Piers Morgan’s new show on TalkTV has seen a slide in viewership so bad in just the first few days that executives at Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation are discussing how much of a failure he is, and others are already privately comparing the disaster launch to the short-lived failed CNN+ streaming service.
Morgan’s interview with former President Donald Trump on his first two nights of the show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, seems to have spiked ratings significantly at the launch as on Monday — the first day of the show and of the interview — Morgan came in with nearly 400,000 viewers. But by Tuesday, the second day of the interview and the show, the public lost interest in Morgan and he dropped to just 215,900 viewers. Then, on the third day of his show after the Trump interview was over, Morgan fell by half again down to just 123,000 viewers.
That means in just two days Morgan has seen a 70 percent drop in viewers, and seems to be losing relevance and interest from the public quickly after Trump and his top communications aide Taylor Budowich crushed Morgan’s mishandling of a deceptively edited interview promo.
Morgan’s abject failures may also be decimating the entire TalkTV network effort, as his Wednesday guest Sharon Osbourne — who has her own show on the platform — also dropped in ratings after she appeared with the bumbling British broadcaster this week.
The original 30-second clip, released last week, made it appear as though Trump stormed off the set mid-interview upset with questions from Morgan about the 2020 election. But when Morgan released the deceptively edited promotional clip, Budowich — Trump’s communications director — released audio of the ending of the interview proving it was indeed deceptively edited to falsely portray Trump as storming off...

CNN+ Part 2
Morgan: “You can’t cancel me!”
But can he self-cancel?
This was the dopiest show opening I’ve ever seen. Trying to sandbag Trump had to be pitched to him, right?
I could see him pitching it.
He’s a pompous jerk.
I hope he gets it someday the way Jim Everett went after the jerk Jim Rome.
Why do Republicans ever agree to be interviewed by the press without making their own recordings? Of course the press will edit, mismatch questions and answers, pretend they aren’t recording to get gotcha videos, and a hundred other tricks. But still the stupid party doesn’t learn. Fortunately Trump plays this game in multiple dimensions.
“Uncancelable”……you keep saying that word……i do not think it means what you think it means. /s
Anti-gun, anti-Trump and a douche.
Fox Nation fail.
Morgan no doubt had an idea of what it meant, at least as to how he would apply to himself.
And it may in fact be he who applies it to himself.

Fox News, the Murdoch's and their wives absolutely hate Trump.
They think the world hates Trump as much as they do.
I suspect Trump has achieved much more respect over the last
15 months, even outside the nation.
Biden, not so much...
Obama, likewise > IMO...
Morgan was chased out of Britain. They couldn’t stand him.
He’s an ahole. He’s not an American citizen either.
Is an audience of 123,000 below expectations for this show?
Yup. One thing that Trump has pointed out to news organizations and politicians on both sides of the aisle is the difference between faux popularity And the real thing.
They drive on the wrong side in the UK...
The price of fake bites back and lasts a long time.
I think there’s something to that observation. Thanks.
