More people get their biased news from ABC than from any other sources.

Switalla   September 15th, 2009 - 12:26 pm

Doesn’t Charlie Gibson have swine flu? He certainly is a swine.

Liberals Are Parasites   September 15th, 2009 - 12:29 pm

Good God, what a moron. This is why people that watch ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and PMSNBC don’t know anything.

'66 Impala   September 15th, 2009 - 12:30 pm

I have friend with the NRO who just told me a ‘non-peak’ satellite image of Saturday’s DC protest showed 860,000 ’souls on board’… just thought that was something interesting to share.

George mellow   September 15th, 2009 - 12:35 pm

The “Weak Stream Media” has BPH of the brain when it comes to the truthful free flow of information.

Charlie   September 15th, 2009 - 12:35 pm

Protest, what protest?

Tim   September 15th, 2009 - 12:36 pm

Every time I see this idiot I think of when he interviewed Palin and while asking her questions had his glasses so low on his nose they were almost falling off…as if he was investigating a criminal.

This guys such a big fake actor.

lamchops   September 15th, 2009 - 12:39 pm

But I do know what the Bush Doctrine is!!!!

dontflagmebro   September 15th, 2009 - 12:41 pm

A story bigger than Watergate he does not want to report it? Maybe he can do another report on republican that taps his foot in a bathroom stall. Oh that’s gotten MORE coverage than any DNC story.

GaryK   September 15th, 2009 - 12:43 pm

Gee Charie, somehow I just dont believe you !

I AM GIBSON   September 15th, 2009 - 12:44 pm

I am clueless, I don’t do work because work would
lead me to a journalistic knowledge of things
that I can’t bother with. However, give me
an idiot kid black guy with no experience.
That I can really get behind. because it
is as shallow as I am.

Vince   September 15th, 2009 - 12:45 pm

What a flaming idiot! This moron needs to go, he is as worthless as a tit on a boar.

Craig   September 15th, 2009 - 12:49 pm

No problem Grandpa, we’ll get our news somwhere else.

lamchops   September 15th, 2009 - 12:50 pm

So the Census Bureau sent Acorn a letter severing ties? Why Charlie? One of those unknowable mysteries of the universe, Charlie?

And the US Senate voted 83-7 to make ACORN ineligible for Housing and Urban Development grant funds? Any clue Charlie?

Above your pay grade, Charlie?

Maybe Charlie really has his headquarters stuff so far up Hopey Change’s hindquarters that he really doesn’t know what’s going on outside the rarefied world of Barack’s pecs and Michelle’s well toned arms.

Acorn is chock full of nuts!   September 15th, 2009 - 12:53 pm

“I hope you had a great day.” What a Dope you are, Mr. Gibson. You say that we should leave that type of story up to the “cables”. They are the only ones telling the truth and reporting relevent news. Thanks to Don and Roma at WLS radio in Chicago.

CeceSurfCityUsa   September 15th, 2009 - 12:56 pm

Unbelievable!! This moron sold his journalism integrity, credibility and self respect in order to get in bed with the White House. He is dead as a trust worthy news anchor. Rest In Peace!

Alarmed Citizen   September 15th, 2009 - 12:57 pm

It’s quite scary if someone in his position really didn’t know. What a complete idiot – I mean really.

Of course he knew, but he thinks denying it makes him look good in front of his friends. What he doesn’t realize, is that denying it in this day and age of social media/social networking, makes him look extremely incompetent and just proves that old journalism is dying VERY, VERY quickly!

Lorben   September 15th, 2009 - 1:02 pm

OMG! I do not believe Gibson. There is no way Gibson would come out on ACORN because of his ’slobering love affair’ with the commander in chief. If they can keep a certain sector of the American people unaware of this story, they will continue on in their zombie mode of following their messiah. The leftist media has to much invested in the President to go against a Community Organization group such as ACORN. Cause as we all know, that is the only experience that Obama has had to run this country!

