Yep, all day today, CNN is becoming The Piers Morgan Channel as the incredible-shrinking-cable-news-network tries to out-MSNBC MSNBC with a 24-hour gun control push.

As cynical and distrustful as I am of the media, even I am surprised newly-installed CNN chief Jeff Zucker would pull a stunt like this. Time Warner probably thought they were hiring the wunderkind who delivered the heyday of The Today Show — who they got, though, was the dope who manufactured the Jay Leno/Conan O’Brien/Tonight Show debacle…

From what I have seen on CNN over just a couple hours — shooting victims pleading for gun control, official-looking men in police uniforms demanding universal background checks, and CNN anchors slobbering over both — today might end up being the most shameful day in the network’s history.
