The excerpt goes out of its way to dance around the real reasons for the demise of the Piers Morgan show.
1. “This is CNN (and these are our viewers - all four of them)”.
2. I believe his ratings had a pulse until he thought it would be a good idea to turn his dopey little program into the “I Hate Guns Hour”.
But at least Piers is freed from his job! He can now pursue his artistic goals.
Yes, he is no longer a victim of job lock.
