Today's news is that Piers Morgan is being dumped by CNN. Wait, I guess I should say that CNN and Morgan are parting company. You see, even when it comes to parting company, Morgan and CNN cannot be honest.
Unless something strange happens, this is just the first of many changes at CNN. Crossfire which appears on CNN at 6:30 Eastern time now has ratings so low that they indicate that not even all the family members of the cast are still watching. Other shows on the network likewise have anemic ratings.
The simple truth is that no one wants to watch a network that is just "MSNBC lite". If someone wants slanted news that pretends not to be slanted, there are always ABC, CBS and NBC. CNN has lost its niche.
Piers Morgan himself was a great exemplar of the failure of the network. He was boring. He was a purveyor of spin rather than news. His guests were lame, Basically his show was monotonous propaganda.
My guess is that we may soon see a major shift at CNN. Who knows--instead of news, the network may soon become another QVC or a cartoon network.
