Morgan simply couldn't do it. (Images via video stills)
UPDATE: Morgan, one of the most inexplicably powerful and influential figures in the UK media, has quit in the aftermath of the controversy surrounding his remarks about Markle.
Piers Morgan, one of the most loud-mouthed bullies in the media — one with axes to grind against a slew of public figures, often women — could not sit and listen to one dressing-down on Good Morning Britian by co-worker Alex Beresford.
Beresford took Morgan to task for his venom against Markle, pointing out that Markle and Morgan had previously been in contact, and that she had cut him off. This reminded me immediately of the fact that Morgan, whose hatred of Madonna is legendary and oft-repeated, seemed to be most incensed by the fact that Madonna had ignored him. There is a huge ego at play there, and one that has been given far too much oxygen in the media.
Keep reading to listen to Beresford's critique and to watch Piers' hissy fit:

Whatever you do, DON'T SHARE this image of Piers Morgan interviewing Donald Trump, because it would really make Piers mad.

Steven Segal, who now looks like he's auditioning for a 1938 yellowface Charlie Chan movie, may be the only person more outrageously disingenuous and tone-deaf than Trump, trashing the #TakeTheKnee movement as some kind of insult against the flag while being interviewed live from ... Moscow.
Total nutjob, and Piers Morgan verbally rims him ...

Possibly the most unlikable man on TV, Piers Morgan, made the mistake of whining about people getting political on Facebook. The burn is satisfying, even if it's really just a standard morning-show act ...

Piers Morgan was told to fuck off on Real Time with Bill Maher after defending Donald Trump by claiming the old Hillary as lesser of two evils argument was defensible and by stating “there is no Muslim ban.”
After being told he was sucking up to Trump just because he won The Celebrity Apprentice and enjoys having a famous pal, Morgan called comic Jim Jeffries ridiculous and unpleasant, which did not fly with the audience and ended badly for Piers:
Deliciously, J.K. Rowling tweeted her pleasure at witnessing the smack-down:
Yes, watching Piers Morgan being told to fuck off on live TV is *exactly* as satisfying as I'd always imagined. https://t.co/4FII8sYmIt

Morgan's glass ego forced him to reply:
This is why I've never read a single word of Harry Potter. https://t.co/XUJBMs4KKm

Rowling responded with a one-two that will have Morgan smarting for days:
.@piersmorgan If only you'd read Harry Potter, you'd know the downside of sucking up to the biggest bully in school is getting burned alive.

By the way: John Waters can fuck off, too. His smarmy, condescending joke at the end of Maher's show reveals a lot about him — that he would mock people for being convinced Trump is bad and that he would suggest what if somehow Trump & Co. made things better, shows he doesn't understand that Trump is already making things worse, aggressively so, for people of color, immigrants, LGBTQ people (it's coming), women seeking abortions and even animals. To suggest liberals might be pleasantly surprised is to pretend all of those people don't count. Very bullshit joke.
