    Constantly reminded of him calling out Megyn Kelly when she got her time-slot.

    I try to avoid cable news shows, but if I were forced to watch, I will always prefer watching Megyn Kelly to Piers Morgan.:dunno:

    See, I go at it from the other direction. I think that we need way more people in the media telling more and more outrageous lies. That way, maybe there would be fewer and fewer morons who believe everything the media tells them (I mean the media on THEIR side). Because the morons who believe everything the media tells them are, in my mind the biggest enemy to American Freedom, but the thing is, that's been happening since before the printing press.
    I can't blame people for what is in their nature. I do blame the people who understand that nature and exploit it for their own purposes.

    So, to recap:

    He's terrible at fabricating news in the UK - Fired.

    He's terrible at mis-informing about news in the US - Fired.

    What's next? Congress? Wouldn't surprise me. I'm hoping he and Alec Baldwin disappear and share an appartment somewhere.
    I suspect Mrs Baldwin would not be jealous.

    There is a dark side to this sunshiny news.

    In one of the articles I was reading, Morgan said that he was talking to CNN higher ups about doing less appearances/interviews with greater effect.
    In other words, we is still going to be around, cherry picking interviews with people on CNN that agree with him.
    So, I really don't see him going away, just popping up randomly, spewing ignorance, and then disappearing for a while.
    It will be like media Whack-a-mole.
    Whack-a-Morgan?

    I think in practice it would be more that CNN will drag him out when his political views intersects with the interviewee and CNN. That "America is stupid" schtick doesn't play well except to people who already hate America for whatever reasons. And those people tune into MSNBC anyway.

    CNN only had him on because they thought a Brit could get away with trashing guns and race baiting. I'm glad they flushed him...

    They will just fill his spot with another liberal moron. He really made himself look like an idiot. Think about this, a crazy british liberal couldnt even get an audience to watch him on CNN. Now that speaks volumes. Even he couldnt sell communism to the people. He made the mistake of admitting what he truly thinks, instead of lying about it like the politicians do.

    Is anyone else amused by the little weasel's assertion that the real reason he got canned was because he is British? It's just possible that he is so utterly lacking in self-awareness that he truly believes there is no other reason why he would not be beloved, embraced, and respected by all of us. He's just that good. I've always enjoyed British comedy ... even when it's unintentional.

    Sure Piers, it's because you're a Brit...and you're not funny...and you're an @zzhat...and you berate people who disagree with you on your show (although i thought Uncle Ted handed it back to you pretty good)...you drone on and on and on about a topic you simply don't understand. All that.

    If they keep him on and give him a microphone and a television camera again, they're idiots and deserve low ratings.
