That said, what the British tabloids and Morgan have done is make me feel sorry for Meghan and Harry. Had they stopped writing about them, we would all have forgotten about them.

They were almost forgotten, that's why they did the Oprah interview, because they want to be in the spotlight, regardless of their claims that they left the UK because of the media.

Playing the race card got them some bonus points. I know of one person in the British royal family of which there is pictured evidence he is a racist.

I would post the picture evidence, but it has been removed from another thread, but anyone with a working brain will remember which event, and who, I'm talking about

If you look at Megan's eye makeup for the interview, you will notice it was done in a way that makes it look as if she has been crying, and feels sad.

Another set of bonus points for the sheeple who don't get it that all this is done for one and only one reason, which is financial gain.

Colored person? You clearly missed the first class of Wokeism. People get their careers destroyed for saying "colored person".

I think what you mean to say was "person of color"

If I was as spiteful as the wokeists I would now be calling for your to be banned from ThaiVisa, lose your job and be publicly shamed for this innocent mistake.

However I am much more empathetic than the vengeful cancel brigade. I can see this was an honest mistake. So I will rise above them and simply inform you.

Let's not join this race to the bottom.

Actually believing that one race or colour is amazing and another race or colour is boring is pretty much the definition of racism. If you reversed the words black and white in your post and re-read it then you will see that. The only difference is that by reversing the words it would then probably be classified as internalized racism.

Why not just accept that the colour of someone's skin is irrelevant to how amazing they are? It's the content of the character that makes someone amazing or boring.

 

 

Well, that is certainly at least part of the point I was making. When I go back and visit the US, it seems like my friends who are the most interesting, the most passionate, the most engaged in life, are mostly mixed, or Latin. Alot of my white friends are very boring. It is not racism. Alot of white people cannot seem to deal with criticism very well, for some reason. I am just saying it, as I see it. Not PC, I know. But, I do not do PC. 

 

I do agree with the fundamental assumption that all people have the potential to be amazing. But, ++++++

No matter what side you are on, it does seem a bit odd that they complain and complain about 'the media', but keep giving interviews to and on 'the media'.

Personally I couldn't care less. Harry used to dress up as a Nazi soldier for halloween for christs sake. If that isn't crying out for media attention, then I don't know what is. It's a little bit interesting and it's 'Royal' gossip, but I think the world has other, far more important things to worry about. Let's stop focusing on a pampered prince and his actress wife, who have millions in the bank. They're going to be fine, no matter who is telling the truth.

PM is nothing more than a schoolyard bully dressed up as a pantomime dame. He shoots his mounth off at every end & turn because it brings him attention. In the days before he was sacked as a newspaper journalist & editor he used faked pictures to support his bigotry. Thank gawd he has gone for now. But like dog <deleted> he sticks to your shoe and will return on another channel within weeks.

Do you not think it's at all strange that the couple who fled the UK to escape the public eye agree to do an interview with possibly the most famous talk show host in the world, knowing it will smash TV ratings records? And fled to a country where the press have a lot more freedom to pry. 

Also don't you think it's odd how MM criticises her dad for airing their dirty laundry through the media, then she goes and airs her dirty laundry through the media?

You're being played. It's all just a big drama plot to her and a quest for more fame. Throw in the race card and mental health and she knows she's onto a winner. 

As for Harry he'll probably look back on this period with extreme embarrassment once they've divorced.

An actress with her own considerable fortune, resources, Royal wealth and connections, couldn't get mental health help. Sure.

If she couldn't get any help, then what on Earth are the rest of us to do?

Reuters is exactly reporting the truth. He was dumped by ITV.

They will have been paid a lot to be Interviewed by Oprah, so they needed a good story.  It's just show-business, and Morgan knows the business well.

Can stand the man, but he is the only one to hold ministers to account for the shambolic handling of the covid pandemic.

I hadn't heard about him confronting his orange-faced friend across the pond on his own terrible handling of the pandemic.  "It'll disappear, like a miracle!"  Shambolic to shamanistic.

