The days of Piers Morgan shooting off his mouth are over.
“Look, I am a British guy debating American cultural issues, including guns, which has been very polarizing, and there is no doubt that there are many in the audience who are tired of me banging on about it,” he said. “That’s run its course and Jeff and I have been talking for some time about different ways of using me.”
“…different ways of using me.”
I’m torn between using Piers for bayonet practice or hyena bait.
Strangely enough the Times article doesn’t mention the lawsuit against Mr Morgan in England for hacking into people’s phones.
“There are folkways peculiar to America that Mr. Morgan is just learning, including the fact that if you want to stick out, you first have to work on fitting in”
An article in the mainstream press that makes sense? That’s a story right there.
As the replacement for Larry King, Morgan never built any roots with the 9 pm mainstream American audience. His ratings never took off, and unlike Larry, Morgan’s left of centre politics was right out front and centre.
It also didn’t help matters that he was one of the main culprits in the UK celebrity phone-hacking scandal, something CNN no doubt had to work at to keep from being an issue for the Manhattan sniff-and-scratch set. Then there’s this:
“…he was interested in doing fewer appearances to greater effect — big, major interviews that would be events in themselves.”
A sure sign his career is over. Unlike David Frost 30 years ago, he doesn’t have a Richard Nixon to kick around. Unlike Frost, no one is going to trust this Brit git to give them anything resembling a fair shake, especially not on the right.
Piers was drawing 55,000.
Far fewer fans than the Loozyanna Mudfest.

Although it appears to be a bit redneck by Canadian standards,
this is actually more fun than yer typical walkathon to raise money for dyslexic Guatemalan lesbians who suffer from the ravages of lupus.
Bye, bye slimy Limey.
Are you people in the least bit worried that they might try sending him over here?
The Brits don’t want him, the yanks don’t want him…
If he goes back home it will raise the average intelligence of both England and the US.
Piers who?
So Pier … wouldn’t piers imply more than one?
He lost, no one wants to hear him. He hate guns and therefore he hates freedom too. Everyone know that freedom comes from the barrel of a gun.
So Piers (all of you) go back to Britain where it is gun-free but muslim infested …. which do you prefer Pier or Piers A bunch of American rednecks and also millions of more sophisticated Americans who happen to love freedom and security .. with guns???? or a bunch of west hating muslims all over England …. with guns????
“Are you people in the least bit worried that they might try sending him over here?”
Never happen. Canada is too small and uninteresting a place for an ego the size of Piers Morgan’s. I mean, can you see him doing the weather on CITY TV? He’d sooner jump off a bridge I’m sure.
And may I be the first to say, thank Ghod for that.
He be right at home at the CBC….God forbid!!
The CBC will have a few hours to fill on saturday nights… I don’t know how they’ll pay him though. Or how they’ll pay the electric bill actually.
Weeeell, now what we need to do is get rid of that guy from the BBC who lost his UK gig because he helped cover up for Jimmy Saville.
Door. Ass . Bang.
It would appear Americans are catching on to the MSM Media Party Politics. Not so Canadians.
I don’t know how many Kanucks have told me Piers was “Right On”.
Absolutely no understanding of their heritage and how we got to be far more Free than the source Country of out British heritage.
They, the Brits, have forgotten how they dug themselves out from down in the Peerage’s pigsty and what gave them the power to do it.
1689 anyone; The Common Law?
Oh the humanity.
Sorry humility.
As noted this self important condescending prat, would be a natural for CBC.
Peers reporting from Venezuela.
Or as a new leader for the Liberal Party, after the 2015 election.
You have to admit he would seamlessly flow into the oozing slime of CBC news.
Funny how obtuse the new owners of CNN are, for smart business people they are real slow off the mark.
Their product continues to stink, foul other peoples space and poison the airways.
I guess a once big organization leaves a whale of a rotting corpse.
Jeff Zucker CNN was CEO of NBC, booted by Comcast. He has the brains of a used snow shovel. MSNBC slease baron
New York Times likes to write about nothing. The very long story about Morgan could have been shortened to: ‘Morgan no good, spouts baloney. Viewers noticed, wouldn’t watch. Replacement will do the same thing. CNN is cooked’
Send the little toad downunda. I hear they need croc bait in the north.
Bait..?..
Say what you want about Alex Jones, Jesse Ventura and Ted Nugent, they cut this pompous posing Brit an new butthole on second amendment rights – oddly enough these 3 programs had the highest ratings his show ever achieved – you have to believe his producers invite controversial personalities on to beat up Piers because it was the only way to get his ratings out of the sink. Guess they ran out of people who wanted to hang a verbal beating on this intellectual weakling.
He’s just an arrogant guy nobody watched on a network nobody watches. We’ve got Obama, who needs Piers?
“…about different ways of using me.”
Now that got my Great Glengarry Moosehound, Jerome, all excited.
You see, he’s not allowed to take a leak on my truck or skidder tires, and there ain’t no fire hydrants out here, sooooooooo……..
I have to admit, I now watch CNN. Not for their crappy news. Not for their biased leftist viewpoint. Nor for their silly sensationalized non-stories. I watch Anthony Bourdain’s show Parts Unknown where he travels the world and eats and drinks at every little obscure restaurant he can find. The fact that CNN now needs to show documentaries to get viewers displays their utter failure as a news network.
Robert L Don’t forget CNN’s most important purpose; showing Obama ‘doing stuff’.
Huh? I thought MSNBC had the rights to showing Obama “doing stuff” like golfing, playing with Bo, golfing, looking dejected with his lower lip bulged out when he is stifled that his latest “plan” has lowered his approval ratings, golfing, taking selfies at a memorial service for a terrorist, golfing, and eloquently reading text that he didn’t write from a teleprompter. Oh, did I mention golfing?
Parts Unknown is a good show. and like yourself the only thing I will watch on CNN
…different ways of using me…
Host of a CBC talk show about boating in Saskatchewan: “Little Piers on the Prairie”
Black Mamba >
“Are you people in the least bit worried that they might try sending him over here?”
Oh gawd, Justin would publicly pee his panties to have him as a campaign manager.
Just the thought of that possibility ruined my morning.
If CNN really wants higher ratings, all it needs to do is replace Piers Morgan with the Robertson’s of Duck Dynasty. 🙂
Maybe, the Robertson can afford to buy CNN, but allowing it to die a natural death of attrition would be the most humane thing to do.
Nah Obama Bin Lyin gonna make him Director of ATF.
“Chum” is not a friendly term, coming from a fisherman.
Sorry, Morgan’s days of shooting his mouth off are not ever yet.
He is such a supreme idiot that nothing will deter him. He
will no doubt take his show to the Internet.
I say we get Jeremy Clarkson to pop the fop in the mouth again!
