The ever-pompous Piers Morgan gets canned.

[Classic]

Awwwww. How unfortunate for poor Piers. Smoked by the Free Market.

 

[Sylvain]

Good. He's a major asshat. With any luck he'll be going back to where he came from.

 

[level.eleven]

eh, I'm under the impression that people in the media that lie should be immediately removed, with all media credentials revoked for life.

Perhaps monitors in these agencies to make sure the truth is being told?

Sir, you have linked to the Monnie-Times on several occasions. Pot-Kettle?

 

[pudly]

Go back home if they'll have you. Cause we've had as much of you as we care to.

With any luck he'll be going back to where he came from.

Doubtful. He still has problems with a phone-hacking investigation from when he was editor for the Daily Mirror in England. Also, he really wasn't liked very much there either and there was even a petition to keep him from being deported back to the U.K. at one point.

 

[SkullDaddy.45]

BUH-BYE!

 

[The Bubba Effect]

Ted Nugent: 1
Piers Morgan: Done

 

[jbombelli]

Well... bye.

I don't know what the solution is to media dishonesty and general hackery. I don't know how to make these people accountable for the bull**** they spread aside from calling them out publicly... and maybe that's all we can do.

People that willingly and knowingly lie, on air or in print, to the people... should be removed. Period.

I know it's not likely that'd ever happen... but I see the media as the biggest enemy to American freedom.

 

[spencer rifle]

I remember from journalism class that an error in fact was an automatic F. Ivory tower thinking, I guess.

 

[Archer]

Thank god...now let's hope he gets prosecuted back in England for hacking e-mails

 

[rgrimm01]

I didn't like the guy but it's a shame to shut these people down. It's good to keep them out there and talking so people have a choice.

I did not care for his propensity to call his guests "a stupid little man" when the interview was not going his way. It is one thing to have a differing point of view and quite another to result to insults.

 

[Trooper]

All over FB yesterday. CNN and MSNBC are only being propped up by the ad agencies giving them business (lots of leftwingers in the departments that do media buys). Rush pointed out that it is advertising that guarantees that so many people will see it. Thus they do not care if any one channel has low viewership.

 

[ghuns]

Maybe they could hire Jeremy Clarkson to take his place.

 

[Hopper]

Doubtful. He still has problems with a phone-hacking investigation from when he was editor for the Daily Mirror in England. Also, he really wasn't liked very much there either and there was even a petition to keep him from being deported back to the U.K. at one point.

Exactly. The UK doesn't want him back either. But I can't deny that this made my day! I'll have to try to catch The Dana Show on WIBC today to see if she says anything about it. Hey, there's a thought... wonder if they might pick up Dana Loesch instead, assuming they could pry her away from Beck's clutches? I seem to recall Morgan's producers mentioning something about being in touch with Dana after one of their pissing matches.

 

[Expat]

But I will miss some of his Facebook memes...
He was so easy to make fun of.

How long does he have to gain new employment before he gets deported?

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Constantly reminded of him calling out Megyn Kelly when she got her time-slot.

I guess you can say she "brought it."

Funny how people fill in the blanks with their own biases. Subtle insinuation of hypocrisy notwithstanding, it's interesting that you'd think of putting monitors in these agencies. Heck. I thought he was expressing more a desire that the industry would hold itself accountable.

 

[BigBoxaJunk]

I know it's not likely that'd ever happen... but I see the media as the biggest enemy to American freedom.

See, I go at it from the other direction. I think that we need way more people in the media telling more and more outrageous lies. That way, maybe there would be fewer and fewer morons who believe everything the media tells them (I mean the media on THEIR side). Because the morons who believe everything the media tells them are, in my mind the biggest enemy to American Freedom, but the thing is, that's been happening since before the printing press.

 

[Birds Away]

They could replace him with me, but I would be hard pressed to pull off the ignorant part

Don't sell yourself short.

 

[JeremiahJohnson]

So, to recap:

He's terrible at fabricating news in the UK - Fired.

He's terrible at mis-informing about news in the US - Fired.

What's next? Congress? Wouldn't surprise me. I'm hoping he and Alec Baldwin disappear and share an appartment somewhere.
