Morgan begs to differ through his cogent will argued interview and in defending Qatar to the hilt against the what he calls sheer hypocrisy by those who would criticize.
https://t.co/GpgIgee3IU This take down of @maitlis by @piersmorgan on Qatar is nail on head stuff. @Baddiel meanwhile whilst opposed to Qatar supports Israel a country which @amnesty @hrw @btselem and Harvard Law school have declared an apartheid state.

Many would be well advised to listen to the interview that is laced with much hashtags, saying many of the countries that hosted the World Cup in the past had laws against homosexuality.
@piersmorgan is right on this. You can't choose when to banter/attack Qatar and other nations because it is convenient (fashionable) to do so, and overlook the same issues when taking their money/or benefiting. https://t.co/HUX0bB9iZy

The interview has been met with great deal of interest pointing out there is international hypocrisy and double standards with posts about the fact that no country in the world is "morally clean" to hold the World Cup.
“Once you start imposing your moral standards, you must know where and when they end.” Piers Morgan.
The controversy surrounding the World Cup in Qatar is an example of international hypocrisy and double standards.
I rarely agree with @piersmorgan, but he is spot on here. pic.twitter.com/j8paDQ7HUQ— Somalia (@kingofSomaliaa) November 18, 2022
Hitting the nail on the head:

One argues there is a media campaign against Qatar and it just feels like its thinly veiled racism and rank hypocrisy.
Well @piersmorgan calls out the sheer hypocrisy in this Qatar conversation that some of these so-called people of conscience are stating.

Humiliates @maitlis and he should’ve just said it’s islamophobia as that’s what it clearly is.pic.twitter.com/t1Y8Uv9MCh
Another simply says don't breach the moral high ground.
I’m still trying to understand why media leave no stone unturned to criticize Qatar world cup.
