Deceptive Piers Morgan & Fox News Caught In Their Trump Interview Lies

Something F-I-S-H-Y about Morgan’s and Fox News’ deceptively edited promotional clip

“That means in just two days Morgan has seen a 70 percent drop in viewers, and seems to be losing relevance and interest from the public quickly after Trump and his top communications aide Taylor Budowich crushed Morgan’s mishandling of a deceptively edited interview promo. “Morgan’s abject failures may also be decimating the entire TalkTV network effort, as his Wednesday guest Sharon Osbourne — who has her own show on the platform — also dropped in ratings after she appeared with the bumbling British broadcaster this week.” “The original 30-second clip, released last week, made it appear as though Trump stormed off the set mid-interview upset with questions from Morgan about the 2020 election. But when Morgan released the deceptively edited promotional clip, Budowich — Trump’s communications director — released audio of the ending of the interview proving it was indeed deceptively edited to falsely portray Trump as storming off. Trump did no such thing, and the interview in reality ended cordially with Morgan thanking Trump at the end and talking about Trump’s recent hole-in-one alongside golf legend Ernie Els.”

Morgan and Fox News as ratings-pushing liars

“In the aftermath of the spat, Morgan has repeatedly attacked Budowich in tweets — but it seems like Budowich, and a result of his efforts Trump himself, are getting the last laugh here as Morgan’s failures are spiraling his show already. Some are even already comparing Morgan’s disastrous launch to CNN+, the failed streaming service that CNN disbanded mere weeks after its launch despite hundreds of millions of dollars of investment. “I have no clue what he was thinking,” one media strategist told Breitbart News. “He launched a show aimed at a right-of-center audience, but deceptively edited the trailer in a failed attempt to embarrass President Trump. He lost all credibility with his target audience before his show even aired. The only question now is, does he last longer than CNN+? I don’t think so.” “A second media strategist source close to a Fox News primetime anchor told Breitbart News that there are conversations happening about this at Fox News and parent company News Corporation and that executives are “embarrassed” by Morgan’s conduct, and they are not sure that they can “salvage” the show. These conversations, this source says, intensified after Fox News star Tucker Carlson appeared on Morgan’s show on Wednesday night to try to promote it and elevate Morgan — but even Carlson was unable to generate enthusiasm or support for Morgan among the potential viewing audience. "Even Morgan’s social media engagement is “pathetic” according to some:

Morgan’s history of failure

“What’s more, high-profile guests such as Caitlyn Jenner have canceled scheduled Morgan appearances as a result of the dustup with Trump — now Jenner is, because of contractual obligations with Jenner’s Fox News contributor contract, being forced to appear on Thursday’s show — and Morgan has been instead promoting content such as having alpacas on his program: "In other words, Morgan only seems to be going downhill from a 70-percent drop in viewers in a few days. “Morgan’s history of failure on both sides of the pond is clear and long-running. The former CNN anchor also blew himself up multiple times on both sides of the pond — in the United States and in the United Kingdom. A former executive with The Apprentice — Morgan won Celebrity Apprentice in 2008 — told Breitbart News this latest failure by Morgan is not surprising. “Piers Morgan is a washed up, has-been and some over produced and over edited promo trailer won’t change that. In three days he went from ‘Uncensored’ to ‘Unwatched,’” the former Apprentice executive said. “Even Morgan’s old employer CNN, in the wake of the revelations he deceptively edited the Trump interview promo clip, published a piece saying Morgan “just handed Donald Trump an easy win.”

“Piers Morgan conducted himself in a "despicable" manner during his recent interview with former President Donald Trump, according to British broadcaster and former politician Nigel Farage on Newsmax. "We all know there are bad cases of journalism, but this is despicable," Farage told Wednesday's "Greg Kelly Reports." "There's no other word for it.” “Farage said the way Morgan edited the at-times testy interview was "dishonest," and the interview had concluded after an extended period before Trump walked off. It then edited to show the former president storming out on Morgan. “A promotion for the interview with Morgan gives it an adversarial tone, calling it Trump versus Morgan, and shows Trump saying the interview is over, "turn off the camera," before walking out. "The way that's cut and clipped, the reason [Trump] was saying 'let's finish the interview,' is the president's obviously agreed to 20 minutes," Farage said. :Morgan was going for an hour and 20 minutes, right? That's the first point to make. "[The] second point to make is when Trump says 'turn the cameras off' after they've said their goodbyes and [Morgan] completely, willfully, dishonestly, twisted that as if to say, Trump got up and walked out.” “The April 20 interview was the debut of Morgan's new show, "Piers Morgan Uncensored," and, according to Newsweek on Tuesday, Trump did not walk out early, but had stayed much longer than was originally arranged.

“Trump's camp recorded the entire interview on audio that proved his side of the story. "You've done 'last question' four times now," Trump's communications director Taylor Budowich is heard telling Morgan and his crew. "I feel like you're lying at this point.” “Trump put out a statement, calling Morgan out for "deceptively" editing the interview:

"Piers Morgan, like the rest of the Fake News Media, attempted to unlawfully and deceptively edit his long and tedious interview with me. He wanted to make it look like I walked out on the interview when my time limit of 20 minutes went over by an hour. The good news is that the interview was taped by us as a means of keeping him honest. The interview was actually very strong on the 2020 Election Fraud, with me calling him 'a fool' if he truly believed those results. The evidence is massive and irrefutable (check out Truth the Vote and the Dinesh D'Souza documentary, which will all be coming out soon). "For those who want to make Piers look bad, compare his video promo and how it was doctored to the real thing. Hopefully, they will now be doing some big changes to their final product. It just shows, however, what I have to deal with in the Fake News Media. He went out of his way to deceptively edit an interview and got caught. That is a big story, isn't it?”

“Farage, a former leader of the Independence Party for two separate periods from 2006-09, and 2010-16 in the United Kingdom, and also the leader of the Brexit Party and movement from 2019-2021, is launching his own nightly television show on GBN News in the U.K. He said his program is "to tell stories that the rest of U.K. mainstream media do not even give airtime to.”