Charlie is "out of touch"   September 15th, 2009 - 1:04 pm

This “news” swine needs to subscribe to Time/Warner, get a DVR, push his little glasses to the end of his nose

AND CATCH UP WITH CURRENT EVENTS….what a lying Obama shilling PIG!

Commieobamie   September 15th, 2009 - 1:05 pm

It’s a wonder he even knows about putting a man on the moon. He’ll probably say “I didn’t even know they COULD do that!”

Ron J   September 15th, 2009 - 1:09 pm

You can tell by his nervous laugh that he knew about it. He just won’t report on it for fear of being tagged a racist. Must be pure hell having a job like that.

Robert   September 15th, 2009 - 1:12 pm

Correction charlie:

The obama administration told you not to know about it.

Too busy running infomercials over there at abc news?

frank   September 15th, 2009 - 1:14 pm

I called nbc news in new york about three or four days ago. I ask for the news dept a man answered and I asked him if nbc would be doing a story on the acorn scandal, He said no . I ask why not and he hung up on me. I can tell you why because the libtard media fear all this will lead back to their mesiah and they won’t let that happen.

Maria   September 15th, 2009 - 1:18 pm

They’re leaving EVERYTHING to “the cables.” The only thing you get from the MSM is what outfit Michelle Obama wore.

Marine   September 15th, 2009 - 1:24 pm

I posted a link so you all could see inside Charlie Gibson’s world…

Blue   September 15th, 2009 - 1:29 pm

Folks, please take the advice from this experience newcaster and go to the cables. Let Charlie worry about the real important stuff like what First Lady is wearing today.

Renee   September 15th, 2009 - 1:31 pm

And this folks is why the Irrelevant Media is…well…irrelevant. Gibson is lying
through his teeth and looking down his bespectacled nose at you and me. He thinks
we are stupid. Don’t prove him right by watching ABC Evening News. Get your
news from a reliable source ie the internet, FOX, etc…

Hear No Truth, See No Truth   September 15th, 2009 - 1:34 pm

If this doesn’t blow your head right off your neck at the absolute selective lack of knowledge of these people, then there’s something wrong with you too! The man’s entire face is covered in dried-out Kool Aid powder! It’s amazing he can see anything in front of his face! Thank God he’s not an airline pilot! Jeeze! But I bet he has Oblermann’s rants memorized verbatim! Gibson busted himself into irrelevancy with that Palin hatchet job. They jusy can’t help themselves, they just can’t!

Other famous Charlie Gibson quotes from history:

“Watergate? What’s that? Heh heh, is that like one of those dime store romance novel things? Heh, heh!”

“Republican victory? La la la la la, I have my fingers in my ears and I can’t HEAR you, la la la la!”

“Landed a man on the surface of the WHAT?!? Hey, Cronkite, get outta here ya knucklehead, I MEAN it!”

“Hey gang, Sarah Palin just got stopped by the Alaska State Troopers for having a faulty turn signal. Get every investigative journalist on a plane to Anchroage, STAT!”

irishkay   September 15th, 2009 - 1:35 pm

I find it AMAZING that whenever someone asks an Obumbler ‘azzkisser’ a ? they either don’t know, don’t care, or ‘aren’t aware of it! Or in Gabby Gibbs own words, “I’ll have to ask the White House”!
Clue to ‘Gabby’……YOU ARE THE WHITE HOUSE, MORON…..IF YOU CAN’T ANSWER THE REPORTERS ?’S,
PUT SOMEONE OUT THERE ‘THAT CAN’!
MEMO TO REPORTERS monitoring our comments: STOP WITH THE “SOFTBALLS”! ASK A TOUGH ?

