Piers Morgan says Anderson Cooper's poor ratings led to the cancellation of his CNN show

Piers Morgan blames Anderson Cooper's show for Morgan’s awful talk series being canceled by CNN. "Could I have done with a better lead-in? Yes." Morgan tells Politico. "Anderson is a great field reporter, but does he drive big ratings at CNN, outside of a big news cycle? I don't see any evidence of it. And yet the whole bank was being bet on him at 8 and 10 o'clock."

Morgan also throws his old CNN boss Jeff Zucker under the bus and pleads with Rupert Murdoch to give him a job. Morgan claims Zucker took his show away because there were "not enough guests," but offered him another show, which he declined. He's still dying to be on TV, though.

If you need a better lead-in, you are not much of a draw.

Suck it up, Piers. Your show sucked and your show failed.

If Morgan is unemployed, why hasn’t he been sent home. He wants Rupert Murdoch to give him a job? I don’t think Rupert is ready for the kiss of death.

Typical lib.

When he fails he blames others for his own failings.

If he didn’t have Cooper to blame, he’d blame George Bush or global warming.

I never quite understand why there are so many foreigners on American TV, and how they get green cards to work in this country. Don’t we have enough American born liberals to be on TV and lecture us about gun control???

Low ratings caused a cancellation? I’m Glad Piers was here to splain that to us.

No Piers. You’re show got cancelled because people don’t like the progressive, liberal bs, particularly the gun grabbing sentiments, that you spew from your mouth so just about everyone started flipping the channel when you came on. You ruined your own career with your own mouth.

This guy is no different from Obama. Every screw-up is somebody else’s fault except his own.

How many times are you allowed to die on TV?

Piers, you never disappoint! Déclassé to the bitter end, dude. Bitter end. You really ought to consider yourself the UK would even let you back in after we finally managed to drive you out of the U.S.

Because the left thinks it sells better coming with a British accent. Sort like that new John Stewart wannabe on HBO.

Ain't that the truth.

If he didn’t have Cooper to blame, he’d blame George Bush or global warming.

Maybe he could also blame the American intelligence community for not telling him anything.
