Piers Morgan

[Dottore]

Anyone else think this guys days at CNN are numbered?

He's such a light-weight, oleagenous, brown-nosing narcissist. Makes Larry look brilliant in retrospect.

....swarmy....that's the word I was looking for....

[stomachmonkey]

smarmy was the word you were looking for

and those Droids you were looking for....

that was them

My buddy (the one whose motorcycle I'm hiding in my garage) is a big fan. He says it's refreshing to have a foreigner's perspective on US issues. I find Piers to be a lot less irritating than Larry King, but then I've never spent more than two min. at a time watching either one. I like Anderson Cooper a lot and sort of watch him at night out of sympthy because his ratings suck so bad and I want to boost them a little.

[JavaBrewer]

Piers on CNN started well enough but over the last year has become a rather narrow minded twit pushing his own ideals and agenda. Do not want.

[cantdrv55]

Too much of a BO ball washer and at the same time, sucks up to Trump

[Joe Bob]

Less than objective.....

[ckissick]

Oleagenous? Nice word!

Had to look it up: Oleaginous (sorry, you spelled it wrong - minus 1 point): containing oil; unctuous; fawning; smarmy.

Nothing against the British but there are a lot of English accents lately for instance on Fox news, Piers Morgan and of course the Acura ads. for suvs. I was born in the UK and I like the Canadian/American accents. These imports are used because they think that it will promote their interests. Call me a bigot but these accents turn me off as they have a built in class system. If you don't have the right accent in the UK you may not get the job - I find that extremely sad but was true but may have changed. I like Larry King. Piers Morgan has become a lightweight. I will shut up now!

[speeder]

I don't watch television, (with some rare exceptions), so I've never seen this guy. I did see Larry King once or twice. Larry is one seriously smart dude, i think that he really dumbed himself down a bit for television, and frankly, not to be condescending to his guests.

Did anyone listen to him back in his radio days? He was sharper than a scalpel but he could be brutal with call-in guests.

[dennis in se pa]

Morgan needs to go along with that other chic with a British accent. If I want to listen to news with a British accent I'll listen to BBC.

But he has a heavy-weight voice...right up there with Mike Tyson's.

He can also be annoyingly mucilaginous.

The guy from Larry King Live? For his tombstone, he should choose, "Larry King Dead".

I agree with you David.

I tune in periodically - especially when there's a guest (or guests) I want to hear.

I really don't care if he stays or goes....if I reach my pain threshold - I can always change channels - right?

[intakexhaust]

CNN has become opinionated with sensationalism. It's no longer unbiased news reporting. Morgan's job fits CNN's direction. Actually, for TV news and even of happenings in America, I like the BBC.

[Erakad]

I think you summed him up pretty well....I've suspected for awhile he's not in for the long term.

[dienstuhr]

Can't believe that Piers has skated so well through the whole Daily Mirror cellphone-hacking thing. He's likely up to his neck in it... must be his oleaginosity.

[biosurfer1]

I can't find the link but I saw once that one of his higher profile interviews only had like 200,000 viewers...total. He has some of the lowest ratings on CNN. I doubt he will be around much longer.

edit: this is nt the exact article, but dropping from 521,000 viewers in the 24-35 demo to now only getting 39,000 is bad news

Everyone talks about his Bio of a Space Tyrant series, but I only thought it was OK. The book I likes best was On a Pale Horse. The rest of the Incarnation series were just ok. I agree, he hasn't done anything interesting in years.

[gricec]

hes a douche..

Should be hung up for treason for printing the fake pictures of soldiers peeing on prisoners in the Daily Mirror.

[johnsjmc]

I don,t like Piers very much, too bad Bill Maher is so busy with HBO. he was always pretty good as a sub host for Larry.