IDIOT!   September 15th, 2009 - 1:41 pm

ARE THESE IDIOTS SEQUESTERED? ARE THEY LOCKED IN A VAULT? WHERE THE HE11 ARE THEY THAT THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT NEWS IS GOING ON IN THE USA? I THINK I KNOW, THEY ARE ALL SITTING IN A WINDOWLESS CELL WAITING FOR THE ‘OBUMBLER’ ADMINISTRATION TO ‘GIVE’ THEM THE ‘NEWS’ TO REPORT ON, SIMPLE.
IT’S SORT OF LIKE GETTING A PART IN A PLAY, YOU LEARN YOUR LINES, TOLD ‘HOW’ TO DELIVER IT, AND PLAY DUMB WHEN QUESTIONED ABOUT IT. ….AND ‘THEY’ GET PAID THE ‘BIG BUCKS’!!!
IT MAY WELL BE THE TIME TO ‘CLEAN OUT THE NEWSROOMS OF SO-CALLED ‘JOURNALISTS’! GOD, EVEN WHEN THEY’RE GIVEN A ‘LEAD’ THEY CAN’T FOLLOW THROUGH! THEY ARE PUPPETS TOO!
DON’T THEY READ, LISTEN TO THE RADIO, SCAN THE POLICE CHANNELS?? WHAT THE HE11 DO THEY DO ALL DAY LONG?

Elmer   September 15th, 2009 - 1:48 pm

James O’Keefe, the “pimp” in the Baltimore and DC videos will be interviewed on Hannity on FOX News on tonights show at 9 pm.

FOX News is available live online at http://blinkotv.com

You might also want to read his comments today as to why he won’t do the interview that CNN requested:
biggovernment.com/2009/09/11/on-why-i-dont-return-phone-calls-from-an-intrepid-cnn-producer/

And the other news items at http://biggovernment.com

D.) On Sept 14th, I emailed the following to Charlie Gibson, Brian Williams, and Katy Couric:

3rd Acorn Video released, this time NEW YORK

Baltimore Sun, Sept. 11, 2009:
Stuart Katzenberg, lead organizer for ACORN’s Maryland chapter, “said ACORN offices in New York, Philadelphia and Los Angeles had received visits under similar scenarios, but those people were turned away.” and “Katzenberg said it was part of a “coordinated” campaign by FOX News to damage ACORN.”

1.) Today, another video was released by James & Hannah.
2.) This ACORN sting operation was totally funded by James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles as there own project. James then created his site biggovernment.com. He then contacted FOX News and Andrew Breitbart who then ran with the story. Breitbart.com has since added biggovernment.com as one of its icon links at the top of sites, breitbart.com, breitbart.tv, and bighollywood.com.

The third ACORN video, this time NEW YORK, released today, Sept. 14th.

So for Charlie Gibson, or even Brian Williams or Katy Couric to claim they did not know about the story, would make them liars. So far, Charlie has qualified.

BJC   September 15th, 2009 - 1:57 pm

I bet Obama’s news boy knows what size shoe Sarah Palin wears. Charlie, YOU LIE!

p51d007   September 15th, 2009 - 1:59 pm

And the drive by media wonders why their ratings are in the tank?
Boy, if the phrase “talking head” ever applied to ANYONE it would be Charlie Gibson.
Is he that STUPID? Apparently he’s just like the rest of the dopes inside the beltway.
They only watch/read/listen to the news from INSIDE the beltway, and I’m certain it
hasn’t been covered there.

I guess he just gets paid to read the prompter.

William   September 15th, 2009 - 2:16 pm

How many of you thought we would never see this in the USA? I didn’t. We must take back our country now in every (peaceful) way that we can.

Now is the time to make it happen. Now or it’s over. Now is the only moment over which we have any control. Now. Take down the corruption now.

God Bless America.

AtlasOjectivist   September 15th, 2009 - 2:21 pm

Well Charlie, maybe if you left the liberal bubble once in a while you might know what is going on in the world. Did anyone fill you in about NOT HAVING A JOB ANYMORE?

John   September 15th, 2009 - 2:34 pm

Perhaps Charlie shouldn’t turn up his nose at Sarah Palin for not responding to his
“Bush Doctrine” question, while he doesn’t know the first thing about the incredible
corruption of ACORN. Who’s thumbing their nose now, Mr. Gibson?

