Gun Control so popular, it cancels Piers Morgan's show

Good Riddance To Bad Rubbish – CNN Confirms America Hates Piers Morgan…

Keep in mind that's the NY Times, and the softest approach you'll see to what is only total and complete rejection of Piers by anyone who watches television.

Here is a funnier one:

Quite true, we've thoroughly rejected him. In this profoundly anti-intellectual land, we are not interested in opinions other than our own. We have a word for anything that we ourselves did not think of: "un-American". We use it as a pejorative.

 

Morgan wasn't interested in opinions that regularly ran counter to his own - that was his downfall.

BSNBC is a better fit for him than CNN. Will probably be making that announcement shortly.

 

Admittedly I do NOT care what a fat ass blow hard Brit thinks of our gun laws.
It's none of his fucking business. I certainly don't run around telling Brits to stop wasting their lives obsessing over the "Royal" family. The king and queen are part of their history and culture. Firearms are an integral part of our history and culture.

I personally have no issue with other peoples opinions. PROVIDED they're based on verifiable facts history and statistics. There in lies the problem with gun critics.
For the most part their "arguments" are based on lies deception misinformation and rhetoric.
IF they would embrace reality and the facts. They wouldn't be gun critics to begin with.

 

It is more like Piers was so obnoxious that he is unemployable. Remember that Mr. Morgan came to the U.S. after being kicked off the air in the U.K. - where no TV station would hire him. No major public personality wants to come on his show to be insulted by Piers. This led to his record low news program ratings for the 9pm prime T.V. time slot.

At this point he's pretty much unemployable in the U.S. and the U.K. - except that Piers could land a stint on Al Jazeera English that has a small presence in the U.S.

 

This is a little harsh, but mostly true.

12 REASONS WHY EVERYONE HATES PIERS MORGAN

Here are twelve reasons why the shade of Andrew Breitbart isn't the only one on cloud nine on this, the happiest of days.

1. The man's an arse.
'One day you're cock of the walk, the next a feather duster,' it says at the top of his Twitter profile.
This piece of rueful, worldly wisdom would be quite charming - moving, even, given what has just happened - if it weren't printed on top of a background boast-o-graph showing Nelson Mandela apparently laughing uncontrollably at one of Morgan's jokes.

2. The man's a traitor.
Possibly the lowest of the many lows in his career as a tabloid editor was his 2004 Daily Mirror cover photograph purporting to show British soldiers in Iraq abusing hooded detainees.
Despite widespread criticism that he was putting the lives of British servicemen at risk and acting as a recruiting sergeant for Al Qaeda, Morgan stood by his great scoop, insisting that his revelations were in the public interest.
It subsequently emerged that the photos were a hoax. But even after this had been proved beyond reasonable doubt, Morgan refused to apologise.
"All I want to say is we published the truth," he told the ITV News Channel. "We have revealed a can of worms. If the government chooses to ignore that, it is entirely a matter for them."

3. But though he's happy to sell soldiers down the river in the name of free speech, he doesn't actually believe in free speech.
For example, when a sanctimonious footballer called Stan Collymore started trying to have people arrested for sending him racially offensive insults on Twitter, Morgan was quick to support him. “I agree with @StanCollymore,” Morgan tweeted obsequiously from the US. “You can’t spew racist abuse or make death threats on TV or radio, why should Twitter be any different?”
This a) missed the point that racist abuse is not a death threat and b) free speech, by definition, includes the right to say things people find offensive - a concept you'd have thought any journalist, especially an ex-tabloid editor, would support.

4. He's an historical illiterate who nonetheless insists on pontificating on subjects about which he knows nothing.
Shortly arriving in the US he announced that the Constitution was "well intentioned" but "inherently flawed," which you can imagine sounding plausible - if still wrong - coming from the mouth of a Summa Cum Laude Ivy League graduate who'd majored in Constitutional Law. But from Piers bloody Morgan?
I appreciate that an English accent will carry you an awful long way in the US, but for the benefit of any Americans reading this, I'd just like to point out a basic fact about Piers Morgan. The man, as we used to say at school, is thick as pigshit. Animal cunning he may have in abundance. But intellectual credibility? Zilch. Nada. Niente.

5. He has all the principle of a syphilitic whore.
All right, so maybe in journalism that's an advantage. But do we really believe for one second that, say, Morgan's passionate belief in gun control was anything other than a cynical bid to curry easy favour with liberal America and brown-nose his way into the affections of the "guns are bad, m'kay" showbiz set?

