Piers Morgan’s new channel? Will it Trump (pun intended) GammonBox News?

[Bob Newhart]

You lost me at...

Piers Morgan’s new channel??

Lost me at 'Talk TV'. Would run away from anything to do with Piers Morgan especially if he Talks a lot.

[unc.si.]

quite ironic that a man who's built a 30+ year career being paid by Murdoch et al to express controversial views and shout down anyone who disagrees with him is now bleating on about free speech.

will probably watch it at some point (I try not to judge anything unless I've seen it), although suspect it will end up a sideshow for people that like getting angry about things

[forestfan]

Well, some people support free speech but also support being able to do what you like, from verbal abuse to physical violence, in response to others exercising their own right to free speech in a way that offends them/they mildly disagree with.

[unc.si.]

Well Morgan certainly has a history of being aggressive, angry, petulant and vindictive to anyone who holds views that aren’t the same as his.

Think he needs to take a long look in the mirror before he starts preaching about freedom of speech. It’s not really about that at all though, just publicity and $$$$$

His programme is on for an hour, it seemed longer tbh, I've never liked him but hold similar views to him on 1 or 2 subjects

Generally it looked professional with no major glitches, certainly knocked GB news off the park imho

[raoul]

Self-publicity on steroids.

I think he gets a bonus every time he says woke.

I loved it. As comedy, not news or current affairs.

[Guppings]

Tom Newton Dunn was on before him, had Boris live in the studio but it seems everyone so far is judging the channel entirely on Piers Morgan

Didn't watch much of the segment that followed Morgan, as Jeremy Kyle was on it & I dislike him more than Morgan

[RomynPG]

Just what the world needs - more Murdoch.

[forestfan]

An example of the quality debate on offer!

The turd Corbyn gets annoyed with Morgan

[Guppings]

in the above clip Corbyn's explanation for calling Hamas friends was at best disingenuous or to be less PC, fookiing liar

[plasticninja]

Our friends at Hamas and Hezbullah?

I know someone who wants to say hello.

[Guppings]

I wont get tired of pointing out that Starmer did his best to get this bag of shit elected PM

[Guppings]

I gather some news channels aren't naming the 2 Royals accused of being racist in this latest book?

Talk TV have via Piers Morgan & if the Forum rather the clip below is not played for 'some reason', delete please.

[blahblah]

They're in the public domain, so I don't think there is any issue

I've reported the post so the mods can decide - we should NOT come onto this forum and be subjected to pictures of Piers Morgan

[blahblah]

[Jester]

I am sorry to say that there are many precedents as to why the clip should be allowed - on this page alone I counted three that included Piers Morgan. There may be more but I couldn't take it so gave up.
Furthermore, if we have to put up with Corbyn I think PM has to be allowed.

Also, it's a clip of what someone else said, so I think we are on safe legal ground regards mentioning the royals involved.
I haven't closed the report because I think it's funnier left as it is for now!!

In reference top quote, the fact that some news channels aren't naming them made me wonder if there could be legal issues?

Just to be clear, the news channel who have stated they wouldn't name them was GB news

They didn't name them on HIGNFY last night, just slagged off Piers for being a massive hypocrite(/other things)

My opinion of Morgan would fall in the other things bracket but agreeing he's a massive self opiniated chap. However, he does occasionally have have guest on that discuss interesting, at least to me, subjects & its their opinions I want to hear, hearing his is unavoidable.

Guns and cricket are the two things he talks sense on!

[Jester]

Guns and cricket are the two things he talks sense on!

Does he advocate their use?
Who would be carrying, the umpires without doubt but surely not the players....?!!

Depends if the opposition are armed with sandpaper or bottle-tops

BBC article

report closed

[Guppings]

I stumbled accross the tail end of an interview with Scobie on ITV yesterday, certainly not investigating journalist, 2 clowns sat on a sofa being very nice to this shithead

Morgan was ranting about what he claims were lies Scobie had written about him in this book, calling Scobie a LIAR on more than one occasion. I wont post the youtube proof, another sighting of Morgan would send Murfs blood pressure through the roof

But

Here's a link for anyone who wants to view it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HToB-SRD6kQ