Elmer   September 15th, 2009 - 2:42 pm

Hey Charlie, “YOU LIE!”

Charlie Gibson is a liar…

I emailed the story to Charlie Gibson every day the videos where released with links to the story. I also emailed the same emails to all 3 tv networks

I sent emails to Charlie Gibson, Brian Williams, and Katie Couric on Sept 10th, twice on Sept 11th, and Sept 14th. That is 4 emails over 4 days from me with 20 references and links to the ACORN story.

But, yet, Charlie knew nothing about the story. Amazing.

Robert   September 15th, 2009 - 2:54 pm

Somehow i wonder if sarah palin was caught financing a whore house on video in alaska the story would oddly be running that same day.

Birdmanbob4   September 15th, 2009 - 2:56 pm

Ok! are we having Fun yet :) Good old Van jones is gone! ACORN is on the run! the Sleepy heads have woke up like they did During WW2! well if you really want to have some Fun join me posting on Current.com thats Al Gores Invention it is so much fun informing the far left what the facts are. The young mush brains there have no clue …come post with me and help me inform them what america is all about it is also FUN!!! Bob aka birdmanbob4 at Current!

rover   September 15th, 2009 - 3:02 pm

That charlie doesn’t know just proves one fact. You must remove head from your arse before you can understand anything.

Eddie   September 15th, 2009 - 3:03 pm

Hey Charlie, you should have run for Congress too. You wouldn’t have read the entire health bill just like the rest of the idiots on the Hill. Would have fit right in with your apparent lack of knowledge of current affairs. Just like your network!

tdaly   September 15th, 2009 - 3:03 pm

Good work Elmer- I have been hammering my reps demanding a investigation and jail time for everyone from the top to the bottom and both sides of the house. Lets keep it up. We The People.

Milli   September 15th, 2009 - 3:07 pm

Now we know why he’s gone. He got all his news from the NYT; if it wasn’t there he didn’t know. Pitiful excuse.

Richy   September 15th, 2009 - 3:08 pm

I for one believe Charlie. Obama did not tell him about it. How the heck is he supposed to know when Obama is not feeding him the info?!?!

robert kenney   September 15th, 2009 - 3:19 pm

this is absolutely unbelievable what is going on with national news.
how can this man possibly say he never heard of acorn stories.
no wonder nobody watches national news or reads the paper anymore

Pete   September 15th, 2009 - 3:25 pm

Charlie Gibson should tune-in and watch Fox News so he can then report the news later in the day.

Gibson, Couric, Chris Matthews, Campbell Brown, and all the rest are fools. They have no ears to hear and no eyes to see. Someday they will realize their foolishness, but then it will be too late. So sad.

Dave_C_64   September 15th, 2009 - 3:32 pm

Why is anyone surprised by this? The ACORN story has almost all of the items needed for the main stream media to jump all over it except one important key item; it isn’t a Republican scandal and has the Left’s fingerprints all over it. No Republican to blame + makes the Left look bad = no coverage of the story in the MSM.

t   September 15th, 2009 - 3:33 pm

Just like Gibbs, didn’t know about the tea party in Washington and Charlie doens’t know about the ACORN scandal. Watch Glenn Beck tonight, there is much more, including the Acorn lady who shot her husband and covered it up well in advance. Its gonna be good. Charlie, ask Obama if its ok to watch Glenn tonight.

t4trble   September 15th, 2009 - 3:35 pm

FAIL!!!!!!!!!

Russ   September 15th, 2009 - 3:40 pm

The solution is a very simple one! We just have to get the word out and boycott NBC,
CBS, ABC and every other station until they get back to fair and balanced resposible
reporting! They should not even have their license based on what they do not report!
The FCC will never do anything and it must be done by mainstream people! I am willing
to give up my primetime shows with these networks until they do their part! By not
reporting stories like Acorn and such they are leaning towards Communism!

