Well, simply put, he's smarmy, arrogant, selfish, full of himself, and generally up himself. When he's been in charge of newspapers, he's sent reporters out to hound people and then reported on them when they've been rude to the reporters.
I don't know if you remember the Iraqi abuse hoax scandal back in 2004 where The Sun put out pictures that showed British soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners which were later proven to be false, Morgan was the man who authorised the publishing of them. His upstanding credentials are work on such literary delights as 'The Sun' 'The News of the World' and 'The Daily Mirror' as well as work on that fine non-bias publication 'The Daily Mail'. Those titles alone should give a hint at his personality.

Not many people in the UK like him, although I must admit I did read his book "The Insider: The Private Diaries of a Scandalous Decade" and it did make for fascinating reading. I guess he's quite good at his job, to get as far as he has, or he knows which arse to kiss which really equates to the same thing these days. :hmmm:

Anyway, hope that's answered a few questions Tak :yep:

Hey! Siberia already suffers from pollution and deforestation, don't add to the plight of the Amur Leopard and Siberian Tiger! I mean, what if the poor things should happen to eat him? Think of the environmental damage? :nope:

You'll probably get a 'feel' for him by looking at this Wiki link Tak:

Ahh, so he's tabloid scum. Sorry guys, I had no idea. And I didn't mean to seem smarmy with you, Tribesman; I just didn't have a clue.

Thanks for the details, Oberon and thanks for the link Jim. I normally wiki things I don't know anything about as a quick primer, but I didn't in this case. Silly of me. :oops:

Your welcome mate....I know Wiki will never be the 'definitive' source of information but in this instance it contained enough to give you an indication :yep:

It is quite informative, normally it would be hard to credit one of Murdochs red top scandal merchants sinking any lower when he moves on, but Piers proves it is possible.
