Piers Morgan on TalkTV gets one million subscribers.

[Chris Wilson]

TalkTV's 'Piers Morgan Uncensored" just hit a remarkable 1 million subscribers on YouTube, and of those the majority are in the 25 to 34 year old age bracket with 72% under 44 years old. Love him or hate him that's quite an achievement, and some VERY big names have been happy to feature on his show.

TalkTV enjoys its first anniversary on the 25th April this year.

Piers Morgan said this morning: "I’m absolutely delighted to hit such an amazing milestone so fast. When we launched Piers Morgan Uncensored, I said I wanted it to become the world’s top interview show, watched around the globe on multiple platforms, and this shows we’re well on the way to achieving that goal.

From Presidents Trump and Zelensky to Prime Ministers Sunak and Netanyahu, sporting icons Cristiano Ronaldo, Martina Navratilova, Usain Bolt, Tyson Fury and Mike Tyson, controversial commentators Richard Dawkins, Andrew Tate, Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro, Hollywood legends Mickey Rourke, Joan Collins and Bill Maher, rising political stars like Ron DeSantis, and the planet’s most famous porn star Stormy Daniels, we’ve become the go-to place for the world’s biggest names and newsmakers to speak their minds… uncensored.”

Great...

Are you going to start a new thread for every Youtuber who gets 1 million subscribers?

Only ones I have vetted and decided I like I thought it was a magnificent achievement but what mainly caught my eye was the relatively young age of his subscribers. I constantly read that only old people like him and the sorts of guests he has on, and this proves the fallacy of that notion.

 

[Chris Wilson]

The guy's a ****.

A **** with over a million subscribers though, so some must disagree with you

 

[Chris Wilson]

Old people don't tend to use Youtube.

I do, my wife does, and I know umteen similar old farts that do, is that another of your specialities at play? The sweeping statement?

 

[Chris Wilson]

1million subs from an audience of nearly 8billion people?

Meh.

Interesting, I had no idea YouTube had so many viewers. So at 9% of let's be generous, 7 billion, YouTube enjoys an audience of over 630 million over 65's. Percentage wise of total viewers, not a lot, but nonetheless a hell of a lot of us old farts watch it.

 

[Chris Wilson]

All that proves is some people have no taste or discernment.

Maybe they are doing the same as when I read the main Guardian aritcles daily, keeping abreast of their enemies thoughts? Come on, as a man of honour give some of his subscribers the benefit of the doubt that they just find Piers amusing.

 

[Chris Wilson]

There are anime Vtuber girls less than half his age with more than double his number of subs.

How many Presidents have they interviewed? How many film stars? How many Presidential aspirants? (I probably should have Googled "anime", but I am confident they don't have a raft of big names in their portfolios).

 

[Chris Wilson]

Not at all, I just found it remarkable that Morgan had managed such a celebrity / world leader guest list and a million plus followers despite what I had previously often heard, that is he is some sort of media pariah. I don't even watch much of him, maybe four times on YouTube, and I don't even own a television, so I am hardly an ardent fan. I do find him an amusing interviewer and quite a charismatic fellow though.

 

[Chris Wilson]

Radio Rentals!

Vision Hire, Rumbelows, Co-Op, DER, tried `em all... Must try a colour one some day.

 

[Chris Wilson]

Piers Morgan and phone hacking dead girls mobiles.

That's all people need to remember.

But is he as bad as, well, you know who, E. M ? Or D. T?

 

[Chris Wilson]

Oh goody, another one of Chris' baiting threads.

It's not baiting, I was genuinely surprised to see Piers having such success, as he seemed to have been written off by many, both here and elsewhere, but if you think it's "baiting" do what any sensible rainbow trout does, and do not rise to it.

 

[Chris Wilson]

I think he more fell off than was written off. His last TalkTV show flunked by all accounts.

YT is an easier bet, I often watch things that I wouldn't agree with just to hear what's going on. You never step out of your own chamber and there'll always be an echo. I'm subscribed to lots of random things.

Not a fan of his in the slightest but you can always find common ground somewhere. I agreed with his stance on gun laws for example.

Sure, I may be tiptoeing on one foot on that bit of ground but still.

I am sure we would, in person, have commonality as well as heated disagreements, but thanks for a balanced, erudite and pleasant reply. My respect.

 

[Chris Wilson]

I think StriderX and Tony Edwards should team up against this overpaid and overrated Morgan man, verbally mano a mano.

 

[Chris Wilson]

I don't know what to think. Don't care, is probably my opinion. If people don't like it, then move along. Discussing something you don't like seems completely pointless to me. It's a bit like discussing why you don't like chocolate. Who cares? Piers is perfectly entitled to like or dislike whatever he wants, but why anyone cares what his opinion is, is a mystery to me.

"I don't like the trailer at all. Leaves me completely cold."

Verbatim of your post of 6.00 am today about some film called Guardians of the Galaxy

 

[Chris Wilson]

No it's a descriptor, just as in describing someone as black because they have black skin, isn't racist.

It's a term going back hundreds of years to describe the stereotypical red faced, angry, pompus, jingoistic right wing male. It's just now modern right wing males have also turned into the biggest bunch of thin skinned delicate ice crystals, that they now get upset by it and try to cry "racism" <LOL>

Whilst having no issues with being called a "gammon" whatsoever, (or racial slurs in general), could you at least try and get your spelling correct when flinging the insults?

It's pompous, not pompus.

 

[Chris Wilson]

I look forward to his completely honest testimony on phone hacking

I think you just have to accept 99% of journalists and newspaper editors are corrupt and corruptible.

I used to have a car accessory shop on Deansgate in Manchester and a few journalists from the Manchester Evening News and Guardian, (yes, THAT Guardian...), would come in. One day one came in wearing a dark suit and a black tie to tell me that Tom, a regular shopper at the store, had died. He said he was off to the funeral to "screw him into the ground". I must have looked vacant so he helped me out.

"We journalists aren't buried, we're that bent we get screwed into the ground like corkscrews".

I think he was 100% serious

 

[Chris Wilson]

Some black people use the N word to address another black person, are they are being racist?

I pondered this for a while and the best description of such a greeting I can come up with is that it's "tribal". They accept it as it's uttered by effectively a tribe member, whilst they would not accept it from the "Whitey Tribe".

Another confirmation that mankind is still strongly tribal in nature.

 

[Chris Wilson]

In true GD fashion, a thread about someone reaching a million subscribers turns to racism.

Nice one guys

I think you need to "Duke" it out with the writer of post #45

In this case I am not to blame, I'm still in deep mourning for Betty Boothroyd

 

[Chris Wilson]

When a racist person makes thread about their idol, what you expect?

Here's the definition of idol:

1: an object of extreme devotion
a movie idol
also : ideal sense 2

2: a representation or symbol of an object of worship
broadly : a false god

3a: a likeness of something
b obsolete : pretender, impostor

4: a false conception : fallacy

5: a form or appearance visible but without substance
an enchanted phantom, a lifeless idol—
P. B. Shelley


Mr. Morgan is none of those to me, merely an amusing interviewer and writer who surprised me by the size of his audience.

I can think of no living person I might idolise and very few who are dead.

There are a large number of often younger Left supporting people who have no nuance with politics, give them the slightest sniff that a person in the media has shown the merest affinity for something they perceive as leaning to the Right and that person has to be demonised, ostracised, mocked and torn asunder by the pack.

One only has to look in any strongly left leaning forum, for example, the general discussion and politics sub forums of AV Forums to see this in action. Hyenas operate in a more cultured manner if the scent of Right leaning blood is on the wind. The Trump and Musk threads here show somewhat similar tendencies.
