Piers Morgan is a c*nt

I have never liked Piers Morgan. I abhor his interviewing ‘style’. He’s always stunk of privilege and old British colonialism. Every word that slid from his slimy face felt like it came from a man who was comfortable in his position in the British state. He has been built up, presumably by some of his friends in the ruling class, as some sort of one-man opposition. He acquired great acclaim because of his opposition to the illegal invasion of Iraq, during which he lost his job as editor of the Daily Mirror. He was sacked because pictures depicting the torture of Iraqi prisoners by soldiers serving in Iraq were proven to be fakes, with the paper issuing a grovelling apology. Piers Morgan, as editor, was asked to make his own apology, which he refused outright. Piers’ refusal to apologise cost him his job. Whether or not they were really faked is immaterial as many more pictures of abuses came out later on, which is just ‘horses for courses’ in these imperialist wars. I don’t believe it was some sort of moral standpoint that made Piers take his stance, but more his ego that wouldn’t allow him to back down. Amusingly, it has been said he applied to be part of Donald Trump’s staff when he was President, so a letter in the Liverpool Echo newspaper declares. It’s quite fitting, because he’s of that modern-styled state ‘rogue’ ilk – like Trump, Jordan Peterson, Tucker Carlson, and Paul Mason. They portray themselves as some sort of renegade – an antagonist to the establishment when in reality they are as much a part of it as Tony Blair or Joe Biden.

Once again, Morgan was ridiculously heralded as a challenger to the establishment during the Covid years, where he was a co-host on Good Morning Britain, at which time he was championed as holding the Tories to account over their cack-handed response to the pandemic. ‘Controlled opposition’ is a more apt way of describing it. He was allowed a platform and access to high-ranking Conservative ministers, where he was able to provoke them over negligible issues. He would never have had that free rein if he was truly an opponent to British capitalism. Compare the treatment of Morgan to that of Julian Assange, who had to create a platform and has lost his freedom because of it, whereas Morgan was allowed to effect his influence in tabloid newspapers or pontificate in tabloid-like TV programmes and, at worst, he only lost a job or two.

The one good thing about Morgan’s time on Good Morning Britain was watching Matt Hancock attempt to fake crying live on TV, a moment so cringe-worthy it could have been a David Brent skit.

He now plies his ‘trade’ at the awful Talk TV., the same outlet which slammed the result of the Rochdale by-election over the winning candidate’s ‘obsession’ with Gaza. Piers Morgan has also been a part of the rhetoric which constantly denies that there is a genocide happening in Gaza and using his platform to discredit prominent supporters of the Palestinian resistance.  His constant drum beat of “Do you support Hamas?” was described best by Lowkey when he spoke of Pier’s attempts to create a moral monster.

Piers Morgan has never been denied a mainstream role. From 2005 to today, he would be seen on one channel or another. No meaningful member of state has actually feared being taken to account by Piers. They flock to him like pigeons did in his role in Home Alone.

Piers Morgan has worked in tacky tabloid newspapers and god-awful tv shows for years now, with his ego leading the way in every interview or monologue. He is a hack journalist whose only interest is furthering himself. You don’t need to tap his phone to know that.
