Piers Morgan has taken aim at the UK television’s strict impartiality rules, saying that they are outdated and fallible to challenge from influential people with agendas.<\/p>\n
The presenter, who is regulated by Ofcom on Rupert Murdoch’s British TV network TalkTV, told the RTS Cambridge Convention that due impartiality is “pretty anachronistic.”<\/p>\n
He added that the way news networks apply impartiality rules “leaves a lot to be desired,” pointing to ITV’s decision to remove him from Good Morning Britain<\/em> after he accused Meghan Markle of lying about her mental health. Ofcom later found that the show was balanced because he was challenged by co-hosts.<\/p>\n Morgan has accused Markle of influencing ITV’s decision by filing a formal complaint. “Broadcasters have to stand up to this stuff, whether it’s from Downing Street or some princess in Montecito,” he said.<\/p>\n The presenter added that the establishment of opinion-led UK networks like TalkTV and GB News shows that viewers want to hear “spirited” views as part of their diet of news.<\/p>\n Morgan, who was sharing a panel with Channel 4 News presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy, said the more significant issue for UK news networks is establishing what truth is in an era of fake news.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nMust Read Stories<\/h2>\n