Hey Charlie Watch Glenn tonight and you will see the politicians in on all of this. OH MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! DRIP DRIP DRIP! The worm keeps turning. P.S. Obama worked for ACORN Charlie. MARXIST=DEMOCRATS=TERRORIST All the same. ASK GLENN.

TerriD   September 15th, 2009 - 3:48 pm

Typical…however, everything that was done in the dark is surely coming to light! The sleeping giant has surely awaken. So, mainstream media…many say you are dying, I believe you are dead and don’t realize it yet…but you will! Keep checking your ratings.

Thanks Glenn Beck for using what God gave you!

Debbie   September 15th, 2009 - 3:48 pm

I have lost all respect for Charlie Gibson and had watched him for years until the last year and a half when the main stream media has completely dropped the ball.

A B C   September 15th, 2009 - 3:48 pm

You stupid idiot…..what the heck are we paying you to do……play with yourself……you got you head in the sand….or up your azz…..yeah I think I know the problem……you’re to busy watching for Sarah to screw up….pack your sheit and get heck out of here

e_holl21   September 15th, 2009 - 3:49 pm

Wow! I guess the truth comes out, Charlie’s head really is shoved up his “you-know-what”. I thought that was just an expression, but good ole’ Charlie was able to pull it off. That would explain why he didn’t know, and why he is stepping down as an anchor….although I don’t think he can really call himself that anyway.

JohnnyAmerican   September 15th, 2009 - 3:52 pm

ABC is a propaganda tool for the White house. it time to start boycotting ABC and all of it’s advertisers immediately. while we are at it is time to boycott NBC, CBS, CNN and most of all MSNBC. all leftist Commies are coming out of these news agency.

running with Scissors   September 15th, 2009 - 3:58 pm

Well Charlie I guess that is what makes you such a tool!

can’t wait for your a$$ to be mugged.

the MSM has their heads so far up obamas butt. I’m just waiting for him to fart.

A B C   September 15th, 2009 - 4:04 pm

Sorry Folks……we too have had our heads in the sand for oh so long……how can you ever forgive us…..we are going to turn over a new leaf….if’s it’s not too late….we sure did screw up this country pretty good with our bias reporting…..it’s now evident that we were backing the wrong horse……it took our losing audience and our screaming stock holders (who claim that they are going to kill us)….Plus that liar that we helped to get elected….to wake us up…..once again let me say how sorry we are for the damage to this great country we caused

conservativemom   September 15th, 2009 - 4:04 pm

What a joke! And he’s a “report”-er. I guess you don’t have to keep any investigating skills after you become anchor. You just coast and read whatever the white house hands you. Frankly, I think he is lying and said that to save face, except, that that excuse doesn’t help him either.

Commieobamie   September 15th, 2009 - 4:17 pm

EXTRA! EXTRA! EXTRA!

No TV news tonight! A major flaw has been found in all teleprompter computer chips. A malicious virus has spread throughout the world. All TV news and politicians now continually repeat….
“Polly want a cracker? AACK!” “Polly want a cracker? AACK!” “Polly want a cracker? AACK!” “Polly want a cracker? AACK!” “Polly want a cracker? AACK!” “Polly want a cracker? AACK!” “Polly want a cracker? AACK!”

Snakedog   September 15th, 2009 - 4:27 pm

Hey Pol Pot Pelosi & Reich Fuhrer Reid while your draining the “Swamp” in your Congress drain the Goverment Media Complex’s also. ANd now you know why I haven’t watched the morons on non-cable TV News for 25 years, GO FOX

TypicalWhtPerson   September 15th, 2009 - 4:28 pm

Sad when “news anchors” don’t know the news. Too bad your retiring Charley. Thanks for all the wonderful years of crap you have given us.

Whoami   September 15th, 2009 - 4:30 pm

So, who’s this Charlie Gibson guy?

GROW UP, MSM & COMPLAINERS ABOUT LOOKING OVER GLASSES   September 15th, 2009 - 4:33 pm

There is NO EXCUSE for not knowing about all the current ACORN SCANDALS and COVERING THEM in mainstream media.

