(CNN) Piers Morgan, brave defender of free speech? That's how he's spinning his recent exit from "Good Morning, Britain," following his attacks on Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, earlier this week, and the outrage that followed. Morgan's latest implosion began with The Interview: the two-hour chat between Meghan, Harry and Oprah Winfrey that aired last Sunday. Nearly everything Winfrey touches turns to gold, so it is no surprise that Winfrey + Royal Family was a ratings bonanza. Those words -- vulnerability, authenticity, emotion -- are the core of the Winfrey brand.
