Piers Drags CNN to 21-Year Ratings Low
As if last month’s viewing figures weren’t bad enough for Piers Morgan, official quarterly ratings released yesterday show that CNN has hit a staggering 21-year low. Piers’ prime time chat show has bombed disastrously over the last year, falling 33% in the 24-54 age bracket and 45% overall. US comedians have already started sticking the boot in, with one tweeting:
Piers Morgan has worse Ratings Problems than a Moody's analyst with an undiagnosed brain tumor.—

How much more can his CNN bosses put up with?
Ha HA HA HA HA HA
I am trying to decide which work I will no longer use chuckie or duckie?
He seriously lost his cool on America’s got talent last night as well.
Looks like the yanks have worked out he’s jerk, which means he’ll be back to pour bile over blighty again
maybe he could recover his ratings with an exposé of American troops abusing POWs
It’s called the “Piers Penis” effect
She a’int no lady.
She’s a good friend of mine and is as honest as me.
Like the Guardian (and BBC without inspectors) – another lousy Leftist network that hasn’t the support of the public.
Its worth noting that Leftist CNN’s overall viewing figures are lousy.
Meanwhile, the Fox Network – which isn’t on the Left and actually shows both sides of an issue – goes from stregnth to stregnth increasing its viewing figures every year.
I guess self-loathing, elitist, pompous twits don’t make for good viewing.
When a UK network decides to go-Fox and start putting out non-Leftists news – it’ll do to the BBC what the Mail does to the Guardian every day – grind it into the dust.
“When a UK network decides to go-Fox…..”
You’d think a golden opportunity like this would be staring them in the face, but our media types are a bunch of hopeless, leftie retards.
I do wonder if the Levinson enquiry was nothing more than the Elite’s desperate attempt to stop Murdoch using Sky to Go-Fox and challenge the Left’s iron grip on UK media.
Why does the Levinson enquiry not deal with hacking at the Guardian and Mirror? Why this bizare obsession with Murdoch? I sniff conspiracy.
Why Desmond doesn’t do this with Channel 5 is beyond me. A patriotic, pro-Israel, anti-Eu, Pro-America, anti-Union, anti-BBC news dept at this channel would burry Channel 4 news.
CNN is not just left, they’re not even a serious news station anymore. They’ve gone way downhill in the last 2-3 years.
Never heard of them….
Dennis Miller – best put down of the Century (so far). Brilliant!
Damn does that mean like Cheryl Cole he’ll soon be over paid and over here?
PMSL
That’s me after a massive d… !*
*diet.
Tubby or not tubby?
Eh, soddit, I will have large chips with the Ham omelette.
He will be taking refuge at The Ecuador Embassy in Washington any time soon.
ROTFL
I wonder how his pretty large ego is handling this? I assume someone else is to blame
Can’t sing, can’t act, balding, can’t dance at all.
Super! We’ll send him a multi-million pound contract straight away.
Anyone who can cause so many TV sets to be switched off must be saving us from
Man-Made Global Warming, er hang on,Global Warming, almost got it,CAGWAGW, wait what’s the new one,climate changeno, er, must be needed for ‘sustainable development’.And I’d like to stress that the BBC is fair and independent and the science is
settledirrelevant as ‘sustainable development’ is a political matter, so we should all obey the EU.(Obviously we don’t care that people don’t watch tv – with our special ‘guidance’ to magistrates we’ve managed to convince magistrates that the written law doesn’t matter, and that people need to have a tv licence even to use a tv or computer to watch DVDs. Next – convince them a tv licence is obligatory to access the internet.)
Amazing how a heartfelt assumption of a right to power, influence and success can take a talentless, asskissing jerk-off.
He needs a sodding good kicking, ideally in the back of an Army truck by infuriated squaddies.
Anyone wanna buy the pictures? You wanna cheap watch? You wanna my seester?
How much?
More proof that the Septics don’t do humour. What’s funny about a brain tumour? Does Mr. Miller advise R&M?
Just thought the same. See below
Dennis Miller is my regular Wednesday night guest commentator and my live-theater-show sidekick. I give him the business about being too abstruse in his humor– and he gives ME the business about being a pompous ass. As you can tell, we work well together. (“Abstruse,” as in a “word of the day” at the end of my show: “When writing in to the ‘Factor,’ do NOT be ‘abstruse’!”)
By the way, even his lead-in, Anderson Cooper, a swish who looks like a white rat, and with whom I mop up the floor every night, has better ratings than Piers.
Anderson Cooper should learn to take a breath now and then and not swallow all his words. He comes over as a poor man’s Paxo.
Piers Morgan has worse Ratings Problems than a Moody’s analyst with an undiagnosed brain tumor.
Bit weak. We can surely do better.
- Worse ratings than the Bolivian navy
- worse ratings than a Greek independent financial consultancy
- Worse ratings than a Ben Afleck movie.
- Has managed to attract fewer viewers than you’d expect at a Harriet Harman strip show
and so on
- even worse ratings than the chief economic adviser to the Treasury in 2001?
Lower Ratings than a submarine?
I’ve met some ratings from a submarine. Low as they were, Morgan is lower.
‘Piers Morgan has worse Ratings Problems than a moody anal cyst‘.
I thought referring to ‘Piers Morgan’ and ‘brain’ in the same sentence was just too much. ‘Anal’, however, is in the right ball-park.

