Correct me if I’m wrong, but weren’t people angry that Stewart wasn’t partisan at his rally? Wasn’t his speech more along the lines of, Washington doesn’t get anything constructive done and neither does cable news?

I wonder if Piers heard Stewart rip CNN apart for hiring him on Larry King. It was a pretty funny interview with an entire segment on CNN bashing.

They both agree that Anderson Cooper is about the only good thing left on CNN.

Does Piers Morgan make any sense?

“His [The US] government was killing its people. Brilliant.” Sounds pretty partisan to me. Yes, lots of people were letting their country down, and the government didn’t well. But to say the US government was “killing” its people is something that only a partisan person could say. A leftwinger or a British outsider to the US.

If CNN keeps doing what it’s doing, only “louder,” it won’t change a thing. It’ll be just loud-boring.

Anderson Cooper’s coverage of Katrina was great. So was Shepard Smith’s. There are talented people who do great in-the-moment coverage of inherently dramatic situations like Katrina. But that does not make a successful network every hour of every day.

Cooper is usually the best prescription to a sleeping pill, and his ratings reflect that.

CNN isn’t biased huh? Then why is the only “conservative” on the network most well known for bashing conservatives? Where are the liberals who bash other liberals on CNN? Where is ANYONE on CNN that bashes or takes to task the left/Democrats?

CNN is just as biased as Fox or MSNBC.

You’re right, Cooper and Smith both had great Katrina coverage. But his goal was to complement something from CNN not Fox.

It’s not a surprise that leftist “Corrupt B-tards” cnn would have to hire an immigrant to do a job no self-respecting American citizen would do – namely, appear on their socialist propaganda network.

The measure of all 3 cable networks is whether or not they’re actually giving you the facts or making them up. It’s not about how many Liberals or conservatives they have. CNN is just boring. As for Morgan, he’ll get his clock cleaned by Maddow. Perhaps CNN hired this guy because now they too will have some Reality Show dolt on their network? As for the rubes who watch fox, they don’t want actual news. Just someone to tell them that everything is Obama’s fault. Just remember that fox is on the side of Republicans who only care about one thing right now….tax cuts for the wealthy which doesn’t include any of you who watch. Oh, and here’s a little something for you teabaggers.

Everyone bashes stupid. You’re paranoia that everyone is “liberal” is founded in the group brainwashed fear of the Faux Newz branding that everyone “hates” the Republicans for being “proud Americans and Christians” – the only truth to that is – Republicans are celebrating stupid and using false morality and false patriotism to do very bad things. Everyone that you call “Liberal” (everyone that doesn’t drink the RNC kool-aide) are no such thing – they just don’t fall into line as easily as the uneducated Americans that follow idiots like Beck, Limbaugh, O’Reilly, Colture, Palin and the countless number of other parrots that repeat idiocy as if it were fact.

As Lewis Black once said. We have two political parties. On has multiple ideas and views which is complicated enough and one party has one view/one voice (I shouldn’t have to, but I’ll help you – Democrats have multiple views and the Republicans walk in goose-step). For example, a democrat might say, “Hey, that hummer ran over a cat.” The Republicans would counter with, “No, the cat committed suicide. Give me three days to find the suicide note”. Truth and facts don’t have two sides and this is why we’re ticked off that the President would even consider compromise with the morons who put us in this economic disaster today. The cat did not commit suicide. It was run over by the hummer. There is no suicide note and there is no equality when it comes to reporting truth and fact – it’s either it is or it isn’t. Everyone else (liberals) do their best at honest and journalism. Fox/Murdoch/RNC are unapologetic propagandists with hate, fear and smear agendas to float the lies and distortions of the Republicorp. agenda. Beck, Palin, Huckabee, Hannity, O’Reilly, Colture, et. al. don’t believe the nonsense, but they do get paid well to sell it to the sheep that buy it.

The dude that beat Trace Adkins on Celebrity Apprentice…still a bit bitter about that, haha.

He hasn’t had his first show yet and I don’t care. Doubt I will when he’s on unless he surprises me.

Don’t cha love it when a “nobody” takes it on himself to criticize someone like Jon Stewart? I don’t always agree with Stewart but i thought his ending speech at the rally was well-though-out and he tried to be fair to all. It was great! You could just hear the moans, though, from those who didn’t agree. Maybe it they would have listened, there would not be as muxch HATE out there.

“…the bowels of the Mandarin bar at midnight…”??? Wow, Piers sounds like fun!

Calling Morgan Stewart’s peer is ridiculous.

As a Brit I find it kind of funny Piers Morgan has tried to reinvent himself in this manner and foresee this show to be a complete disaster for CNN who should be focusing on hard news rather than the latest celebrity gossip. Let me fill you guys in on Mr Morgan and what he has done in Britain the completely contradicts his new found non-partisan nature.

Well Piers Morgan was editor of the Daily Mirror, a liberal tabloid, in the UK. As editor he became a bit of a bully to those he didn’t really see eye to eye with. For example, if you’re interested the look on his Wikipedia page under Ian Hislop (the editor of the British satirical magazine Private Eye). Moreover, he has made several appearances on a BBC programme named Question Time (where politicians from various parties in the UK answer questions from the audience on current affairs) in which he frequently advocates a liberal position on policy matters and favours Labour constantly.

Therefore, as a Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert fan, I found it rather amusing how Piers is now this ‘most trusted name in news’ and will not succumb to any form of liberal bias in his programming. Furthermore, I think his comments show a lack of research given that the rally held by Stewart was really targeting the media and how it pitted Conservatives/Liberals against each other rather than finding compromises.

Most people in Britain find him smug; arrogant and a general asshole really so enjoy America!
