Piers Morgan
 

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....

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.

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.

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

Less than objective.....

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!

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.

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?

:p

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.

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

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.

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.

hes a douche..

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

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.

Uh, oooooh...PARF, here we come!

:D

Surprising that you find Morgan "less irritating" given his incessant rants for gun control. The guy's not even a US citizen. Just sayin'.


-e.

Never seen one of his rants. I just catch the few seconds of the end when I'm waiting for the next show to come on or am flipping around. I find Piers's Queen's English to be a lot easier on the ears than Larry's Queens English.

wow.

KING: Where were you, what happened?

HALL: I was on my way to my boyfriend's house with dinner in my car, he asked me to stop at a grocery store.

KING: Where was this?

HALL: In South Lake Tahoe. And he asked me to stop at a grocery store and pick up some coffee. And so I did.

KING: Your boyfriend.

HALL: Uh-huh. And I did, and as I came out of the grocery store and got in my car, Phillip knocked on my window and said, you know, I can't seem to get my car to start, it's cold, do you think you could give me a ride, you know, which way are you going? And, of course, he was going to go anyway -- any which way I was going. And so, I did.

KING: Why did you let him in the car?

HALL: I don't know. It was the worst decision I've ever made, I think. It truly was.

KING: What happened when he got in?

HALL: When he got in, I filled his hands with a lot of food that I had in the front seat anyway -- I tried to engage him.

KING: He was holding your food?

HALL: He was. I tried to engage him in small conversation on the trip. Tried to stay on the main street, and when I got ready to turn, he said, where I'm staying is right up the road here. And it was again on another main street that I turned. So I took him a little further up, and then he said, well, it's just around this corner, and I said, well, okay, and I just turned around the corner and pulled over, and he slammed my head into the steering wheel, and pulled out handcuffs. He took my keys out, threw them on the floor, and pulled out handcuffs, and handcuffed me, and said, 'I just want a piece of ass. If you be good, you won't get hurt.'

KING: What did he do with the food?

Agree. Maher is currently the smartest guy on television IMO.

He's a POS - you guys are welcome to him.
Hiding over there to avoid all the phone tapping scandals.
His face is one I would never tire from slapping.

Agree. Cannot stand the whiny little bi***.

I guess no one else read science fiction fantasy books in high school. Whenever I hear the name Piers Morgan I think of the author Piers Anthony. I thought someone else might have the same association with the name.

Just like FauX. Have you ever had a dose of O'Relliey, Hannity and Greta..the "smart?"and this is the best intellectualism that the Conservatives can come up with...

Now I like Rove, Krauthammer, Morris, Hume, and Denis for laughs and giggles...if it were not for them I would be watching reruns of Gilligans Island and lusting after the then vivacious Tina...

But on to the POINT...Whether it be MSNBC, CNN or the mighty FAUX they are all for the RATINGS and thus commericial interests. Which means SENSATIONALISM to get RATINGS. That is why ole Charlie Rose and his nice sedate with no fanfare interviews which are not based on Sensationalism has become an important venue for the movers and shakers of the world to get their message out to OTHER MOVERS AND SHAKERS IN THE WORLD.