Only $450 MILLION to pay this little fine for fiddling LIBOR
After out £500 MILLION “agressive tax avoidance”
And $273 MILLION for money laundering
We will continue to sell ourselves as an example of how banking should be done
Up all yours and ROFL
Any comments from sober co-conspirators?
It is clear that this bank is toxic and has been for years
What are they still hiding?
All banks are b4nkrupt. That’s what they’re hiding.
You mean the UK banks, paragons of how banking should be done according to Call me Dave, have not only ripped off their shareholders but their taxpayers and customers as well
And they are now ban$rupt?
That is quite a feat
Keep up the good work
Shits aren’t they.
The co-founder of BQ ind went to get a bank loan in about 1994.
Manager had said “We have a duty to protect all those little old ladies savings, so can’t risk lending.’
This was when Midland bank had bankrupted themselves lending cash to Latin American dictators. The dictators bought guns and tanks and jets and missile boats with the cash.
When the bank turned up to collect they were told “piss off Gringos. This is our money now.”
My colleague ended up being escorted from the building. We never got the loan. Even though he’d gone in with an already signed contract for orders.
So banks…fine them. Fine them till they squeal for mercy..
I’d bet Gordo’s FSA knew all along, but like everything to do with Gordo he preferred lies over reality.
The FSA knew nothing about anything.
That was their purpose.

