Piers Morgan SLAMS BBC For DISGUSTING, ‘Homophobic’ Cartoon Of Him And Trump

As you may remember, Piers Morgan recently interviewed President Trump.

The BBC, a PUBLICLY FUNDED station, then decided publishing a cartoon of Piers Morgan’s face stuffed up our President’s butt was a good idea.

Piers has something to say about it.

The BBC thinks this is OK to broadcast. But if it depicted high profile women, there would be outrage.

If the BBC broadcast an image like this after a female journalist interviewed @theresa_may – all hell would break loose & people would be fired. Gender equality shouldn’t just apply to pay – should it? pic.twitter.com/9xNqGPjZl9

So we can’t have #gridgirls or #walkongirls because the imagery is ‘demeaning’.
But the publicly-funded BBC can broadcast this about 2 men?
Any comment, @Ofcom? pic.twitter.com/ErOtK8Lvh6

If Trump tweeted an image like this depicting Hillary Clinton & a female interviewer, all those currently celebrating/retweeting it would erupt with outraged cries of ‘Sexist!’ ‘Misogynist!’ ‘Homophobic!’ – led by the BBC.

According to Daily Mail (which he often writes for):

Piers Morgan launched a blistering on the BBC after it aired a ‘homophobic’ cartoon depicting the British journalist with his nose up President Trump’s backside.

The Good Morning Britain presenter, who secured the first international interview with Trump last week, slammed the corporation for using the image on The Mash Report – its satirical news roundup.

The MailOnline columnist first tweeted about the cartoon at 6.30 last night after it appeared on the BBC2 programme on Thursday. He accused the corporation of double standards.

He wrote: ‘Amusing though this image may be to many people, can you imagine the BBC broadcasting it if the President was Hillary Clinton or the interviewer was a woman?

‘Is that how licence payer money should be spent?’

He’s not wrong. Imagine if a similar cartoon was done of Hillary with say… Andrea Mitchell. People would be losing their SH*T.

(Maybe not the best idea to talk about losing anyone’s sh*t in light of this cartoon…)

He added: ‘The BBC thinks this is OK to broadcast. But if it depicted high profile women, there would be outrage. Why the double standard?

‘If they did it to Hilary Clinton and Laura Kuenssberg – somebody WOULD be sacked.’

Exactly.

A number of people tweeted their support for Morgan including feminist author and journalist Jennifer Wright.

She wrote: ‘I hate agreeing with Piers Morgan, and I think he is a revolting toady, but… posting pictures of men engaging in sexual acts with other men to demean them seems dated and unfortunate.

‘There are ways to convey this point without the “ha ha gay” overtones at work here.’

Morgan then accused the BBC of homophobia.

It’s interesting how often this happens. The left is all committed to calling us homophobic…. and yet they often resort to things like “OMG Trump sucks Putin’s BLEEEEEEP.”

Uuuh…. really? That’s what you’re going with?

Piers continues:

‘If Trump tweeted an image like this depicting Hillary Clinton & a female interviewer, all those currently celebrating/retweeting it would erupt with outraged cries of “Sexist!” “Misogynist!” “Homophobic!” – led by the BBC,’ he wrote.

‘Liberal hypocrisy in all its unedifying glory!’

US columnist and television personality Perez Hilton retweeted Morgan’s accusation of homophobia, adding: ‘Solid point from Piers.’

Solid point from Piers. https://t.co/QTH3ldwjGM

Perez is as liberal (and gay, full disclosure) as it gets. So for him to see the hypocrisy here – yeah. It’s bad.

Morgan retweeted the cartoon a number of times, prompting critics to ask why.

‘I want everyone to see exactly what the BBC did and share it,’ he wrote in response to one.

EXACTLY. It’s already out there. It’s not like Piers should be ashamed of it. He did nothing wrong here.It’s the BBC who should be ashamed.
