fair play, but these are mostly good reasons why the left hate him, and with the gun control and deciding to ask trump some non-softball questions the right see him as not a fellow traveller
I just wonder which demographic he appeals to? Perhaps he was going for a larry king style, but king was personable and consistently landed a-list guests from across the spectrum, so he had that "insomniac baby-boomer looking for unchallenging entertainment with guests they actually recognise" demographic. Piers, like you said, can be smarmy and superior, and now only d-listers want to be interviewed by him. I doubt trump will come back, though you never know

Don’t worry mate, he’s got Sharon Osbourne on speed dial.
He got a free ride on phone hacking and the fake photos from most on the left as he was always seen as a legit cheerleader as editor of The Mirror. I really don’t see him as Left or Right. He’s a shameless chameleon and an astonishing attention seeker. There’s a lot of bluster, but no gravitas. He’s not an intellectual, he’s not a wit, but he is loud, like an empty vessel.
TBH, I’m not all that keen on the guy.