However, that said, people who say things like someone above said, “[Gibson] had his glasses so low on his nose they were almost falling off…as if he was investigating a criminal..” are immature, ill-informed, naive IDIOTS. Don’t you know that people’s EYES AGE as they get into their 40s and older, and they either need BIFOCALS to see both medium range and reading distance, or they have to look OVER their glasses, to clearly see people they are talking to???? Gibson obviously needed to look OVER the glasses to clearly see Palin. SO WHAT?? BIG DEAL!

GROW UP!

P.S. Yes, many people have multi-focal lenses in their glasses, so they can see up close, mid-range, and at a distance with ONE pair of glasses, but some people are not able to use such glasses. STOP YOUR *ITCHING ABOUT IRRELEVANT CRAP!

Theresa   September 15th, 2009 - 4:42 pm

Charlie Gibson use to be my favorite news reporter. I thought he was articulate and fair. I thought he had integrity. What happen? Isn’t anyone honest any more. Doesn’t anyone care about this country. Why won’t they investigate and report the news accurate and fairly. This is crazy to give the politicians and the groups that are taking our money.Charlie Rangle? but no they are on a witch hunt… Instead The congress with their ignorance is dragging the congressmen that yelled out during the presidents speech. Even after Obama graciously excepted his apology for the outburst. other outlets are smearing him with racial remarks. People make mistakes in times of frustration. but Nancy Pelosi the same women that called the CIA Worse. Where is her apology? This country has lost focus. When you don’t agree we are called racist. That seems to be the new way of controlling anyone with an opinion or disagreement. Even Robert Gibbs said he doesn’t believe the country is racist in whole. Yes some still live in that bubble. Heck people hate their own race for one reason or another. But I truly don’t think people see him as a Black president, I see him as a man. The media needs to stop being so blinded and one sided.

LowLifeP   September 15th, 2009 - 4:45 pm

I heard someone on Fox say that the mainstream media were not reporters, they were repeaters. I use that now.

TEF   September 15th, 2009 - 4:50 pm

Maybe people are finally waking up from this nightmare of corruption.

Charlie Gibson   September 15th, 2009 - 4:55 pm

Okay,Enough already!
I’ve been paid big bucks for years for reading a telepromter.
I am getting ready to retire and I know where my bread is buttered.
I don’t plan to become a Dan Rather!
I will DO and SAY whatever I am told.
I have no morals.

Chad Empey   September 15th, 2009 - 5:15 pm

Charlie Gibson is a buffoon. Pretending not to know anything.
Reminds me of that show Hogan’s Hero’s, where the guard always knows Nothing!!!
Mainstream media is not mainstream anymore.
It is called that for posterity, but the real main stream is where the viewers are.
And they are falling off the old mainstream like the polluted waters it tries to wash down our throats.

Betty Blakley   September 15th, 2009 - 5:24 pm

Hey Charlie,

Get your head out (military style) and realize that to be a journalist means to report the news. You don’t get to be selective about what news your report. You, sir are not a journalist. The network owns you buddy and you better keep on dog paddling to the right. Why would you want to be syncophantic and dismiss this issue with ACORN. It’s real, it’s news and you should be reporting it. I will celebrate when all the “mainstream liberal” networks are off the air and we only have cable news and Fox News in particular because guess what they report the news whether right or left. I think more and more Americans are coming to know you mainstream guys don’t get the job done and in fact hurt this country with your bias. It’s time to retire, Charlie but there will be another biased liberal lady that will pick up the dirt balls from your dirty backside…Charlie!

Betty Blakley   September 15th, 2009 - 5:29 pm

Oops! I was so focused on the right that I mis spoke above. Charlie, keep dog paddling to the left…hurry if you want to maintain you biased, no brain cell reporting.

Calvin&Hobbes   September 15th, 2009 - 5:43 pm

How does this moron keep his job ? ? ? ?

No surprise here…move along please.

Mr. Gibson…buh-bye!

