My Take
I won't pretend Piers Morgan is easy to love, but I find him impossible to ignore, and I suspect that is exactly the career he designed. Becoming Britain's youngest national newspaper editor at 29 takes genuine talent, whatever you think of tabloid culture, and being fired from the Daily Mirror in 2004 would have finished most careers; he simply reinvented himself as a television interrogator. What interests me is his stamina for confrontation: he absorbs public fury the way athletes absorb training. As mainstream journalism grows ever more cautious, Morgan's shamelessness is, in its own strange way, a kind of honesty.
