Piers Morgan talks of hypocracy to Ed Byrne here. One of the main reasons Piers Morgan has such a high market value for TV is due to the fact that he was a judge on Britains Got Talent. A man who has never performed on stage the same way. He also talks of how Actors etc shouldnt have an opinion on Politics. Shouldnt it be the same in that case that Journalists and 'Tv personalities' shouldnt be able to judge talent?

I spoke to a guy set up by set up by a Cowell show they came to him and told him he was great, when the show was edited it made him and is mates look like idiots. I felt for the guy everyone had the video on their phones it was really cruel. This was 10 years ago and nasty people still show it to everyone the guy meets. I feel Piers Morgan is a man with little honour he knows exactly what those shows did then.
