The erstwhile CNN host, now a presenter on Good Morning Britain, loves to level caustic criticism at any number of targets, his latest being Meghan Markle. And no matter how you feel about the Oprah interview the another night, you will have to agree that the following shows Morgan to be both hypocritical and thin-skinned, the latter of course being one of the classic markers for bullies.

Piers Morgan stormed off the set of Good Morning Britain on Tuesday after his co-presenter, Alex Beresford, criticised the way he “continues to trash” the Duchess of Sussex.

His co-host, Susanna Reid, was forced to send the ITV show to an early break after the row boiled over and Morgan walked off live on air. Beresford called his behaviour “pathetic” and “diabolical”.

The GMB weather presenter Beresford later tweeted of the incident: “I wish I had the privilege to sit on the fence. In order for me to do that I would have to strip myself of my identity and that’s not something I can do. It’s not any of our places to pick apart claims of racism in order to make us to feel more comfortable.”

Here is the video of Morgan's shameful behaviour:



UPDATE: Apparently as a result of the furor provoked by his questioning of Markle's veracity, Piers Morgan has resigned from Good Morning Britain.

  1. Morgan is at least a bit of an ass, but I'd like to know the source in the girl's claim that she was told her yet to be born child wouldn't be accorded the royal treatment. We'll probably find out that it was just a snotty remark that Kate threw at her while they were in the process of determining their relative places in the palace pecking order.

    1. I. too, have questions about Meghan and 'her truth,' John. Nonetheless, that doesn't excuse Morgan's behaviour.

  2. .. It may be hard to believe, but I have less interest in Piers.. than the bed servants of the entire 'Royal Family'. Pomp n Ceremony.. somewhere in the matrix of Kardashians, Trumps or King Tut.. Or Moses lurking in the bullrushers. If caught studying the astonishing cleavage of a female People Magazine 'personality' at a grocery store cashier lineup I would expect a throat punch from 'the boss' and/or a vicious backhand of celery stalks to my head. Thus Piers Somebody is a fly in a dairy farm milking parlour

    1. There is an interesting piece on the monarchy you might find of interest on the NYT, Sal. And indeed, Piers really is the fifth wheel in all of this: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/09/opinion/meghan-harry-abolish-monarchy.html?action=click&module=Opinion&pgtype=Homepage
