During the current Coronavirus pandemic, Piers Morgan is on the end of a lot of admiration for actually been doing his job well and holding the Government feet to the fire but he has a long way to go to be forgiven for all of the awful stuff he has done in the past.
While editor of the News of the World, he was sacked by Rupert Mrdoch for publishing photographs of Earl Charles Spencer's wife leaving an addictive disorders clinic and moved to the Daily Mirror where he was warned for a breach of the Code of Conduct and using insider information when he purchased £67,000 worth of Viglen shares in his first wife's name the day before the Daily Mirror's City Slickers column tipped Viglen as a good buy, sending the shares soaring, his first wife soon becoming his former wife after his affair with a fellow journalist.
He was then sacked by the Mirror in the wake of the Abu Ghraib torture scandal, authorising the newspaper's publication of photographs allegedly showing Iraqi prisoners being abused by British Army soldiers and after discovering they were fakes, refused to apologise, stating that the abuse shown in the photographs is similar to the sort of abuse which was happening in the British Army in Iraq at the time.
He is also currently under police investigation for his role in phone hacking allegations during his time as Mirror editor and don't expect Jeremy Clarkson to appear on any of his shows anytime soon, the former Top Gear presenter has vowed to punch him on sight.
The Clarkson row started after the Mirror obtained printed paparazzi photographs of Clarkson kissing a woman who wasn't his wife and Clarkson then punched him at the 2004 Press Awards to cheers from the watching journalists.
Piers Moron as Ian Hislop calls him, may finally be doing a bit of good but that's finally after a career of being a massive, massive idiot.
