I suspect Morgan isn't quite as dumb as he seems, and is playing to his gallery which, in this entity laughingly named the United Kingdom, is a largely Russophobic and Islamophobic one. Morgan disgraced himself back in 90s when he was editor of the "redtop" ie tabloid Daily Mirror, which once upon a time was good, left-of-centre paper and Britain's best seller (Murdoch changed all that in the 80s). When England were playing in Euro football championships in Germany Morgan had front pages full of jingoistic and dangerous nonsense, "give it to Fritz" etc. Of course English football fans disgraced themselves and the country, and probably would have done so without Morgan stirring it up, but this was totally irresponsible. In any case, he knows what he's doing, and I hope John Mearsheimer and Aaron Mate refuse to appear on his show (operative word).
