Fox News really tried hard to pimp pompous bloke Piers Morgan on their new British television news channel called TalkTV. For some reason, the idiots at Fox News thought anyone gives a shit what Piers Morgan says or does. Turns out, after that deceptively edited promo video of an interview with Trump, TalkTV and Piers Morgan are turning into CNN Plus. After an initial viewership of 400,000, Piers Morgan and TalkTV have lost 70% of their viewership.
No one likes Piers Morgan. Not the left, even when he was at CNN, certainly not the right and not even the Brits!
Piers Morgan’s new show on TalkTV has seen a slide in viewership so bad in just the first few days that executives at Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation are discussing how much of a failure he is, and others are already privately comparing the disaster launch to the short-lived failed CNN+ streaming service.
Morgan’s interview with former President Donald Trump on his first two nights of the show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, seems to have spiked ratings significantly at the launch as on Monday — the first day of the show and of the interview — Morgan came in with nearly 400,000 viewers. But by Tuesday, the second day of the interview and the show, the public lost interest in Morgan and he dropped to just 215,900 viewers. Then, on the third day of his show after the Trump interview was over, Morgan fell by half again down to just 123,000 viewers.
That means in just two days Morgan has seen a 70 percent drop in viewers, and seems to be losing relevance and interest from the public quickly after Trump and his top communications aide Taylor Budowich crushed Morgan’s mishandling of a deceptively edited interview promo.
Morgan’s abject failures may also be decimating the entire TalkTV network effort, as his Wednesday guest Sharon Osbourne — who has her own show on the platform — also dropped in ratings after she appeared with the bumbling British broadcaster this week.
