Morgan’s prime-time show is now mulch.
He was most famous for trying to return America’s gun laws to pre-revolutionary standards.
No, even that noted conservative tool, the NYTimes, caught that:
Mr. Morgan’s approach to gun regulation was more akin to King George III, peering down his nose at the unruly colonies and wondering how to bring the savages to heel. He might have wanted to recall that part of the reason the right to bear arms is codified in the Constitution is that Britain was trying to disarm the citizenry at the time.
I, for one, was looking forward to dumping the unctuous old Pom into Boston Harbor.
But I’ll settle for this, for now.
He may have to find a new profession. Once one gets basically run out of their home country for being a jerk (he was too sleazy even for left wing England) and then get booted from the “tolerant” U.S. market (an even more left wing country), where else can he go? Well, maybe Russia.
I have to give the NYT columnist some due here; He notes that Morgan’s incessant gun control shows wore thin quickly, even though he (the columnist) agreed with the spirit of what Morgan was doing. I wasn’t a viewer of Larry King, CNN or really any of these cable “news-fo-tainment” shows including the ones on Fox News prior to Morgan and seriously doubt I’ll watch Morgan’s successor. I put no value in watching people trying to outshout or play gotcha with each other.
FWIW: If they are going for the millennial demographic (odd, since these people have no money) they should just do three hours of hipsters critiquing viral Youtube videos and the latest game you play on your phone. Seems to be the main thing young “adults” are interested in these days. Thanks Union Teachers!!
And so long Alec Baldwin:

It’s all about him.
A person with more introspection would go from the specific to the general and lament the power that the so-called elite have to destroy any person’s ambitions, not just Alec Baldwin’s ambitions.
