They are blaming it on his being too british.

He was horribe though....the British thing just made it more obvious

I watch him on cnn international all the time. I think the problem was that he was obnoxious and polarising.

Please, even the British didn't even seem to love him. For years he was dismissed as nothing but a tabloid reporter without any integrity.

Nope. CNN has been in the gutter ever since Jeff Zucker took over. Which was a horrendous move.

Then again, other than PBS/NPR and on occasion CBS, I don't get any news or opinion from American media.

How you gonna blame Jeff Zucker? CNN has been in the gutter for years. I don't know what to do to save it at this point.

I'd say Zucker's made it even worse, with nonsense like a revival of Crossfire, which no one wanted to see again.

CNN stands for nothing and has nothing of value to offer. It's just vacuous.

I actually enjoyed his show. His guests always said or revealed interesting things.

Piers' was the only show I could tolerate other than Anderson's. Erin Burnett is so smug and so blatantly biased in favor of the GOP. Same with Jake Tapper. Wolf has become a total joke (or was he always and I didn't notice?).

CNN's formula under Zucker seems to be a mix of Anthony Bourdain and documentaries repeated ad nausem, and a hard move to the right on the "news" side to appeal to Fox viewers.

The problem is the people who watch Fox will never switch over to CNN beause they have had it drilled into their heads that only Fox can be trusted.

But I'm sure Zucker will continue to try. Maybe he will use the freed up space to give Sippy Cupp her own show.

And I'm sure the gun crowd is taking credit for Piers' show being canceled.

They're blaming the cancellation on his being "too British"? Really? If anything, his British-ness, IMO, was a saving grace. Otherwise, the show was a tremendous waste of air-time (again, IMO).

First, Simon Cowell; and now, Piers Morgan. Something tells me our great love affair with the UK has reached its climax.

Zucker fired Morgan to take the pressure off himself. Blame one guy for the entirety of CNN's poor ratings. This is the same guy who ran NBC into the ground and was fired for it ignominiously, wasn't it? Zucker isn't fit to run a hotdog stand.

It was only a matter of time though for Morgan. If Zucker wasn't there, I still think he would have been fired.

You mean the National Enquirer Network? No.

I liked Piers's show. I wish him well.

Not until after Downton Abbey ends it's run.
