by Eddie Scarry | 4:04 pm, August 26th, 2014
Cricket enthusiast and former CNN host Piers Morgan is receives more hateful comments on Twitter than any other celebrity who uses the social network, according to a new study.
The study, conducted by the think tank Demos for the London Sunday Times, looked at more than 2 million tweets in the course of two weeks. It looked specifically at Twitter users with high numbers of followers, like celebrities, politicians and journalists.
Nearly 10 percent of the tweets directed at Piers Morgan were derogatory in nature, according to The Drum, a marketing and media website.
Of course, a scan of Morgan’s tweets shows he dishes it out as well as he takes it. Many of his replies to followers are corrections to their grammar and contain British insults like “wanker.”
