Originally Posted By wahooskipper I've been pleasantly surprised so far. But, I can't tell how "good" he is yet because the programs up to this point have been taped, not "Live".

I caught a little of the intervew with Condi Rice and I was really impressed at the way he went at her, knew his facts, etc. Frankly, in four days he came off as more prepared than Larry King has in the past 5-10 years. Of course, I don't know Piers' background at all and never watch America's Got Talent so apart from wonder, "who is this guy?" he has a pretty clean slate from me.

Originally Posted By Labuda I have less interest in Piers Morgan than I did in Larry King. I haven't listened to Larry regularly since I was 18 or 19, and never really watched the show on CNN. Just like I doubt I'll ever really watch Piers, especially if he's not even live.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Sadly yes. The UK media is far from perfect,but thankfully most of the biased news is still in the written press. While TV coverage has agendas, editorial television is very clear that it is editorial (with the exception of Sky - Murdock, surprise, suprise). The problem is, SKY have pretty much bought their way into Hospital and government office waiting rooms through sponsorship deals).
Originally Posted By Rsey103 I don't know who he has on tonight, but so far his guests have been A-list in the first week. Will his show ever go live and cover the news of the day like King did?
Originally Posted By avimagine Wait you mean when Stephen Fry, Alan Davis et al were insulting him, they didn't like him? If I recall he was used as the "joke" buzzer on the Horrible episode? My middle brother doesn't like him.
Originally Posted By Ursula I had no idea who he was until he was on the Apprentice. Hated him then, won't watch his show now.
Originally Posted By avimagine But CNN is as unbiased as it gets. They only report the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 I don't think he gets to call himself that much longer. Hell, prior to 9/11 he was deeply unpopular in NY and was hardly considered OUR mayor. But people rallied around him after 9/11 and he's been riding that ever since.
