According to Piers, this is breaking news. Which, incidentally, may explain not only his show's abysmal ratings, but why he is now unemployed.
BREAKING NEWS: I am no longer a @CNN [4] employee.

I was offered a new 2-year deal by @CNN [4] boss Jeff Zucker to host 40 big interview 'specials'.

But after considerable thought, I decided not to accept it - and to try pastures new.

I had a fantastic time in my 4 years @CNN [4] and have huge respect for Jeff & all the people who work there. Great company, great network.

As for his parting words:
I wouldn't crack the champagne open too quickly though, @NRA [9] - I haven't finished with you lot yet.
