America is fed up of me: Morgan to quit CNN job

Sorry. It was Hannity's increase in popularity that generated the moves. Our local No. #1 station had him immediately following Rush and moved him over to anchor their sister station and boost ratings there. Hannity has almost caught up with Rush in the ratings though Rush is expected to hold on to his #1 spot.

I will say that Savage's fortunes have improved with him moving from #13 three years ago to #5 now.

And Piers Morgan couldn't hold a candle to anybody on that list which is why he is out of a job.

Piers uses large words (more than 3 syllables) and compound sentences, w/appositives, so konservatives can't understand him.

His star has been rising. He has an easy delivery style with content that can hold interest. Though he will comment sometimes when a politician says something really stupid, and as nearly as I can tell, he is a pure classical liberal (i.e. modern American conservative), he doesn't get into partisan politics all that much and that allows him to have a much broader base than he otherwise would likely have.

Piers Morgan could take lessons. :)

He's willing to take unpopular positions, though (he's against raising the minimum wage). I've noticed his asides seem to be becoming more frequent.

He can spell, count to 10, read and write, so he's smarter than most of the foxnews staff.

Yet he fails to hold an audience.

I haven't caught his program more than a few times so don't qualify as a regular listener. But the position he takes seem to be grounded in practical economics. In other words, he provides a nonpartisan rationale.

Piers doesn't do that. His "I'm smart and all who don't agree with me are stupid, flawed, or whatever" style is really off putting to most.
