Whoever they replace him with will be a tremendous improvement over Piers.
I never watched his show except for when he interviewed Trayvon's friend Rachel from the Zimmerman trial.
Seems like his parting speech was a re-iteration of what I've heard he screamed loudly and repetitively on his show over the years. It read to me like, "I love you too much to stop prosthelytizing and to allow you to kill each other off, America".
IDK. I don't think he lost his show because of his gun views or politics -- every talk show host and interviewer has political views. I've seen some video clips from his show over the years. I think Morgan was a poor interviewer, he didn't captivate the audience, and that's why his ratings were low. The NRA and the gun lobbyists didn't shoot Piers in the foot. He got canned because CNN made a business decision to terminate a poor performer whose return on investment for the network was minimal or negative. IMO.
