Dear CNN, This is an open petition to you to fire Piers Morgan because of his involvement in the News of the World Sunday tabloid phone hacking scandal. Mr. Morgan has stated publicly that he heard a private phone message between former Beattle Paul McCartney and his ex-wife Heather Mills. Mr. Morgan was "unable to recall" how he heard this while maintaining that he had no direct knowledge or interaction with the private investigators hired to perform phone hacking. (For more information please see the links to the right-hand side of this petition.) We the signers of this petition believe that this is not the ethical standard that CNN should be publicly and privately held to. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Your International Viewership

I really never thought this would gain this much steam when I pressed submit on my laptop that one night. It feels like people are finally realizing that we deserve actual accountability from these major networks and honestly reading through all your thoughts on the ethics of this whole mess is just wild.

Cant stand him. He always acts so self righteous but he has zero ethics himself.

How is this guy still on tv? He is a total hack and a creep. Get him off the air immediately.
