Piers Morgan

Ancient Citizen said:
I have said there's many things I can agree with him on, but not this, he's virtually placed himself
as the only spokesman who will hold the govt to account, and his massively bloated ego has taken over.
I now see no reason for politicians, of any colour to go on the show,when all they get faced with
are a series of prepared attacks that he demands, incessantly, to be given a yes or no answer to,
combined with the inevitable interruption when they've outlined their response to the very first point
raised, and have no opportunity to address the rest, as his subsequent rant lasts about 5 minutes.
I hate bans, have an inbuilt aversion to them, but as a political interviewer, he's shit, stick to
the real lives celebrity stuff Piers.

normally i would agree (never been a fan of morgan), but who else is asking the hard questions while Parliament is closed?

and after watching a lot of those interviews, the politician in question gets talked over because they are either dodging the question or repeating generic bullshit that informs nobody what the fuck is going on, and how they are going to solve it. this is the moment the politicians should be acting, not "ramping up" stuff for 75 days!!

if you want easy relaxed questioning then i suggest you watch the BBC news reporters attempts - pitiful
 
Helen Whateley got what was coming to her.
Every time she has been on TV, before Morgan’s interview, she has been the same sneering Tory know all arse.
 
Watched Piers this am and his 41k dead figure really upset me , easy pickings re the incompetent care minister , he then gave largely uninterrupted coverage to his old buddy Blair . Then saw Kier Starmer politely raise issues Piers has for some time. I still can't stand Morgan but someone clearly needed to ruffle feathers re care home deaths.

I’ve felt that for years. This isn’t a Piers issue, all News presenters do it. BBC News, Newsnight, Andrew Marr, GMB, Peston, Sky News...

I can’t remember the last time I saw a politician interviewed on tele and them be allowed to answer any question without being interrupted.

May as well not give any interviews to them because we learn absolutely nothing. Just stick to BBC Parliament in the Commons where they can talk without stupid interruptions.

Louise Minchin interviewed Helen Whatley on BBC breakfast without interrupting once today.

Refreshing.

As I have outlined, it's impossible for any politician to shine, with him interviewing.
If I could be bothered, I could put up proof of this with his interviews with Labour/Liberal
representatives, check them out.

Emily Thornberry gave as good as she got before the election. Can’t think of any others that did.
 
Good old piers had tony Blair in today
Asked him did he attend every cobra meeting during foot and mouth crisis.
Seemed gutted when Blair said he couldn’t remember (politician speak for like fuck did I) he then followed up by saying it was not unusual for a pm not to attend
He really is fucked when he lets someone answer a question and it’s not the answer he wants
Hence tomorrow he’ll be interrupting again.
 
Hahahahaha remember that time 2 seasons ago I think it was ,he ended up having to wear a spurs top after losing a bet and was making the draw I think for the next round might have been the caraboa cup,he’d a face like a slapped arse ..
 
dodgy past activities from Morgan BUT..... most of the current ire is based on the savaging he is giving Govt ministers. If the Govt can't be arsed to put people up for cross examination who know their brief and have decent answers then they can expect events like the last couple of mornings to occur. Clearly Clarke and Whately just thought it was a matter of trotting up and spouting pre-prepared speeches and were woefully out of their depth when surprise surprise the questioners didn't toe the line. Does no-one in Tory HQ remember the likes of Paxman?

When I did motor claims for AXA I handled an accident she was at fault for. You couldn't tell her anything and during each telephone conversation she would say "do you know who you are dealing with here". To which I usually responded "no idea".

I’d have put her on hold every time she ever said that. She’d soon get the point.

I am on his side in his covid crusade, he's 100% right, but I'd knock him out if I'd be some of his guests. Go home and yell on your wife you twat. Politicians are cunts, but they accepted your invitation to answer some questions, they lie and you should hold them to account, but there is a way to do it. He'd get headbutted on a street 5 times a day doing that.

Wish I could like this an infinite number of times.

This is totally correct for me.
