Meghan doing an absolute job, but Morgan and the Royal Family are small time. It's time to cut the head off the snake - Rupert Murdoch

He'll end up on Andrew Neil's forthcoming GB News channel. Dude will unfortunately continue to get work.

Although for today at least, I'm glad he's suffering some consequences. He's a massive, insufferable, raging fucking shithead.

What's it going to take for people to stop using this fucking meme?
similar sentiments in meme for, done by someone less objectionable.

he's a helmet, but it's still one that resonates clearly and as long as the sentiments expressed in the meme themselves aren't toxic you're going to have trouble getting enough people to care. Though I'm sure the mods will ban it if enough stink is raised.

On topic though Megan derangement syndrome is wild. It's so easy not to give a fuck either way about what are essentially a souped up reality tv couple, but these frothing wankers love to disgrace themselves and have made her and they as a couple bigger cultural figures then they ever would have been had the UK media shown the slightest inclination of being able to control themselves.

Weirdly he was one of the only ones that was able to embarass this government, so it'll be sad to see that go even it doesn't outweight the rest of his existence.

Good, he's a cunt. I saw the clip of him storming off like a baby when being confronted about being a cunt too. Can give it but can't take it.

Hey, remember that time Piers Morgan launched a successful TV career after he hacked people's phones and published hoax photos? Haha, good times.

"He just tells it like it is!"

Clarkson wrote articles for right wing rag Sunday Times saying families should accept terrible free school meals during a pandemic and mass unemployment. It's a shame people still post that picture, and help paint this image of him being a cool, relatable figure, when he's anything but.

How long before he’s screaming ‘They’re trying to cancel meeeeeee’ on every right ring broadcaster that’ll have him? I’m going to guess he’s already started.

This is so typical of right wing bellends like him.
Spends all day talking trash, being a prick and calling people snowflakes.
Gets rightly called out and challenged in a perfectly reasonable response and he throws a tantrum.
Who's the snowflake now?

pathetic piece of shit. Should never be given a platform

Piers gonna take a huge pay drop if he goes to another news channel in the U.K. I’m not sure his ego could take it. Maybe America is his next destination.

I accidentally had the short version posted in the spoiler as well, I was half tempted to keep it that way.

Two right wing networks (one owned by Murdoch) are launching here in the next few months.

Unfortunately you feel that this was all staged so he could get out of his contract and go over there.

Truly the biggest stain on society - and one of the key figures in the hostility of the tabloids.
I see....

Just to make it even clearer:


Imagine having this tough no-nonsense public personality and then whining on twitter that a woman of colour is "attacking everything he holds dear" by... exposing racism and talking about her mental health.

Imagine being that pathetic

literally every news in the UK is some element of fox
well not exactly. Newspapers, talk radio and online sites are right wing dominated, but tv was the last medium that wasn't completely far gone. I can only hope that gb news doesn't usher that into write off territory too. Like shit fast food, we have pretty much exported the "do x to own the libs mentality" from the US so if GB news makes even a modest splash on the media landscape there'll be a backlash, and then it will end up quite big I think.

I haven’t been following it but what were the racist comments? I know he’s a cunt and has been critical of Meghan but did he say anything explicitly racist?

I’m not in any way trying to defend him I’m just wondering what he got away with saying on British TV.

He accused her of lying about her mental health problems.

Fuck Pierce Morgan, dude has been an asshole forever. Did he say something else I'm not aware off, OP says he's leaving because of racist comments. He called meghan a liar, not sure I would call that racist unless there is something else I'm missing.

The good news about these right wing channels is that largely it’ll only spread bile amongst those immovable gammons anyway, rather than spreading amongst the wider population.
