He should be, but that would require self-awareness. And Piers Morgan just doesn’t have it.
Variety reports that this past Wednesday’s episode of “Duck Dynasty” drew 6.65 million viewers, down from 8.5 million last week. Morgan could barely contain his glee over the news:
Duck Dynasty ratings tanking. Bigotry doesn't sell.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 24, 2014
But as countless tweeters pointed out, Piers really shouldn’t be lacing up his dancing shoes just yet:
What are you ratings like? You know, for comparison's sake. RT @piersmorgan Duck Dynasty ratings tanking. Bigotry doesn't sell.
— RBe (@RBPundit) January 24, 2014
Since you asked, Morgan’s Wednesday show drew 353,000 viewers over the age of two. That’s 6.147 million fewer viewers than “Duck Dynasty.”
Sorry, Piers. You lose.

@piersmorgan Where are you in the ratings? #glasshouse

@piersmorgan How funny. Coming from a guy with the ratings of a public access cable t.v. show. Wayne's World had more substance.

If @PiersMorgan had a left nut, he'd give it up to have Duck Dynasty's "tanking" ratings.
— RBe (@RBPundit) January 24, 2014
Ouch! While you try to erase that disturbing mental image, enjoy this parting food for thought:
That must explain why no one watches your show. “@piersmorgan: Duck Dynasty ratings tanking. Bigotry doesn't sell.”

Imagine @piersmorgan's ratings if he wasn't a bigot.