6. He's an ill-mannered brute.
For a taste of his arrogance, bias and total lack of basic human courtesy, check out the must-vomit interview he conducted with Jonah Goldberg.
In an irony apparently lost on Morgan, though not on the author, Goldberg had just written a book about how the left really isn't interested in honest debate, only in passive-aggressive rhetorical tricks designed to make their opponents look evil.
Goldberg said afterwards: "The funny part is that the interview begins with me saying that liberals hide their ideological biases with false claims of moderation and centrism. He then proceeded to prove my point, over and over again."

7. He is an immodest man with much to be modest about - and the reverse Midas touch.
Investigated as part of an insider dealing scandal at the Daily Mirror he was found by the Press Complaints Commission to have breached the Code of Conduct on financial journalism.
In 2004, he was finally sacked by the Mirror for the fake Iraq photos story.
In 2005 an attempt to revive the UK Press Gazette in a £1 million partnership with Matthew Freud ended a year later with the publication going into administrative receivership.
In 2007 he was filmed falling off a Segway and breaking three ribs: four years earlier he had commented in the Mail when George W Bush had had a similar accident: "You'd have to be an idiot to fall off, wouldn't you, Mr President?".
At CNN he took over Larry King's primetime slot and saw audiences nosedive: last week only 207,000 viewers proved capable of enduring his characteristic mix of bluster, prurience and confected moral grandstanding.

8. He's a bore.
Especially his frequent tweets on Arsenal football club, so boring - sample tweet: "I stand 100% behind @MesutOzil1088 - he's a world class player and will prove it. #afc" like we care Piers, like even MesutOzil whoever he is cares - they make you long for the wit, insight and adrenalin buzz of a wall of drying paint.

9. He's a liar.
“I have never hacked a phone, told anyone to hack a phone, or published any stories based on the hacking of a phone," he once told then MP Louise Mensch. But investigations by Guido Fawkes found numerous incidents in which the Mirror, under Morgan's editorship, had illegally hacked and blagged private data "on an industrial scale."
Morgan also boasted about his familiarity with hacking techniques in his published diaries and newspaper articles. And here he is, caught on camera, discussing exactly how to do it. When he testified under oath during the Leveson Inquiry, his slippery manner failed to impress the presiding judge who commented:
"Utterly unpersuasive. This was not, in any sense at all, a convincing answer."

10. He's untrustworthy.
In 2012, Frasier's Kelsey Grammer agreed to appear on Morgan's show - and talk about his ex-wife Camille, just so long as Morgan didn't show any images of her.
So how was Grammer greeted as soon as he got into the hot seat? Why with a photograph of his ex-wife - at which point Grammer did a runner. Morgan rather redundantly announced that Grammer was now banned from his show.

11. He's a nauseating braggart.
Here he is gloating about hanging at the GQ awards with his showbiz chums Justin Timberlake, Samuel L Jackson and Pharell Williams to the (infinitely more popular and successful) Jeremy Clarkson.
"Evening, Clarkson,’ I chuckled.
‘Evening, Morgan,’ he replied, slightly chastened, as Justin, Samuel and Pharell wondered who this rude, pot-bellied oaf was. I made an eye movement suggesting he move on before my A-list friends had their bodyguards remove him. He did."'
The ensuing Twitter feud is well worth a read.

12. He has done more than anyone to set back the cause of Anglo-American relations since Britain's Major General Robert Ross led the burning of the White House in 1814.
Thanks to Morgan, it is now entirely possible that the careers of every single Brit hoping to make it big in the US will have been killed stone dead. This is why we at Breitbart London would like to send out an urgent message to the people of America: "Don't blame us! We have nothing to do with this man whatsoever."

fox brings in one from the other side quite often. that is one of the differences between fox and bsnbc.

CNN pretended to do it but they rarely brought in a real conservative... they sort of brought in a token establishment person and let the panel of libs beat him up.

As annoying as Colmes is... he made hannity and colmes a better show than just hannity. Hannity needs a good smart lefty to push on the issues and crystalize them.
Otherwise its just the same arguments every day until a new story breaks.

 

Oh, woe is you. Give me a break, will you? There is a difference between offering an opinion on something and blaring/shrieking the perceived injustice of something that everyone else seems to be just ok with. There is a quote in one of those articles that is telling. It refers to Piers as that guy at the end of the bar who's always going on about the same topic, so much that everyone avoids going down there to talk to him.

 

So on the old Hannity and Colmes you think Colmes was the annoying one ?

 

Pretty much agree.
