His ratings are even lower than Larry King's when they fired him!
Some local radio shows actually draw more in the 18- 49 group than Piers does! It's amazing he already hasn't been fired! It's gotta be just a matter of time! |

I keep reading that CNN's ratings are low for everything, not just Piers.
On Headline News, they really did a great job with the Daytime Emmy's. NOT!!! That network now bores me. Everytime I tune in all they talk is politics. I am not American by the way, however I used to enjoy that network more in the past. |

I think Piers Morgan's show is actually one of the few bright spots on an otherwise atrocious channel. If they did cancel him, they'd most likely just replace him for someone with equally bad, or worse ratings for that matter. I think he's a decent interviewer, and always books good guests, so I'm hoping they keep him. If they do fire him though, he'll probably just go to fox news, and get three times the ratings. lol That's oftentimes how it goes when a CNN reporter gets fired.

When CNN premiered in the 80's, I watched it all the time. It was the first live 24/7 news channel and they had exciting, innovative shows like Crossfire, the Capital Gang, CNN Overnight, etc, with great personalities like Patrick Emery, Tom Braden, Pat Buchanan, Larry King and Michael Kinsley.
Now the network bores me to tears. Their ridiculous and lazy overuse of new media (constant blather about people posting on Facebook and Twitter and texting them, YouTube videos, etc.) is just pandering to young people, not trying to fulfill their higher function of informing them about important events. Don Lemon? Bill Cafferty? Piers Morgan? These people are newspeople? I'm a registered Democrat who slowly began to like Fox News (though I often strongly disagree with some of their commentators) because it was relevant, interesting and created an atmosphere of familiarity that kept me coming back. I never even browse CNN anymore. |

For years, people use to say Fox News was just biased, but CNN was THE source for news. Well, fewer and fewer people go to "the source" anymore.
Piers Morgan is just an arrogant jerk, but I get the same vibe from Anderson Cooper and everyone seems to love him, but I got burned out on the 24-hour news channels years ago. |

I enjoy Juan Williams on Fox. My buddy Preston can't stand him because of his liberal views, but I actually kind of like him. I rarely agree with him, but I still like him. He does a good job as a contributor and guest host on many shows.
I have actually never seen Lou Dobbs on Fox, didn't even know he was there, I'll have to check him out sometime. |

Lou Dobbs was the only reason I used to watch CNN back in the day. He's much better on the FOX Business network. Lou Dobbs and Neil Cavuto are my favorites. I like Bill O'Reilly, too. The only ones I really despise on that network is Sean Hannity and Geraldo Rivera. Mostly Hannity. I just can't stand his personality. Maybe Alan Combs left because he also couldn't stand his personality.