Interesting . . .   September 15th, 2009 - 5:54 pm

Many may not know, but Charlie does the ABC Radio top of the hour newscasts in the afternoons. So at the 4pm news break, Guess what the second story ole C.G. reports? You guessed it. ACORN!!

Guess he knows about it now.

Laurel   September 15th, 2009 - 6:22 pm

Are you kidding me?! Gibson’s a journalist?! This is SO typical of the MSM and their decision to ignore anything that reflects negitivly on their “god” Obama. I am disgusted.

Beth   September 15th, 2009 - 6:29 pm

Liar liar pants on fire, Charlie. What a schlub.

Laffing at the Media   September 15th, 2009 - 6:30 pm

Time for Charlie to retire and head into the sunset…… BuhBye!! Charlie you putz!!!!!!!

little fish   September 15th, 2009 - 6:42 pm

What a doof. Billions of dollars and it is not an important story. Nice. Great reporting there dork.

Get your head out of the sand or your arse.

Stupid white guy!

Sundowner   September 15th, 2009 - 6:42 pm

Charlie, you’ve turned into nothing but a boil on the ass of humanity. Na na na naw naww, hey hey hey, goodbyeeee. Crawl back into your liberal den of stupidity along with your other liberal brethren and just disappear.

commonSense   September 15th, 2009 - 8:00 pm

75,000 teabaggers are just a pimple on the a$$ of progress.

Weezie   September 15th, 2009 - 8:09 pm

Charlie, please don’t call yourself an American! You and other leftist reporters should be ashamed of yourself for the non-reporting of honest news. It totally disgusts me that we can not believe our news media in this country. Thanks God for Fox News! If it was not for them – America would be totally in the dark on the corruption in this Admin.
And – this racist thing – who are more racist then blacks – do they not remember that Obama received 96% of the black vote – I’d call that the deepest racism our country has ever experienced.

Bruce   September 15th, 2009 - 8:09 pm

It is finally confirmed, Charlie Gibson doesn’t know his a$$ from a hole in the ground.
Thats why I watch FOX exclusivelly.

rich   September 15th, 2009 - 8:57 pm

There’s a lot of things Charlie doesn’t (want you to) know.

Gerry Box   September 15th, 2009 - 9:17 pm

I, too, used to like Charlie. I thought he was fair and straightforward. I also thought the same aboutBrian Williams. Perky Katie has always been a flake and would love to bow at Obamas feet. What I heard today made a lot of sense — All the networks (so-called MSM) get their headlines and talking points from the New York Times, who gets their talking points from Rahm Emmanuel (in his pink tutu, no doubt), and Rahm gets his from BHO. So, it all comes from the White House. It’s just that Obama doesnt want to dirty his fingers with all the details. I also heard a good name for Robert Gibbs: “the Pillsbury Snow Boy”.
kygramma

HWP   September 15th, 2009 - 9:54 pm

It’s really disgusting when you think about it. In his waning years, when people have achieved respectability and some even honors….this idiot threw it all away to become a dolt. Was it worth it Charlie to go down in history as an ass kissing “know nothing” commentator? Sad…very sad.

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   September 15th, 2009 - 10:48 pm

America…it is a good thing Charlie Gibson is retiring…either he is as big a liar as his Messiah or he is losing his grip on reality!

I would think the other two boot lickers…Katie Couric and Bryan Williams would claim the same.

Afterall, America, they are prompter readers…like their great leader…not really reporters and/or journalists…their work proves that!

The whole of America knows about this ACORN expose’ but little ol’ Charlie does not…bye…bye…Charlie…you will not be missed!

===========================

THE REVOLUTION OF THE SILENT MAJORITY – SILENT NO MORE!

2. GETTING INVOLVED

IMPEACHMENT OR THE ‘ORIGINAL’ KENYAN BIRTH CERTIFICATE…IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME!

sunnyinaz   September 16th, 2009 - 2:35 am

Charlie: It’s really sad that your whole career just went down the toilet today. Not many will respect you or your opinions after this.
Like other reporters for the mainstream media, you simply have no journalistic integrity.

