Piers Morgan is an idiot

I've always thought that, but to assert there is some sort of equivalency between Mitt's continual flip flopping and Obama on Gitmo is absurd. And how are those idiots on Morgan's show believing that Mitt has suddenly become a moderate?

Foreigners are weird on politics unless they've lived here a long time. Piers doesn't get it. He's nothing but a tabloid guy.

when I checked a couple of months ago. I wanted him to be tanking because I want them to get someone else in that spot.

He was duped by fake photos of British troops mistreating Iraqis. I wasn't the only one who had one look at them and said they are fake. He published them in the Daily Mirror and stood by them day after day when all around him said they were fake. He had to resign. But there again, compare that to what goes on at Fox News. Why haven't the entire Fox News team resigned yet?

no one who isn't in the right-wing bubble expects them to be accurate anymore. I don't know how they get away with it. I think they should be sued for false advertising for calling themselves news.

No, Morgan isn't as bad as Fox, but I never watch Fox.
