task 5

1. Piers Morgan
It
is
no
secret
that
CNN
have
been
struggling
for
viewers
since
Piers
Morgan
took
over
from
Larry
King
3
years
ago.
This
was
seen
in
January
with
CNN's
third-­‐worst
ratings
in
its
whole
history.
We
want
to
understand
how
much
the
public
actually
knows
about
the
man
who
is
wanted
out
by
over
100,000
American
citizens
who
have
signed
a
petition
for
him
to
be
deported.
As
we
all
know,
Piers
Morgan
is
someone
who
loves
to
voice
his
opinion
on
all
that
is
America.
We
all
understand
what
the
public
over
here
in
the
states
thinks,
so
looking
towards
a
British
audience
would
provide
much
better
insight.
Opinion
is
starkly
divided
amongst
the
public
as
to
the
reasons
for
the
low
ratings.
Some
feel
Morgan
himself
is
to
blame,
whilst
others
point
to
wider
issues
in
American
society.
‘Just
because
his
ideas
did
not
match
the
majority
that
does
not
mean
that
he
is
wrong’
Nefes
from
Indianapolis
‘Majority
public
opinion
does
not
always
mean
that
it
is
right’
Other
viewers
who
think
it
is
the
clash
between
Morgan’s
style
and
American
culture
that
was
to
blame
echo
this
sentiment.
All
too
often,
dissenting
voices,
critical
of
American
society,
are
pushed
to
the
margins.
‘The
only
thing
he
was
doing
was
being
honest
to
the
public,
something
the
Americans
did
not
like’
Chris
from
Birmingham

2. The
decision
to
relieve
Morgan
from
his
duties
as
Editor
of
the
Mirror
was
something
of
an
inevitability.
‘Correct
decision,
he
is
a
bad
writer
who
gets
views
by
making
controversy’
Guy
from
Essex,
United
Kingdom,
‘
‘The
blame
had
to
go
somewhere’
This
was
in
relation
to
images
being
published
about
a
possible
attack
on
Iraqi
prisoners
by
British
Soldiers.
These
were
later
seen
to
be
false.
‘Fake
images
such
as
those
could
have
had
huge
consequences’
This
was
something
unknown
in
America
however
very
important
when
looking
at
the
ethics
surrounding
Piers
Morgan.
When
looking
into
War,
we
all
know
what
Piers
Morgan
believes
about
gun
crime
in
this
country.
It
was
in
fact
in
his
last
show
at
CNN
where
he
took
yet
another
swipe
at
the
gun
control
in
the
country.
Morgan,
whose
show
was
cancelled
in
February,
had
angered
conservatives
in
the
US
during
his
three-­‐year
run
by
repeatedly
attacking
US
gun
laws.
"The
scourge
of
gun
violence
is
a
disease
that
now
affects
every
aspect
of
American
life’’
Morgan
said.
‘If
only
some
people
give
up
guns
and
a
large
proportion
keep
them
then
it
does
not
improve
the
situation,
people
are
still
at
risk’
Charlie
from
London,
United
Kingdom
‘If
everyone
can
follow
the
same
idea
then
it
will
be
a
safer
country’.
Chris
answered.

3. In
relation
to
the
petition
to
get
Piers
Morgan
deported
from
the
United
States.
‘He
has
right
to
free
speech
as
long
as
he
is
in
America’
‘To
deport
him
for
exercising
his
rights
to
free
speech
would
go
everything
America
stands
for’
Nefes
an
American
citizen.
‘He
has
done
nothing
to
harm
anyone,
why
get
rid
of
him’
Guy.
At
TIME
we
focus
on
interviewing
celebrities
or
individuals
from
this
country.
In
this
piece
we
wanted
to
broaden
our
knowledge
on
Piers
Morgan
and
find
out
what
the
public
actually
has
to
say
about
the
controversial
figure.
