Appearing on Monday's NBC Today, ex-CNN host Piers Morgan kept up the anti-gun crusade that caused his ratings to plummet, denouncing his colleagues in the press: "I wish more American media people, American news anchors stood up. Because so many of them privately to me would say, 'I love what you're doing. Keep going, it's really important.' But I never heard that on air. And I think there's a certain moral cowardice in the media in America that needs to be addressed about guns."
Co-host Matt Lauer began the interview by asking Morgan if he had spent the five months since being fired from CNN in March "thinking about what went wrong." Morgan argued: "Yeah, I mean, not a lot went wrong from where I sit. I had a fantastic time at CNN." He explained: "...you had the two big gun massacres in Aurora and Sandy Hook and something inside me just exploded, I guess. And then for the next year, it became a kind of war of attrition on air between me and the NRA and the gun lobbyists and the show changed as a result."
