Aw, Piers Morgan thinks people care about his opinion of ‘pointless’ and ‘irrelevant’ talk show ‘The View’

It’s always worth ing that when Piers Morgan was editor of the Daily Mirror newspaper in the U.K., he was implicated in a phone hacking scandal that received massive media attention due to the unprecedented scale of the allegations. Not only was this activity unlawful, it was highly unethical. Morgan denied any knowledge of the hacking during the Leveson Inquiry, but during a later trial involving Prince Harry, the judge accepted evidence “without hesitation” claiming Morgan knew about the phone hacking across multiple years and instances. Morgan continues to deny the claims, although, during the Mirror Group Newspapers trial, no legal argument was made by the MGN lawyers against them.

In his column, Morgan continues to attack the hosts of The View for their political discourse and opinions, going so far as to call for the show’s cancellation — despite being against “cancel culture” in his own words. Where he has legitimate points, the points are lost in his vitriol — doubly exasperating because the entire column is supposedly calling out the hosts’ own vitriolic hyperbole and hypocrisy.

In his writing about The View, Morgan has done exactly the same thing he is accusing the hosts of doing, as he contributes to an increasingly polarized political space where any sense of nuance is left behind in favor of attempts to belittle and minimize opposing viewpoints in service of a loyal base. Fighting what he calls a “farcical gesture of brazen bias” with a farcical gesture of brazen bias, Morgan delivers yet another opinion carefully designed to telegraph a particular view to position himself for the continuation of his grift as a social commentator. And it’s just as boring as the last time. And the time before that. And… well, you get it.
