Toa hii thread. We have another one already.
MHSRIP. CNN was good when they had people like Larry King, Lou Dobbs and Rick Sanchez.
Nowadays it’s full of weirdos
Twitter was so collectively irked by the post, Morgan’s name briefly started trending on the platform, as users criticized him for turning the TV icon’s death into an opportunity for self-promotion and insults.

“Not surprised he fell out with you, look at you trying to grab 5 minutes of fame through past association,” one user wrote in the comments.
“Who does that on the day someone died???” asked another.
Many of Morgan’s media peers were offended, as well.
BET host Marc Lamont told Morgan his tweet was “tasteless,” and asked: "Why take personal shots at a time like this?
Just say something kind. Or don’t say anything. There’s alway that."
Writer Dave Grzybowski commented, “what a dumb a– disrespectful tweet.”
Others dragged Morgan for being self-serving and inappropriate. Some of the “Good Morning Britain” co-host’s fans, however, defended him.
“This is honest and you still found a way to keep it respectful. I appreciate it. Hate phony stuff,” one person wrote in the comments.
Morgan agreed with the compliment.
“Me too,” he wrote. “Larry hated me replacing him at CNN and never made any secret of it, which I found very sad because he was one of my heroes – but I still think he was a superb broadcaster & one of the all-time TV greats.”
