Ever wonder why Piers is here?

[danielson]

I touched on this in the last post I made about Morgan, and assumed it had been posted here before, so I never added it. I searched and didnt see it, so this is why hes here in the first place, this is why hes on a show, and a network where he gets to skew the facts until his message is put out.

BECAUSE HES GOOD AT IT...

It's not about the truth, it's about the message.

 

[Smokepole]

He's about a giant fuzzy douche.

They play it perfectly, no one reads the retractions, everyone reads the headlines and freaks out and believes it, this is a major reason why we are in the mess we are in.

I been really thinking hard about signing the deport Piers petition.

You've had to think really hard about it?

I to thought not so hard about it for about 1 second before I went and signed it.

We have already run the damn British off at least twice, not sure why he thought he was welcome here to begin with.

Because the Crown doesn't exile/banish people these days?

Lot of talk of what the "Founding Fathers" intended these days, especially regarding the 2nd Amendment - ever think about the 1st Amendment and further "Freedom of the Press"? It had nothing to do with television, radio, the internet, and mass media. It had to do with an individual's right to use a printing press.

How could anyone foresee what the "Press" has evolved into.
Good point about mass/public media.

And does the 1st A give the government the "right" to disseminate propaganda, directly or through the MSM?

Just asking...

 

[Birds Away]

I have wondered why he is here. But not so much about what brought him here, I know that, more in terms of 'what have we done to deserve this douche?'.

That's right. The AP recently did the same thing to Rand Paul. They quoted him as saying that he wanted to round up all illegals and deport them. That of course, is not at all what he said, and they retracted the story, but, damage done!

It's also when reporters were revered for exposing the truth. At one point, the media was the source of our information about what the government was really doing. Now they're the tool of the government to make sure we don't.

Why is Piers here? Well, I am taking a WAG that his salary might be just a tad better this side of the Atlantic.

 

[sparky32]

Why is he here??? My guess is piers somehow made everyone
Dislike him in some sort of way....maybe all of the bs he talks
Of his, he is doing a good job of ruining his cred here for sure!!

Yes, otherwise MSDNC, ABC, CBS, NPR, WaPo, NYT, would all be out of business.

And there is no longer a main stream media. With the current administration TELLING the media how to do stories, we now have a State Controlled Media.

I believe it was Ted Nugent who told him if you don't like our right to own guns why don't you go back to England

 

[jcwit]

Don't suppose he's a decedent of the pirate Henry Morgan?

 

[danielson]

Hes a slimeball, Hes a known liar, and will bend the truth in order to get you to believe what he wants you to. Him being over here, in our media, with its awesome trustworthiness, is a perfect fit.

 

[Racballjoe]

I have no idea why he is here. I just wish he would go back to where he came from and stay there. The only thing he is good for is being a judge on the "Brit's got talent" show. I am not even sure he was good at that either (could be why he's here maybe they fired him).
