Piers Morgan and CNN have agreed to end his 9 p.m. show “Piers Morgan Live” as ratings continue to plunge, the New York Times reports. Um, it’s safe to say, most people saw this train wreck coming a long time ago.

It’s been an unhappy collision between a British television personality who refuses to assimilate — the only football he cares about is round and his lectures on guns were rife with contempt — and a CNN audience that is intrinsically provincial. After all, the people who tune into a cable news network are, by their nature, deeply interested in America.

CNN’s president, Jeffrey Zucker, has other problems, but none bigger than Mr. Morgan and his plum 9 p.m. time slot. Mr. Morgan said last week that he and Mr. Zucker had been talking about the show’s failure to connect and had decided to pull the plug, probably in March.

I am pretty sure the pro-gun crowd will be doing cartwheels over CNN pulling the plug on the show. The fact is it was very underwhelming and a cancellation was inevitable.
