Piers Morgan has revealed that his daily CNN talk show will end within a matter of weeks after failing to attract the size of audience the network expected.

Three years after taking over from Larry King in the coveted 9pm slot, ratings for Piers Morgan Live have not matched rivals such as Fox News and MSNBC, causing network president Jeffrey Zucker to pull the plug on the British journalist.

The show's ratings have fallen from an audience of two million to around 270,000.

Alinsky...

The seventh rule: A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag. Man can sustain militant interest in any issue for only a limited time, after which it becomes a ritualistic commitment, like going to church on Sunday mornings.

The NYT suggests it is because of his accent.

Many, many people point out the popularity of "Downton Abbey" to mock the NYT.

Morgan warned the NRA on Twitter he isn't going away!!!

Pehz is a difficult man to like. He alienated so many people with his personality. One good thing I can say about him was he gave time and money to charities supporting veterans both here and in Britain.
