As regular readers might have inferred, I think Morgan is a pompous oaf, and I can't imagine what CNN was thinking in the first place when they hired him for this gig. But I'm disappointed that I suspect this means we'll get more of him back on British TV.
That all said, I also find the reasoning in the NYT article highly suspect. I note that are other non-American voices doing perfectly well in US news networks and divisions. While it might be heretical to even mention his name in the same paragraph as Piers "Moron", I don't think anybody ever claimed that Alastair Cooke didn't understand America. I grant you he may have lived there longer though. And I'm pretty sure that if David Frost had chosen to do a nightly news show he'd have been fine. It's a very strange argument - and what shaped ball he prefers in his sports really doesn't matter.
