Well our dads are bigger than your dad. Grow up you big wally! The host sparked outrage last year when he appeared to mock climate change activist Greta Thunberg folloiwng her impassioned speech at the UN Climate Action Summit. The year-old's bizarre impression came at the end of an impassioned rant he made accusing Extinction Rebellion protestors of hypocrisy for going into a branch of McDonald's to eat food.
The presenter mimicked part of the Swedish campaigner's speech at the climate change summit in New York , in which she told the congress: "How dare you. You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. ES Money. The Escapist. The Reveller. The Optimist. ES Best. ES Mag. Follow us:. Password Please enter a valid password.

Reid pointed out how offensive he was being however, he shut down the criticism. Ofcom, the TV regulator, received more than complaints which they are reviewing.
Impersonating the year-old, who has Aspergers, he said: "How dare you, how dare you? A decade later, he was axed by CNN after he lost his US audience over a series of lectures over gun control. Yet, until now, Morgan has found a way of bouncing back, able even to justify failures that would have killed other careers. But his persistent attacks on Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex , appeared increasingly insensitive, to the point where even he could no longer justify them.
Instead, the man so normally full of words simply stormed off the set of Good Morning Britain, the show he had hosted for six years. It was a car crash that, in retrospect was easy to see coming. Morgan had been criticising Meghan in extraordinary terms for months. Once, remarkably, the two were even friendly — a disclosure that made the recent attacks harder to stomach. They met up in in a London pub after she had come to Wimbledon to watch another of her friends, multiple champion, Serena Williams, but he complained that she had dropped all contact with him once she had met Harry.
On Wednesday he tweeted out a photo of Winston Churchill next to the words, "Some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage. It's a fitting end, in a way, for the latest controversy, which has very little to do with free speech and a whole lot to do with hypocrisy. For all his talk of Meghan and her husband, Harry, Duke of Sussex, manipulating people emotionally, that's precisely what Morgan is trying to do.
In the interview, the couple opened up about the challenges that led them to resign from the royal family and move first to Canada, then the US. This is not Piers Morgan's first controversial moment It was a quintessential Oprah interview.
The country's confessor-in-chief for a quarter-century, Winfrey's chief gift is her ability to draw out people's emotions and vulnerability, which she presents as the core of their authentic selves.
Those words -- vulnerability, authenticity, emotion -- are the core of the Winfrey brand. Read More. Meghan and Harry were particularly well-suited to an Oprah interview, precisely because they had recently rejected the our-stiff-upper-lips-are-sealed culture of the monarchy. Even setting aside the content of the secrets they revealed about their experiences of racism, neglect, and control, the very act of sitting down for one of Winfrey's emotional, revelatory interviews underscored how thoroughly they had discarded their former lives.
Morgan's dismissive comments, especially about Meghan's openness about her mental health struggles, show him to be suspicious of this kind of emotion, in a way that feels familiar. So much criticism of contemporary culture, particularly conversations about racism, sexism and fairness, is rooted in the notion that it's too affective, too thin-skinned and subjective. The politics of empathy and fairness are rejected as a politics of fragility, a sign of either weakness or manipulation.
Piers Morgan to guest: 'You can't filibuster me, it's my program! This has been Morgan's line of attack against Meghan for years. Dismissing her as a grasping social-climber, he called her "a shameless piece of work" and, after the couple announced they were stepping down from the royal family, labeled them "grasping, selfish, scheming Kardashian-wannabes.
