Piers Morgan often acts like he's 6 years old, and sometimes like a big baby.
Thanks, Rhiannon!

And if anyone thinks he's establishment, just watch Sunny Hostin have a nervous breakdown over him on the View, lol.
And Ro Khanna was like just on.

(297,375 posts)Do you consider Pres Biden Establishment.?
QuickPop
(15 posts)Here's the definition...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Establishment
From the source: "In sociology and in political science, the term The Establishment describes the dominant social group, the elite who control a polity, an organization, or an institution. In the praxis of power, The Establishment usually is a self-selecting, closed elite entrenched within specific institutions hence, a relatively small social class can exercise all socio-political control.[1]"
Someone asked about Biden, well he's the head of the most powerful country in the world.
Do I need to spell it out?

RainCaster
(10,892 posts)But you're welcome to your opinion. Don't leave out Al Jazeera, DW and Guardian. They are not US based, but they are honest.
Then there's are smaller organizations like bellingcat who will give you deep insights on current topics.

(1,323 posts)I really enjoyed the Shatner interview. Youd never know he was 93. The guest discussion was fine - until they got to abortion. Mahers comments really pissed me off. New Rules was meh.
Rhiannon12866
(205,611 posts)And the panel was also interesting, I was never a fan of Piers Morgan, but he was likable as was Gillian Tett who I'd never heard of before. As for New Rules, I agree that it wasn't his best.
