I’ll miss you Piers Morgan
CNN has fired Piers Morgan. Partially due to his poor ratings and partially due to his anti-gun beligerant asshattery. But mostly due to ratings.
Anyway, I’ll miss him. This hysterical twit talking down to people over gun issues, when he was clearly ignorant on the topic, probably did more to unite gun owners than if his show never existed. His rantings and ravings were so far removed from reality that, when delivered with that tone showing utter contempt for ‘murrica, he was an asset to us.
I’ll miss him. I mean, he can just get back to running photos that are as false has his beliefs.

But…but…he has an English accent!
Doesn’t that lend ANY authority and credibility
to his resume/CV?

“I mean, he can just get back to running photos that are as false has his beliefs.”
And return to celebrity phone hacking

They’d have been fine with the anti-gun thing, but his real crime was not pulling in the ratings. Heck, he might have even been gone long ago if not for the repeated gun talk- why else did he keep beating that drum? Gun enthusiasts would tune in to hear him get beat down and that boosted ratings. His ratings were in the toilet before all that ever started up.
I’m not so sure if we ran him out of town as much as we extended his career. Now he’ll probably just jump over to MSNBC as a commentator or something on the issue using this as an example of his bona fides- the NRA can’t stand him so he MUST be a legit expert.

I wonder if Al Jazeera is hiring?

“But…but…he has an English accent!”
We’re not thinking about this correctly. See; obviously, CNN is prejudiced against immigrants, and people who “don’t sound like us”. There can be no other possible reason why they’d ever sack a Brit. QED.

He and Nancy Grace need to get together and kick out horrendous little trolls.

Whenever I hear that numbskull speak I automatically wonder where Jeremy Clarkson is when one needs him.

Good. Now deport him.

The guy certainly has a serf’s mentality, so he should be happy back home.
He would be better suited to following Kate Middleton around than challenging Americans about our Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms.
We fought and won wars to not be like the Brits.
And we have dead soldiers in Europe who fought to expel a tyrrant from their soil.
They have no business lecturing us on anything.
