Not only that, he was also a scoundrel corrupt insider trader: “Once, when Morgan knew that the financial section of his newspaper was going to write a glowing review of a technology company, Morgan took over $100,000 and invested it in that company’s stock, with the inside knowledge that his paper would promote it.”

Piers Morgan was fired by the Mirror on May 14, 2004.
Why did you date the article December 21, 2012?
To: SWAMPSNIPER
- Piers Morgan (2007-2010); former editor of the Daily Mirror; left after the 2010 series to build his career in America
- Morgan is dubbed "Piers Moron" by Private Eye as Ian Hislop has a long-standing feud with him, was actually sacked by the paper after running pictures purporting to show Iraqis being abused by British troops. That were in fact mocked up in the UK. Military commentators spotted errors very quickly.
- Morgan is probably the least popular man on British TV. Stephen Fry the most cuddly man in the world defined "countryside" as killing Piers Morgan on I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, and angry environmentalists say of Jeremy Clarkson "but he did punch Piers Morgan".

The article leads one to believe Morgan was involved directly in the hoax and refused to appologise. Not hard to believe.

Piers Morgan is a joke in England. Seriously, the exact equivalent would be for us to send the Brits David Hasselhoff to do their news shows. In fact Piers and David worked on that talent game show together with Sharon Osborn.

BUMP
Morgan is a scumbag.
To: Casie; All
Someone actually posted this link on Morgan's Facebook page, I wonder how long it will be there?
I made a screen capture of the whole page, just in case it gets lost.

Morgan is also extremely rude to his guests, thinks he knows it all (i.e. arrogant), and has brought CNN down lower in public opinion than it has been before.
Makes Anderson Cooper seem like the best that they have (not much competition, though).
