I wish Piers Morgan would go home!

[CJBOTA]

I am not a big gun nut. I own a shotgun and maybe a half box of shells. But there is something about a foreigner especially from not so Great Britain trying to take my second amendment right away that really upsets me. I hope this is not to political for this site and I don't really want to offend anyone who might have a different opinion. However I always thought gun ownership and living in the country were synonomous. Actually, i used to enjoy the piers Morgan show before he started attacking the second amendment. Oh we'll, I guess it is just part of getting old. Things just keep changing, and unfortunately not often for the better. I hope no one minds me venting about this subject. Thanks!

1. Controversy = ratings. He gets paid for ratings, not for being correct.

2. He's British. We ditched British rule for a reason. It had to do with liberty. Apparently he doesn't get that.

I agree...

Piers can go home.... But they don't want him back....

Never understood why folks go somewhere and complain about how where they left was better. Maybe he is just sore about living in James bond and Austin powers shadow.

Piers Morgan Phone Hacking Testimony Called 'Utterly Unpersuasive' In Leveson Report

Piers Morgan was not treated too kindly by the just-released Leveson Report, which called his testimony about phone hacking "utterly unpersuasive."

The CNN host and former British tabloid editor gave testimony to the inquiry into the ethics of the British press back in December. There, he was confronted with past statements he had made about phone hacking, both in his book and in interviews. Other witnesses also testified that he told them how to hack into phones.

While Morgan has freely admitted to knowing about the practice, he has vociferously denied allegations that he condoned it at the Mirror, and no concrete evidence has ever been found tying him to hacking. The newspaper has, however, been sued by people who claim their phones were hacked during his editorship.

Lord Justice Leveson, who chaired the inquiry, devoted a small chunk of his voluminous report to Morgan's testimony. He concentrated on a 2007 interview Morgan gave in which he called phone hacking an "investigative practice that everyone knows was going on at almost every paper in Fleet Street for years." Morgan said he was "passing on rumors."

"This was not, in any sense at all, a convincing answer," Leveson wrote. "Overall, Mr. Morgan's attempt to push back from his own bullish statement to the Press Gazette was utterly unpersuasive," Leveson wrote.

The Brits have started arresting some of his colleagues and are pursuing criminal prosecutions for this practice. It occurred under his watch at a major London newspaper.

Fair comment guys, however, it's simply freedom of speech, another one of your rights.
Also, we don't appreciate your boss man giving the UK advice about staying in the EU as it benefits America!
