If there is someone on here who works for the Daily Mirror (or who knows someone that does), could they please explain why their former editor is always referred to in their paper and TV magazine as "TV's Piers Morgan"?
Yes, I know he left in disgrace, but he is still the same person and it looks a bit silly considering that he is still involved in print journalism via his columns in the Mail on Sunday and is a regular contributor to GQ magazine.

He asks very good questions on his Life Stories programme.
Editors are paid lots of money to ensure they don't fall into such a trap.He was rightly sacked from the Mirror. He hardly had a distinguished career at the NOTW either.
I agree it was right to sack Piers Morgan as Mirror editor over the faked torture pictures. However, you should remember that the national newspaper market in the UK is the most competitive in the world. With any potential exclusive story there is always the risk that a competitor will get it. Sitting on a story while checks are made increases that risk. Sometimes it is best to publish and be damned.
If I set out to deceive you over something it could be very difficult to prove it was wrong.
This is true, however you get the impression that his bosses would have been a bit more keen to support him through the fake pics scandal if The Mirror's circulation hadn't been in freefall.
