So, does this mean that he’s willing to give even Meghan Markle a second chance? While that seems highly unlikely, Piers Morgan is calling on the celebrity world to “uncancel” all of those who have been “canceled” by the “woke mob.” Here’s what you need to know.
Morgan says he wants to “uncancel those who have been canceled” and branded his departure from ITV last year a “farce” as he prepares to launch fledgling news channel TalkTV. The show will launch with shows from Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and Tom Newton Dunn on April 25.
Piers Morgan Wants Everyone Who Was ‘Canceled’ To Be ‘Uncanceled’
“I thought the whole thing was a farce and I’m delighted that actually, as a result of the farce, we’ve ended up with a whole network which is now dedicated to preventing that kind of farce from recurring,” Morgan said.
“You shouldn’t be shamed or vilified or cancelled for having an opinion, unless you genuinely are spewing hateful bigoted stuff,” he added, speaking ahead of the channel launch. I don’t intend to do that; I’ve never done that before in my broadcasting time. I want to be a broad church to any kind of view.”
Speaking alongside Osbourne, he explained: “I want to re-platform those who’ve been de-platformed. I want to cancel those who have been canceled. I want to basically make a point that cancel culture is as dangerous to society, in its own way, in terms of its attack on free speech and freedom of expression as coronavirus has been. And could be over the next few years and decades actually more dangerous.”
Morgan added, “So, I think if a democracy, like ours, or America or Australia, where this show will be airing, if a democracy loses that sense of what free speech means, and stops defending an individual’s right to an opinion, you’re not a democracy.”
