The Mirror board said Morgan would be stepping down immediately Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan has been sacked after the newspaper conceded photos of British soldiers abusing an Iraqi were fake.

So what you’re saying is that the Daily Mirror has more integrity than CNN?

Piers Morgan is a twit. Can I say twit, can’t I?

LOL! I hope so! 'Ignorant twit' it my usual label for these socialist wankers who don't have enough bloody sense to stay in their own country where everyone already hates their hyper-liberal guts!

Wasn’t piers also editor during the phone-hacking scandal?

IIRC, he lives in the US because there's an outstanding criminal warrant for him in the UK for that.

He’s a total t*t. Hey if you guys want any more dirt on Morgan talk to us Brit freepers. We had to put up with him for years before he escaped to US interviewer land.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Bring it on, people are posting it on his Facebook page.

It’s too bad Jeremy Clarkson can’t really throw a HARD Right Cross!
I’ll pray some true American can do better.

Hey, if you have more tidbits on the Brit Twit, let us have 'em. Every little bit helps.

We have enough arrogant socialists in the U.S. media without CNN importing them and stuffing them and their dangerous propaganda down our throats in prime time.
