Piers Morgan Admits His Gun Control Rants Contributed to CNN Show's Demise
Breitbart's Big Journalism ^ | February 23, 2014 | AWR Hawkins

With CNN president Jeffrey Zucker planning to "pull the plug" on Piers Morgan Live, " Morgan admits his anti-gun rants divided and alienated viewers.

According to The New York Times, Zucker has been watching Morgan's show hit new ratings lows and is ready to go a different way with the 9 p.m. slot.

Morgan spoke to the coming end by admitting he's "been taking a bath in the ratings." He added: "Look, I'm 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."

Morgan believes he's now "in danger of being the guy at the end of the bar who is always going on about the same thing"--guns, in this instance--and that he probably alienated a lot of heartland Americans by being "this British guy telling them how to lead their lives and what they should do with their guns."

On February 21st, Breitbart News reported on a Variety Magazine article that showed Morgan's already faltering ratings fell "more sharply" once gun control "became a frequent subject" on his show....

You're not supposed to kill your TV show, Piers. Dumbass.

Never fear. Communist News Network will find someone just as left wing to replace him.

His embarrassing defense of St. Skittle’s witness friend didn’t help either

As much as I hate to admit it, He’s apparently not quite as stupid as I thought he was!

This was kinda like me going to England and announcing that the monarchy should be dismantled and Buckingham Palace should be turned into section 8 housing.

Piers is lucky that he is so darn good looking, cause he doesn’t have much else going for him...

He served his purposes. The leftist elites have no use for them.

Just like they'll have no use for militant blacks, gays, envirowackos, feminists, and unions when they consolidate power and live like kings while the masses starve/executed.

Recent events in the Ukraine, Egypt and elsewhere say otherwise.

I actually tuned in for a couple of minutes for the first time tonight and was astounded at how bad he sucked.

Interviewing some creep and his lawyer about the "Wolf of Wall St" for Christs sake .

Morton Downey Jr.'s moldy corpse would be more interesting.

Good looking? Sorry, I disagree.

Actually, what makes Morgan unattractive is not his outward physical appearance, but rather, a lot of ugliness in his heart that seems to ooze out of his pores every time he opens his mouth.

I hope his next gig will be in some weenie socialist country. He should feel right at home there.

I think they actually helped his ratings at that time. People wanted to see him lose.

Fox News was out promoting Rubio’s amnesty and some fiscal conservative discussions. Piers was bringing in Alex Jones and Larry Pratt.

Piers left due to illness and fatigue.
Viewers were sick and tired of him.

There might have been a hint of sarcasm in my post.
