“Probably. I mean, not based on data or anything, but probably.”
The fact that there is no equal-but-opposite version of Piers Morgan shows how skewed our media really is. The guy was already dodgy from his Mirror days, well before he was a TV host - the fact he’s been able to build himself up into this “voice of the people” is nothing short of mind-boggling.
People have become so angry at the state of things that they cling onto people who at least seem to get angry on their behalf. The snideness and argumentativeness and fuck you attitude towards ones political enemies is just too juicy a thing to not enjoy, that accuracy and truth become a sideshow at best. It’s an essential ingredient of political discourse being debased into theatre and obfuscation.