The first time I heard of him I was in a hotel room, starved for entertainment, I ended up watching some inane US talent show and he was one of the judges.  Who?  His name is Piers?  Perhaps when his mom first saw him she thought she should take him to a pier and throw him off of it.  I think he walked off that show too, or was it Hasselhoff? 

The UK allowing him to go to the US should be considered an act of aggression, sanctions are called for!  The worst thing the Brits did to the US since the War of 1812.  </sarcasm>

The really good thing about tv sets is that they normally comes with a device that allows one to change channels or turn it off without even having to leave one's chair.

Dumped British TV host Morgan pours more scorn on Meghan suicide, racism claims
By Estelle Shirbon

Journalist and television presenter Piers Morgan looks on as he takes his daughter Elise to school, after he left his high-profile breakfast slot with the broadcaster ITV, following his long-running criticism of Prince Harry's wife Meghan, in London, Britain, March 10, 2021. REUTERS/Toby Melville

LONDON (Reuters) - Piers Morgan, the pugnacious British TV presenter who lost his job over his attacks on Prince Harry's wife Meghan, said on Wednesday he still did not believe what she had said during her Oprah Winfrey interview.

Morgan, 55, left ITV's Good Morning Britain on Tuesday after a backlash against his comments on Meghan's interview with Winfrey, in which she revealed she had felt suicidal while living as a royal in Britain.

"On Monday, I said I didn't believe Meghan Markle in her Oprah interview. I've had time to reflect on this opinion, and I still don't. If you did, OK," Morgan said in a characteristically combative Tweet on Wednesday morning.

"Freedom of speech is a hill I'm happy to die on. Thanks for all the love, and hate. I'm off to spend more time with my opinions," he told his 7.8 million Twitter followers.

He added a photo of Winston Churchill with a quote on free speech.

In an interview that has embarrassed Britain's tradition-bound monarchy, Meghan, who married Prince Harry in 2018, said the royal family had rejected her pleas for mental health support.

The American actress, who is mixed race, also said that someone in the royal household had raised questions about the colour of her unborn son's skin.

The morning after the interview was aired on U.S. television, Morgan said on Good Morning Britain, among a torrent of other criticisms, that he did not believe a word Meghan had said. In a Tweet, he called her "Princess Pinocchio".

The following morning, he stormed off the set of the live programme when challenged by a co-presenter about his stance. Later that day, ITV said he was leaving.

Monday's programme attracted more than 41,000 complaints to Britain's media regulator, the second highest in its history, which announced an investigation.

Morgan first made his name in the cut-throat world of the British tabloid press, culminating in stints editing the now-defunct News of the World, then the Daily Mirror.

He later went into television, appearing as a judge on the reality shows America's Got Talent and Britain's Got Talent. For three years he hosted a chat show on CNN.

Morgan's detractors said his attitude towards Meghan seemed to be partly driven by personal animus because, by his own account, he had got on "brilliantly" with her when he had first met her but she had later dropped contact with him.

Susanna Reid, who co-presented Good Morning Britain with Morgan and frequently disagreed with him on air, described him on Wednesday's programme as "outspoken, challenging, opinionated, disruptive".

Morgan told reporters on Tuesday he thought Meghan's interview had damaged the monarchy and Queen Elizabeth at a time when her 99-year-old husband Prince Philip was in hospital, which he said was "contemptible".

"If I have to fall on my sword for expressing an honestly held opinion about Meghan Markle and that diatribe of bilge that she came out with in that interview, so be it," he said.

The few times I have heard Morgan speak, I was surprised at how someone that stupid could succeed in British media.  He does seems like a loathsome character.  And yet, I understand he did a good job during the past year putting government ministers on the spot for the catastrophic failures of the Johnson government to handle the pandemic.  Go figure.

They wuz lucky. When I wuz a lad we only had one domestic help for 3 hours in morning whilst Mum and Dad were out down pit. I had to wash up after every meal and sis had to dry and put away the dishes. Aye, times were ard but we wuz appy coz we knew where we stood in society- approximately 500 yards from the local coal slag heap.
