Well, Morgan left Good Morning Britain. He's framing it as his decision, but that's unlikely. I'm sure it was a "step away or we'll fire you and do what ever we can to avoid paying you anything we might still owe you" moment. It's funny because yesterday Morgan was patting himself on the back by claiming that his storming off was just an uber-clever way to get attention and more ratings.

I think Jake Tapper may be off his nut:
I mean, I can understand USA journalists not being fans of Ofcom, but Ofcam looking into Morgan's comments (with regard to mental health and suicide) because people reported Morgan to Ofcom is hardly the end of free speech in Britain.

I'm very entertained by Morgan's demise. He'll likely never grok the delicious irony of him whining like a bratty child that Markel pushed back against the way the press has unfairly criticized her only for him to stomp off set (again, like a bratty child) when he gets rightly criticized for engaging in the same behavior toward Markel as the rest of the press.
It's fractal hypocrisy.

Lol:
Needless to say, much of the British press is asking for heads to roll...

I'm not seeing the mocking of George Floyd here. Maybe I need some of that critical race crack.

Well apparently, according to the properly woke, Markle is not allowed to complain about racism because she hasn't been killed by police. Only black people killed by police are allowed to complain about racism. Well, them and journalists forced to defend bullshit claims.

They're both trash but Underwood's claim that anything Morgan said was "racist" is absurd. It's brainwashed woke bullshittery. He asked for evidence of her claims. That's not racist, that's reasonable.
Granted, I still think Morgan is a complete asshat and the world would likely be a better place if we didn't have to hear his moronic hot takes, but claiming that his extreme skepticism is akin to racism is stupid to the nth degree.
And I still don't really understand what they're launching an "internal investigation" about regarding this online quarrel. What's there to investigate?

Agreed, with the caveat that Morgan's pov is likely largely informed by Markle wanting nothing to do with him in the past.
And I have zero clue who Underwood even is, tbh. At least I know who Osbourne is.

I'm just sooooo disappointed with conservative/rightwing voices, when it comes to Harry, Meghan, and the Crown. Look at this shit: thefederalist.com/2021/03/17/harry-and-meghan-are-only-the-latest-villains-to-emerge-from-the-house-of-windsor/Even IF Markle has political aspirations, labeling the pair as "spoiled attention seekers" with reference to the British Royal Family (and aristocracy) is ridiculous, given the utter uselessness and lameness of the Royal Family and the larger aristocracy as well. I mean, it's mostly a crowd of snotty, self-important douchebags who actually think they're better than everyone else and deserve to live the way that they do. Most of them are total bigots and many are probably outright racists.
