A Brit To Replace Larry King

A Brit To Replace Larry King

The headline: Piers Morgan to Replace Larry King.

I don't know anything about this Piers Morgan dude, other than what I read on-line. He's a Brit. That means he's from England. That means he is not from the USA. My question is: Couldn't CNN find somebody from the states?

This choice seems to fit right in with falling ratings. This is walking backwards with ones eyes closed. The program Larry King hosted for so many years was an American talk show. Larry sat down behind his suspenders and asked the questions of guests that a whole lot of people wanted to hear asked. He asked those questions and he let the guests answer them. This is a skill, which he acquired from many years on talk radio, back when talk radio was noted for interesting talk and not for shrill politics,

What does a Piers Morgan know of America? Maybe CNN is going to give the country a different kind of show, because there is an ocean of difference between Larry King and Piers Morgan, and I wouldn't be surprise that there will be just as much distance between Mr. Morgan and the American audience.

A Brit To Replace Larry? With this kind of thinking, I can see why CNN's ratings are sinking.
