Piers tells NYT his anti-gun crusade has been "polarizing"; he & Jeff Zucker "talking for some time about different ways of using me.”

Even the NY Times notes that @piersmorgan suffered from "endless trolling of his critics on Twitter" http://t.co/OCtvmqTAIn

A pro gun control voice with a minimal audience will still probably be missed by Nanny Bloomberg:
What will Mike Bloomberg do without Piers Morgan doing his bidding by bashing law-abiding gun owners nightly on CNN?

Anti #2A pushers like Bloomberg are going to have to find someone else to attack our Constitutional rights now that @piersmorgan is gone

Ouch!
Good advice:
#Protip for @CNN: Perhaps you should find a host who doesn't despise everyone in the viewing audience.
