Piers Morgan axed

[gabi]

So. Yes, he's a cunt. Bit of an enigma really. But i quite like the fact he stuck it up the right wing americans for three years. I cant believe he was too left wing for their liking, says more about the US than him.

He'll be back on UK screens, im sure of that. Surely in front of a jury given his phone-hacking confessions.

I thought you all hated Piers Morgan: you should be happy.

 

[Fez909]

shame they didn't use an actual axe.

I quite liked watching him on CNN. I suppose he never went away from UK TV cos he was always flying back doing Piers Morgan's Life Stories. I'm sure he'll do other stuff at CNN or elsewhere in the US, he's quite well known, dislikeable though he is to many.

I can't stand the guy. Strangely in his dealings with interview subjects he came across as sympathetic a lot of the time. That is not the image he had in Britain before he left for the States.

I do hope that is sacking by CNN doesn't mean that he gets a high profile job here in the UK. He is quite a nasty piece of work in my opinion.

We don't want him. Any jobs going in Canada?

I was happy he was in the states

He's a charismatic character, ill give him that. Also highly intelligent. It would be a shame to lose him completely, but yeh - i hope he stays in the US and continues to tell them what a bunch of cunts they are.

This rather reptilian creature is a classic example of slithery as shit Red Top "facts-are-a-hinderance" sleeze maker
Never liked him
The advantage may be that having him return and being a mere stones throw away may induce more to actually throw stones at him

I didn't see any indication that he's vacating the US. Filling in for Larry King isn't the only job in US broadcasting.

Excellent news. Good luck Piers.

I am sure the fact he has been helping the met with their enquiries played no part in this.

Has KP started a twitter campaign? Couple of cunts.

They blamed matt prior for it I think. Big influence at CNN

 

[stupid dogbot]

One of those occasions where you wish the axe was literal, rather than metaphorical.

Misleading thread title, first disappointment of the week.

Why would it be a shame to lose him completely? Don't you remember his activities at the News of the World?

 

[gabi]

I really couldnt give a fuck if he hacked Paul McCartney's phone tbh. He never worked for News of the World either I don't think. He was hacking phones at the Mirror IIRC.

Telling yanks to put their guns away wasn't a great move for his career but a worthy one.

 

[pesh]

i thought he was good on CNN as i have no way of receiving the channel. now theres a risk he may move to a channel i can receive. not ideal.

He was editor of News of the World before he was editor of the Mirror.

 

[Yata]

how the hell anyone at cnn ever thought a snobby twat like him would ever connect with US audiences ill never know
saw his interview with de niro, i mean hes known for not liking interviews but he couldnt have failed harder if he tried. im sure hes great at indulging ego maniac celebs into opening up/bragging about their lives but give him a challenge and he just fails.

as for him speaking about gun laws, he saw a chance to earn himself some good PR and create a great excuse for bad ratings, thats it really.

that silly fat wanker will be back, this is just another chapter for his autobio
