Morgan's 'storm out'* illustrates his fundamental flaw - he has no problems going after someone (sometimes quite personally as he has with Meghan) but he can't cop someone else challenging his views, let alone criticize him

* Lets be honest, GMB knew what potentially could happen by having Alex Beresford debate Morgan in studio


It's all carefully nurtured confrontion.

I think we can praise social distancing otherwise it might have been fisticuffs. Very Happy

Piers has such a problem with Alex getting ‘personal’. I seem to remember Piers calling Meghan and Harry ‘Ginge & Cringe’ and doing impressions of Meghan. If that’s not personal, what is ? Everything Alex said there was true.

Piers being Piers; he can give it, but he can't take it.
Someone dared to challenge his position and he flounces off.
Sounds rather like the actions of what he likes to call a "snowflake" to me...

Not to mention that they did a close up shot of Piers to get his reaction, just before he stormed off. Reminded me of the infamous split screen on The View during the Rosie O'Donnell/Elisabeth Hasselbeck row.

A lot onTwitter suggesting it was staged.

Ratings and attention...

I don’t think it was staged per se. But obviously the idea of getting Alex on to berate Piers was contrived so that Morgan could be seen to get some criticism for his tirade yesterday. Today it all got slightly out of hand for a few minutes.

I’ve not seen it, but I find it hard to believe that an incident like this on this particular programme is not contrived and managed.
Meridian AM and BFGArmy gave kudos

I don’t think ITV are impressed. Apparently ITV+1 cut to the cannot be shown slide during the whole altercation.

Anyone else wondering what it’s got to do with Alex Beresford? Stick to the weather and mind your own shop. That dreadful rambling monologue was so contrived. No wonder Piers did one.

Because he's sharing his experience, like being mixed race himself. If he didn't it would be like your parents talking over you, for you.
