Is Piers Morgan uniquely awful or are they all like that? He invites on some bloke just to completely ignore and talk over them the whole time unless they're decisive enough to tell him to shut the fuck up.

[-] [email protected] 65 points 2 years ago

Even other right wingers like Jeremy Clarkson don't like Piers Morgan. He fucking sucks.

You can still edit that to not use gendered language you know

He is super awful.

The joke is Piers only brings on guests so terrible that they make him look good in comparison, in the eyes of the general public. Andrew Tate, Kanye West in his Nazi era, etc...

Sometimes it backfires.

the type of people who watch right wing pundits admire that kind of behavior. it get ratings.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

He is especially bad and does that whenever a leftist person is on

I can't bring myself to watch Piers Morgan a second time in less than a week. How did Hasan do?

[-] [email protected] 83 points 2 years ago

Pretty well. He kept getting interrupted by the bastard, and some of his points may have been incomplete for it since he was shouted over by Piers, he had hella names/quotes to back up the positions he was claiming everyone had on each side off-hand.

Piers ended it with, "Well, if it was as easy [as your solution], I'm sure it would have been done already," dismissive twat, instead of acknowledging what Palesteniand deserve, like Hasan did at the end, rights-wise.

For being called a propagandist, he did a shite job disproving the fact.

[-] [email protected] 33 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I think Hasan handled that distraction well. Piers clearly thinks that “propagandist” means “state-sponsored journalist”. Hasan said it as an offhand comment and then quickly shamed Piers for going on a tangent about how good his own reputation is.

Morgan kept trying to talk over Hasan (because that's the only way he knows how to "win" a "debate"), but Hasan kept calling him out on it.

I made it a couple minutes in before I wanted to do harm to Piers and had to turn it off

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

It gets better in the second "round". Hasan slow-rolled him and made him the fool, in my opinion.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

well i've had my weekend water so maybe i'll try again

it may not help at all

Jeremy Clarkson may be a wanker but at least he punched Piers Morgan in the face once

[-] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago
[-] [email protected] 28 points 2 years ago

It's not on video. It's because Morgan published photos of Clarkson cheating on his wife when Morgan was editor of The Daily Mirror.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago

oh, that must have been when he was "heading major publications, doing journalism".

Cheers mate!

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

I can't believe Morgan actually did something based. Is that real?

I wish he would have had a quarter of the contempt for Piers as he has for his chat.

[-] [email protected] 62 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Wouldn't want to go that hard on the show, for the optics

also his chat does suck lmao

[-] [email protected] 61 points 2 years ago

Hasan is just a babysitter for libs

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

He did call him a "~~baboon in a suit~~ propagandist"!!!

Funny to me the baboon thing wasn't really discussed but Piers seemed pretty defensive about the propagandist accusation.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago

In the edited video that was published after originally aired, they edited out the part at the beginning where Piers plays the clip of Hasan said he'd love to go on Piers's show and call him a baboon in a suit (but not the part where Piers talks about it). Maybe Piers realized in retrospect how petty he looked

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

Fancy that.

It's kinda hilarious that mainstream TV is dragging themselves down to the level of a twitch stream

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

Piers Morgan probably brought him on because "oh, he's just a Twitch streamer. I could easily beat him."

A part of me wonders if perhaps Piers intentionally got Hasan to just keep the discussion in regards to whether he's (Hasan) a propagandist and making stuff up than have a direct discussion about the ethnic cleansing going on, either that or Piers took it really personally to be called a propagandist.

It's funny that Hasan has criticized one or two other people Piers spoke to about what's happening in Gaza, talking about what they should've said, but let himself get bogged down in something arguably trivial.

Also doesn't help that Piers feels like he's got a lib's capability of understanding context; Every time a guest of his tried to give context for what's happening in Israel-Palestine, I look at Piers and I can almost hear the sound of crickets. If you can't given an 'in a nutshell' answer, you're gonna get nowhere with him, and the conflict between Israel and Palestine is complex, insomuch as 'Israel has committed unending cruelty and viciousness in the region and never stopped pretending to be the true victim the whole time' is a simplified understanding of the complex nature of butchery, warmongering, belligerence, terrorism and genocide that led to what Israel is today.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago

It's easy to criticize while a discussion is happening I guess, less pressure and less in your head

“How am I a propagandist?” The answer is so easy, just ask: “who is paying your salary?” Hexbear thinks hasan did well but I thought he dropped the ball here.

Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.
