Exercise your freedom of choice, don't watch him.

He is already having an effect on their ratings, which were none to high to start with;
CNN's Primetime Ratings Sink to 20-Year Low - The Hollywood Reporter

If folks don't watch CNN or any other channel due to it's content of political viewpoint, the ratings fall, revenues fall, and the company can then make the decision to either keep the offending individual and loose more money, or tell him to shut up, or fire him.

Free market within the confines of the 1st Amendment.

Everybody's happy right

Threatening to kill anyone is illegal smart guy and that's not freedom of speech. Try looking up the definition first before making stupid comparisons.

Ummm.... They fought and died for the First Amendment every bit as much as they fought and died for the Second Amendment.

You just don't like what Morgan says.

Too bad for you. He has a right to say it.

Yes everyone has a right, but Americans come first.

You should probaby be banned (and possibly prosecuted) for impersonating a real person. It's a form of identity theft, in case you didn't know.

Wrong.

He's not a citizen, as far as I know.

Bizarre petitions have found a home on The White House’s easy-to-troll petition site. Others have called upon the White House to build a Death Star (31,000 signatures) and allow Texas to secede (120,000), so a petition asking the White House to deport a media personality exercising his right to free speech seems to fit right in. It should be noted that there are many worthy petitions on the site as well, but the weird ones tend to stand out.
This Piers Morgan petition REALLY needs to be taken seriously.

Yeah, as a New England Patriots fan, I could probably get double that number to petition to have the NY Jets deported.
