It's about time CNN realized the one-sided commentaries this illicit, illegitimate story-teller would do to promote his agendas.

The sole reason for this cancellation is low ratings. CNN would have happily allowed him to continue if the ratings were a bit higher. Like all major media, profit is the bottom line. And they are not concerned with reporting actual news. They are more concerned with entertainment. Actual news is boring and has a low profit margin. Entertainment, however equals big bucks. Don't be surprised if Morgan returns under a different format on the same network.

Unfortunately you are probably right-on.

And I was so looking forward to the next, uninformed, asinine thing he was going to say.

I'm not so sure about that. Morgan is under some pretty intense scrutiny about that British tabloid he used to be editor of that is being investigated for hacking celebrities' personal phone voice mail records. He was just interrogated for the second time about it last week. I'm speculating that his goose is about to be cooked by the Brits, or at least seriously tainted, so CNN is casting him aside.

Thanks! Much appreciated! Thought you might appreciate another awesome pic of the same battleship (USS IOWA).

I do believe CNN's ratings as a whole are in the lowest end of them anyway....

I first became aware of Morgan and Cowell on Britain got talent and always had a good laugh when someone like Susan Boyle Paul Potts Charlotta and Johnathan when they would put these arrogant bastards in the their place :lol: :lol:

I found his voice and demeanor most annoying. We can do better. Use Americans.

I agree. I don't understand why CNN thought having a Brit host one of their signature shows was a good idea. I wonder who is replacing him? Anybody know?
