Newly minted CNN 9 PM host Piers Morgan knows he is not a familiar journalistic face to American audiences. He also knows that the cable news landscape is full of big personalities and opinions.
Morgan has no intention of aping the competition, or using his new platform to push a political agenda.
"I have a lot of opinions, do I want to shove them down my viewer's throats? No, there are enough people doing that on cable news at 8 or 9 o'clock at the moment," Morgan says. "I don't want people to view me as a political animal, I don't put my own politics into it. CNN's one objective with the new schedule is to be provocative, aggressive and ballsy, and to seek out the truth."
Morgan's new boss, CNN/US president Jon Klein, echoed that point:
"I think you have lineup of fearless, aggressive journalists who will ask tough questions throughout the evening, they will hold public officials accountable," Klein says. "Having Piers as part of a lineup that includes Anderson [Cooper], Kathleen [Parker] and Eliot [Spitzer] on top of that, it is a lineup that is beholden to no side, you cant find that in primetime in cable news."
