Piers Morgan Wins Ofcom Complaint Against Meghan Markle

Ofcom today issued its decision on the Complaint dear Meghan filed with Ofcom against Morgan when he dared to question the truth of statements she made during the Oprah interview. He lost his job on GMB over the action, but Ofcom cleared him of all wrongdoing and specifically mentioned the "chilling effect on freedom of speech and a free press" of insisting that the press had no right to question anything said by anyone.

It's quite a slap in the face for Meghan and a huge victory for Morgan. And the TV programme's ratings slid when he stormed out.

Will it have him back, do you think?

And, how delicious that the decision appears JUST as Omid Scobie's latest pack of lies is published.

Ofcom is the official Office of Press Complaints and wields enormous power.

I believe Meghan also has one pending against the TIMES te the last excerpt from Robert Lacey's "updated" book on William and Harry that contained the unflattering bit abou TV how she left the Fiji food market after two minutes on thst first tour Down Under.

Let's see how that one fares.

I don't usually agree with Piers Morgan, but he was within his rights to say what he did and he WAS challenged on it, leading to a balanced overall report.

I am surprised by how thoroughly he has been vindicated. I expected a little push-back from OFCOM, but they backed him entirely!

So, what? The ruling correctly affirmed Morgan’s right to free speech and to say what he wants.

That doesn’t mean there aren’t consequences for his speech, i.e getting fired for being an unwatchable cunt.

by Anonymousreply 14September 1, 2021 12:23 PM

R12 - So, Meghan's and Harry's public attempts at blackmailing an entire family and smearing it by hiding behind completely unsupported innuendoes and insinuations, after an interview in which she and Harry told at least a dozen verified lies, gets her a pass from you, whilst Piers doesn't get a pass just because he's obnoxious?

Blackmail is one of the ugliest words in the lexicon, and it is also a felony. Piers isn't likable, but he isn't a criminal, either, and what Omid Scobie, on behalf of Meghan, particularly, is engaging in is attempted blackmail in order to flog the Windsors on the Sussex's behalf, keep them on the front pages of the tabloids they pretend to hate, and make a mockery of the term "fact checked journalism" that the couple threw about so readily when suing the Mail on Sunday.

Piers is no one's idea of St. George on a horse, but the fact remains that Meghan and her psychotic stans have made it their business to see to it that only one narrative reaches the public: hers.

For many of us, nothing Piers has ever said or done reaches the disgusting depths that Harry and Meghan have plunged into - smearing an entire family with an insinuation they cannot back up (probably because it wouldn't hold water if they did name a name, and because the family would sue them for defamation in a heartbeat and they still want a piece of Charles' estate when he dies, HRHs for their kids, and the cloak of royalty still draped around them).

They are cowards. Piers is who he is and you know what you're getting when he comes into view.

Meghan and Harry are cowards and blackmailers, engaged in revenge porn for gain, and cloaking themselves all the while in humanitarianism and kindness (there's a right laugh for you!). And they are doing so in the full knowledge that the people they are attempting to smear are unlikely to strike back unless pushed to the wall. So they think they're safe throwing their ugly tar at Harry's family from behind Omid Scobie's skirts, whilst their lawyers send out letters stating that the book "doesn't speak for them", when you can see that it does from Outer Space.

Piers may be many things, but a coward and a blackmailer aren't any of them.

You might need to sort out your priorities.

by Anonymousreply 18September 1, 2021 12:46 PM

R18 - And I bloody hope he does.

There is still an outstanding legal complaint, if I remember, against the TIMES' last excerpt from Robert Lacey's newly re-edited book on William and Harry a few months ago, in which the incident at the Fiji Food Market was recounted (Meghan got there and left in a hurry two minutes later without explanation, after the mostly women vendors had waited hours to see her - it was suggested that she left as revenge when she saw it was sponsored by the UN Women's Commission or something, which had once declined to name her as an Ambassador - AND that she had instead gone off to a spa with Jessica Mulroney, who had accompanied her on that first tour Down Under).

I don't know what became of the complaint, but if that also goes tits up, plus ANL being granted the right to appeal the High Court's Summary Judgement in Meghan's case against the Mail, it may occur to the Sussexes that it's time to stop trying to bully the press through the courts to tailor its narrative to her personal liking.

And instead of relying on her medical team she asked for help from the HR department . Nope , that doesn't make any sense . So I'm with Piers here . She used mental health as a get out of jail free card to silence any criticism because who would question the stories of a suicidal young mother .

He has a major ITV evening series and figures for the breakfast show have plummeted since he left. The person with the “image problem” is now the woke cunt running ITV.

R23, I agree with this bit: "Keeping your job after you've become an image problem for your employer..." Yes, I would totally understand if ITV don't want Morgan back on GMB, as he's a very divisive figure, but they did actually try and keep him - on the condition he apologised, which he refused to do.

However, this part: "I bet there is enough dirt to bury Morgan if he dares to go against ITV. They don't fuck around" isn't an accurate reflection of the situation. The issue is OFCOM has vindicated Morgan, and they don't fuck around, either. ITV answers to OFCOM, not the other way around. There may well be bad blood between the ITV boss and Morgan, but they've kept him on in other programmes because he's good at what he does and pulls in the ratings.

by Anonymousreply 33September 1, 2021 2:55 PM

R32 Wrong. He didn’t “lose” his job at all. He resigned.

He was told to apologise or go. He went.

Now that it’s been shown that he did nothing wrong, I bet he has a very good case for constructive dismissal. He should never have been put in that position.

She always wanted to keep her natural hair & real nose, but you wouldn't allow it. No One EVER is allowed to say or even think anything less than glowingly ass licking about her. Don't you even dare. Didn't you see that Royal portrait Queen Bey has of her? The BRF exiled them because they knew the people who rise up & demand that old white racist bitch be cast off the throne & the real queen Meghan be installed. Cambridge university(the font of all real, unbiased knowledge), as we speak are completely the scholarly, scientific genealogy study proving Meghan is the rightful queen of England.

It's crap that people are expected to believe she went to the HR dept (as a non employee) for a non work related health problem. Even staff would be directed to occupational health and then on to their own GP or A&E if an emergency. Her bloody husband is a so called champion of mental health but was embarrassed to ask for help.

As a poster said above, she was getting regular health checks during pregnancy. So did she lie that she was ok or did her health professionals fail her?

She's a liar, and having spent time as a mental health in patient, it is her and not Morgan minimising mental illness.

Morgan is fucking annoying and misogynistic and I never watched GMB when he was on it, but he was 100% within his rights to question Meghan, particularly given that almost all of the accusations they threw at the royal family have been invalidated upon further investigation. The head of ITV only asked Morgan to apologize because Meghan herself complained (ITV was at one point very pro-Sussex). Meghan and Harry is exceptionally thin skinned and cannot stand any criticism, it why most of us here in the UK no longer buy anything they are selling.
