Say what you will about Piers Morgan, but the following interview is hard-hitting and apt. I can't imagine North American journalists going after someone in this manner.

A Hard Hitting Interview
Tuesday, March 9, 2021
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:
