Title: Piers Morgan and CNN Plan End to His Prime-Time Show

There have been times when the CNN host Piers Morgan didnâ€™t seem to like America very much â€” and American audiences have been more than willing to return the favor. Three years after taking over for Larry King, Mr. Morgan has seen the ratings for â€œPiers Morgan Liveâ€ hit some new lows, drawing a fraction of viewers compared with competitors at Fox News and MSNBC.

Itâ€™s been an unhappy collision between a British television personality who refuses to assimilate â€” the only football he cares about is round and his lectures on guns were rife with contempt â€” and a CNN audience that is intrinsically provincial. After all, the people who tune into a cable news network are, by their nature, deeply interested in America.

Couldn't happen to a better person. I am sure MSNBC, Current, or Al-Jazeera will hire him.
Title: Piers Morgan leaving CNN
Post by: I_B_Perky on February 23, 2014, 06:42:45 PM: Headline: America is fed up of me: Morgan to quit CNN job

Link: Bye bye!!!! (http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/medianews/article4014060.ece?CMP=OTH-gnws-standard-2014_02_23)

Note: Not much to the article. They want money. Got it off drudge.

Exerpt:

"The former tabloid editor, who has transformed himself into a cable news personality, said that dwindling viewing figures and an anti-gun campaign that alienated a vast swath of his audience had led him to conclude his show had "run it's course".

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!! That is how you have success, dumbass. Piss off your audience. Now go back to where you came from, loser.

13. Maybe CNN could replace Morgan with Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear

Clarkson is still an annoying, arrogant, insulting Brit, but at least he is funny.

I'd actually watch that...

They're delusional if they think keeping him on makes any kind of sense.

I don't even think the most freedom hating liberal on the planet liked Piers Morgan. Kind of person you just want too smack across the room the moment he opens his mouth.

Only thing I'd add to "Bye-Bye" is "Don't let the door hit you in the ass to hard on your way out, cause you might like it".

They loved his gun-grabber mentality though. It was always funny seeing him debate a pro-2A person on Twitter. Got handed his head over and over again.
