Trump proves Piers Morgan is the epitome of fake news

Piers Morgan is coming to Fox Nation now that Chris Wallace apparently has retired, at least for now, from the news business since CNN+ quickly went bust. While Morgan isn't going directly to Fox News, and has been on some of their programming such as The Five and Gutfeld! he just might end up there in the future, but that remains to be seen.

Morgan published a promotional video on Wednesday using part of a recorded interview he did with former President Donald Trump. The interview appeared to show Trump storming out of the interview and that's the way Morgan played it.

However, that wasn't exactly what happened.

Trump released audio revealing that Morgan was being deceptive to his audience because the video was edited and set to air next Monday for his new show "Piers Morgan Uncensored." That's almost the same thing as "unedited" but the video was indeed crafted to make it appear that Trump left in a huff.

This "most explosive" video of the year, as it was called, was a stitched together series of various cuts from the interview that made Trump look unhinged he Morgan challenged his claims about the 2020 election.

"Morgan versus Trump," the narrator says, as the video shows Trump standing up from his chair and telling producers to "turn the camera off" while huffing, "Very dishonest." The montage included close-ups of Trump's sweaty face and dramatic background music because that's what's happening in today's news business.     

The video predictably went viral because it seemed to confirm the media's caricature of Trump.

What Morgan and the production crew didn't count on was that they weren't the only ones recording the interview. As it turned out, Trump's team did a recording of the whole interview, and it definitely paints a very different picture of what really took place.

According to NBC News, the interview ended on a cordial, friendly not, and Trump actually said, "That was a great interview," as per Trump himself agreed. Morgan responded, "Thank you very much. I really appreciate it." 

After Morgan made that concluding remark did Trump say, "Turn the camera off."

When Trump made the remark that Morgan was being "very dishonest," it had to do with the fact that he was initially told the interview would only last 20 minutes, and this is what Trump agreed to. But it lasted over an hour and this was what the remark referred to, not the election or anything else.

President Trump released a statement late Wednesday blasting Morgan.

"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," Trump said.

The former president added, "[Morgan] went out of his way to deceptively edit an interview and got caught."

Morgan refused to admit he lied to Trump and to the public. He responded to Trump's statement on Thursday morning and totally ignored the fact that he deceptively edited the video.

The butt muncher doubled down: "Morning, Mr President! It was a great interview, thanks for all your time. Sorry you got so annoyed that I don’t believe the 2020 election was rigged or stolen from you, but as I said, where’s your proof? If you have it, show us — or accept the result and move on," Morgan said.

I will no longer take Piers Morgan seriously [never did before, so why start now] and will not watch his Fox Nation show. I think Fox made a huge mistake going into a contract with him.