First time I’ve ever wished your eye-sight was better.
Maybe not
But everyone else did, apart from Slotbob
How about your aggressive tax avoidance Mr Blair ?
We will get you, you little biuger except if you flee the country like your dictator friends do…
We know, Tony. We know.
Neither did I.
I can understand that…after all you do get “immunity from Prosecution” whilst holding the office of Prime Minister..
CNN should not be taken seriously
Nor should Fox News
They are “entertainers” and not news providers like here on this blog, where we get honest, unbiased and credible information
+1
Er Fox should be taken more seriously by the ratio of viewers.
After all it discovered a market niche, the 88% of Americans that aren’t of the “progressive” religion.
It’s very simple – any news source that we do not approve of should be banned, and The Guardian should get a massive subsidy so it can continue its worthy quest. Those hideously white Sun readers just do not know what is best for themselves you know. Another canape?
We don’t care that Fox News gets lots of viewers. We prefer exclusive news outlets like The Guardian, with it’s massive claimed circulation that beats the Lincolnshire Echo hands down.
According to the last figures from the Audit Bureau of Circulation the Lincolnshire Echo had an average daily circulation of 17,151.
The Guardian claims 358,844. So the Guardian still has a few years of gentle, Polly paying, top salary earning, pension pot filling, decline left.
Mind you, the Lincolnshire daily echo became the Lincolnshire weekly echo a few years ago. Maybe the pinko paper will follow and just become a Sunday special.
Travel, finance, cooking, arts and bundles of bed wetting supplements.
I find Hozelock does the job quite nicely.
H-h-h-h-h-hold on. Hold on.
The Guardian and Observer lost £45 million last year, which is only about £130’000 per day. Thus they lose about 50 pence for each copy sold.
There will be strong continuing negative growth in the profit margins as the losses continue up and the circulation continues down.
I commend that business model to the house.
Dammit, I should have said £45 millions.
It used to really, really, really piss me off when he insisted on pluralising million/billion.
He pissed me off whenever he opened his lopsided, saggy gob.
The guardian is gradually shrinking, it sells off its regioanl newspapers and its radio interests, all it has left is the observer and the guardian. it is kept afloat by a second hand car business. So i reckon in 3 years time the observer will be sacrificed to save the guardian unless it can off load autotrader and bank the money to support the guardian.
It will continue until the dumb fuckers who seem to like pouring money down the drain realise that – like all tribal, leftist, socialist vanity projects – The Guardian will last almost exactly as long as Daddy is paying the bills.
What the fuck is in it for them, for Christ’s sake?
The reason lefties get so het up about Murdoch is that they presume he is an insidious figure wanting to have undue influence on the media, politics, public life and expenditures.
Why do the left presume this? Because it is exactly what they are up to themselves.
Murdoch just wants to make money.
At least Lenny Paurie had the good sense to jump ship to the Indo.
I’m 65.
I’ve stuffed my personal pension pot so full its in danger of bursting. I can crow how I only earn £100k a year. But that excludes all the ‘contributions’ that the employer makes to the golden goodbye.
I could leave anytime. I could retire and let little Laurie become queen of the harpies. I’m certainly rich enough. If I lived another 30 years I wouldn’t be short.
I hope it does continue. If the guardian can just carry on slowly sinking, they’re still sticking 10′s of thousand’s in the retirement pot. And giving me 100′s of thou each year.
I’d like it to last about another three years. Then I’ll retire.
As soon as Ed Miliband is PM. That will be the crowning glory. The first time in 40 years Polly Pot will have got an election prediction right.
You must stay around to be an inspiration to little Laurie. She desperately needs something.
>it is kept afloat by a second hand car business
Its also kept afloat by millions of pounds of subsadies from the British tax payer, in the form of ads for bonkers jobs – all of which could be advertised for pennies online.
We love “Mr Jay”
He even sounds British
You mean like this ?
I think the Leveson enquiry is a WET FART
Heard throughout the world
When will he and his humming jay start to get to the BOTTOM of all the thuggery, buggery and skulduggery involved in the UK Press?
Leave me to count my millions in peace. I’ve just got a coupla good share tips I want to punt on.
We think Piers should do a chat about “coercive” sex in prisons. Given that he soon will be getting first hand experience of it.

Oh, you can type it. But it is magically transformed into something that was quite funny about three years ago, though the joke is now as stale as a politician’s armpit.

You’ve got genital warts and I claim my £5.00.
Keep shaking it.
Where’s my fiver, bitch?
Claim invalid. Looking at it now and your condition not met.
p.s. Do you find they increase friction nicely?
Not as much friction as you get with your genital warts, warty.
Just on general principle, continue doing the ModBot avoidance techniques, as you never know when the boss will change his mind about it again.
Too late
I reckon the yanks are not as dumb as they look.

Anyhoo. What goes around comes around. I reckon the feather duster will be polishing Cowell’s dusty c*ck again.
You do have to laugh at the sheer brass neck of the BBC and ‘Nu Labia’. Some lefty mong called Chris Leslie just been on the BBC news claiming that Barclays dodgy doings over the Libor rate is disgraceful and Labour have been challenging the current government to do something about it.
Yet it appears that this dodgy dealing went on UNDER the last Government, so why don’t Labour first say sorry and then admit it was their shitty FSA that once again let the public down.
Be fair they were only the government for 13 years you can’t expect Labour to be responsible for everything that happened between 1997 -2010….can you. Christ they’ll be telling us next that the financial mess was nothing to do with THEM
According to Press reports, this was going on between 2005-2009. Who was in government then ? Was n’t this during The Reign of Terror 1007-2010 ? During the Brown/Balls ‘light touch regulation’ phase ?
Please pay attention.

You’re fired!!
Of course, as a reward for his services to British journalism, Piers could be given a “Pierage,” if you will; cheap pun to be sure, but they’ve been given to bigger criminals than him.
Like walking the plank, but on a larger scale?
If Jeremy Kyle decides to call it a day, he can always forge a new career interviewing rednecks on daytime TV. Oh, hang on…
