Paul Danahar, BBC News’ Americas Bureau Chief, just couldn't bite his tongue, but then got bit himself:
PAUL DANAHAR: Here’s the full Piers Morgan interview with Donald Trump. The top line is……well there isn’t really a strong top line. It’s odds and ends about various stuff but unless you have 30 mins to kill you can skip this one.
PIERS MORGAN: BBC news chief who failed to get interview with President Trump announces there is no news in rival network’s exclusive interview that’s currently making news around the world... methinks the green-eyed monster’s blurred his vision!
Update: And 'Big John' Simpson (aka Old Simpers) agrees with Paul.
'Some say' the BBC's World Affairs Editor was sneering at the ITV man without having watched the interview. See if you agree with 'Some' here:
PIERS MORGAN: Hi John, I challenged him repeatedly about climate change. Maybe try watching it before spewing your usual pompous, jealous old BBC bore act - it’s not a good look for a guy who hasn’t had a big interview this Millennium. Love Piers x
JOHN SIMPSON: Poor old Piers.
Still, eventually Old Simpers got round to watching it and replied to someone else saying:

I only saw a minute or so of Piers Morgan's long interview with Donald Trump, but apparently he didn't get round to challenging him on pulling the US out of the Paris Agreement on climate change. Lots about the Royal Family, though, I'm told.And, Further Update, it's still going on:

Hi @anneshine33. I've seen the full Piers Morgan-Trump thing, & you're right, it's not as godawful as the previous ones. But so many huge questions left unasked - not just the Paris Agreement. If only Emily Maitlis could have grilled Trump instead! Not a chance, of course.Miaow!
