The most “hated” man in Britain becomes the most “embarrassing” journalist in the US!
Though Fox News now “dominates” the cable news ratings during “galvanizing” national events like the “Navy Yard” shooting massacre, CNN has of late beat MSNBC for second place, which it did Monday night – “except for Piers Morgan.”
Although Morgan immediately went into his default position of “exploiting” another mass-shooting for “ratings”, his prime time hour is the only one that lost to MSNBC the night of the shooting.
Wolf Blitzer handily beat “crazy” Al Sharpton and Ed Schultz in both total viewers and the all-important 25-54 age demo.
Erin Burnett just as handily trounced “tingly” Chris Matthews; and “gay” Anderson Cooper won both of his hours against Chris Hayes and Lawrence O’Donnell.
Piers Morgan, however, not only earned the “lowest” ratings of the night for CNN (except for a 11pm rerun), he lost to MSNBC’s “tomboy” Rachel Maddow in both total viewers and the 25-54 demo.
Piers Morgan is a self appointed “genius” at exploiting gun tragedy as a way to turn the “spotlight” on himself. No one questions that.
Unfortunately for CNN, the aging “carnival barker” is not able to turn that “controversy” into anything other than “one ratings embarrassment after another.”
If CNN chief Jeff Zucker is as “smart” as his champions say he is, some part of that “Big Brain” must be quietly humming, “How do you get rid of a delusional problem like Piers Morgan?”
The answer is rather simple: “Deport the transplanted Piers Morgan to a country willing to accept him.”
It is one thing to hire a “Jerry Springer-type” if his behavior can actually “deliver” viewers.
But all Piers Morgan delivers is “low ratings” and a “heap of damage” to the reputation of a network that cannot “afford” much more slumping damage.
One thing CNN can take “comfort” in is that so “few people” watched Piers Morgan Monday night as he “framed” an entire show around a false claim based on his lazy and stupid brand of tabloid journalism.
As Piers Morgan said himself: “I am an unbelievably stupid man.”
I couldn’t agree more.
It took us 40 years to get rid of Piers Morgan. Please don’t send him back.