BJC   September 16th, 2009 - 2:39 am

Go to http://www.abcnews.com and scroll to bottom and contact them. I emailed 20/20, This Week w/George Stephanaphalous, Nightline, and Charlie Gibson. I gave them a piece of my mind and told them I couldn’t wait until the next big story from them on Sarah Palin’s next dental visit! I quit watching them once they sold the station to Obama for his Ration Care marathon. Email them, Glenn can’t do this alone.

farmhand   September 16th, 2009 - 8:35 am

My personal belief is CBS-NBC-ABC-CNN–all are so vested into this that they are hiding! I think the tenacles of acorn and the unions have spread into the Whitehouse and the network news we are supposed to trust!

Eric   September 16th, 2009 - 9:11 am

I thought Goebbels died in the bunker.

Awakened Sleeping Giant   September 16th, 2009 - 9:37 am

Charlie didn’t know?
Then, he is certainly NO JOURNALIST!!!
Shame on him!!!

pepito cojones   September 16th, 2009 - 9:41 am

Charles Gibson says he didn’t even know about the ACORN scandal??? This guy has his head in the sand. What an absolute doofus and useless idiot… and he calls himself a newsman? No wonder he’s out and the other imbecile is in, yeah you know… Diane Sawyer- another creepy so-called “news anchor”.

John   September 16th, 2009 - 9:42 am

To the people here who seem to think these newspeople *must* read their e-mail: If even 1/10 of one percent of just his nightly audience (which is not even 3% of the US population) e-mailed Gibson, he would have well over 5000 e-mails in his inbox. I can assure you that most of his e-mail never sees his eyes and is probably reviewed by staffers.

Maybe if a few hundred people e-mail him about a story it will come to his attention, but one or just a few, not likely.

E-Mail aside though, he must be looking for news under a rock not to have heard about the ACORN videos.

Brigitte yee   September 16th, 2009 - 9:43 am

YOU’RE RACIST !

Eric   September 16th, 2009 - 9:47 am

Chuckles is too busy trying to decide whether to sh** or go blind.

Jack Westbrook   September 16th, 2009 - 12:27 pm

I/m not Surprised sine Gibson is just a “reader ” of the News. His writers are to be the people haeld responsibe for his “lack of knowledge”. Oh, Well who watches ABC CBS OR NBC ANYWAY!!!

sick of both parties   September 16th, 2009 - 1:36 pm

please, get a grip. this story is not bigger than watergate. It’s just another story of another blob of the corruption that permeates BOTH parties.

Derrylane   September 16th, 2009 - 2:54 pm

You wonder why Fox news is number one. They are the only watchdogs. Looking after us.

Just so you’d know.

Hey, Charlie! We’re guilty!

KNOCK OFF YOUR INFANTILE CARPING ABOUT CHARLIE'S AGE & HEALTH   September 17th, 2009 - 4:41 am

Some of these remarks, like that of Eric & notinmycountry, are disgusting–and extremely CHILDISH. Shame on you. EVERYONE GETS OLD, eventually, and suffers HEALTH problems. Your turn will come. Better hope there is some kind of HEALTH CARE PLAN or MEDICARE in place to help take care of you in your doddering-old-fool state! (Right now, you’re simply doddering-YOUNG-fools!)

[...] Did you happen to see Bill O’Reilly last night, scratching his head to a gelatinous mass over the increasing anger in America with Barack Obama? Throughout the program he puzzled that somehow, increasing numbers of Americans actually tie the scandals of ACORN to the Communisty Organizer in Chief. But, he knows much too much, from way too many interviews and conversations with the powerful, to be so gullible as to fall into that trap, himself. After all, reports of nefarious Acornistas are unheard of, to even ABC’s Charlie Gibson. [...]

[...] millions of people taking part in Tea Parties around the country were almost completely ignored by the network news, but a few shots were taken at the participants who made (totally valid) [...]
