2009-04-29-ABC-Gibson31

This morning, co-host Don Wade of 890 WLS radio's Wade and Roma show in Chicago threw a question at ABC World News Tonight anchor Charles Gibson that I suspect was on many listeners' minds: 

Don: Okay, here’s my news question. A Senate bill yesterday passes, cutting off funds to this group called ACORN. Now, we got that bill passed and we have the embarrassing video of ACORN staffers giving tax advice on how to set up a brothel with 13-year-old hookers. It has everything you could want – corruption and sleazy action at tax-funded organizations and it’s got government ties. But nobody’s covering that story. Why?

Keep in mind that James O'Keefe's and Hannah Giles's first pair of videos at BigGovernment.com showing an ACORN office engaged in the activity described appeared in the early morning on September 10. That was five days ago. 

But until that moment, the topic apparently wasn't on Gibson's mind. Here's Gibson's jaw-dropping answer, with additional follow-up banter (HT to Rush on the air; transcribed by Michelle Malkin, who also has audio):

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

Gibson: HAHAHAHAHA. HEHEHE. I didn’t even know about it. Um. So, you’ve got me at a loss. I don’t know. Uh. Uh. But my goodness, if it’s got everything including sleaziness in it, we should talk about it this morning.

Roma: This is the American way!

Gibson: Or maybe this is just one you leave to the cables.

Roma: Well, I think this is a huge issue because there’s so much funding that goes into this organization…

Gibson: I know we’ve done some stories about ACORN before, but this one I don’t know about...

Roma: Jake Tapper did some blogging on it. I know he’s blogged at least once on this scandal.

Gibson: You guys are uh really up on the website.

Gibson, as NB's John Stephenson and P.J. Gladnick noted in September of last year, as a result of his interview with GOP vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, twisted her words, with the help of selective editing, to portray her as some kind of out of touch, excessively religious, militaristic rube.

With the above interview, no editing is required. Who's out of touch now, Charlie?

Awww...poor Charlie don't have no "high speed Internet"

Give'em a brake.  Charlie's still got dial-up.

Tom, you could have saved some space

A simple:

"Gibson Clueless"

would have sufficed.

"You should always tell the truth, because if you tell the truth you make it the other person's problem." Sean Connery

We want some of the salary back.

Aren't we paying for him to tell us what's going on?

Later on, he's going to sit at the ABC News anchor desk and tell us what we told him, and he'll think he was informing us. He'll have vetted the news for us.

 

sleaziness?

to my mind, Charlie Gibson is the sleaziest of them all.

And I still wonder why he's really 'retiring'.

Scripted

Look, Gibson reads his lines, probably with little comprehension. ABC could save a ton of money on news anchor salaries if they just bought and programmed a Japanese robot like Asimo to read the lines. Or get Pixar to develop software to produce an animated talking head -- I think I'd rather hear my news read by assorted World of Warcraft Avatars.

Two birds, Joe

How about a "Talking Teleprompter", Joe?  Then we could replace both Charlie, and the Bamster, and never miss a bit of their canned crap!

Yup

Good one.

Brilliant! Or they could

Brilliant!

Or they could have cartoon characters reading the news. Or talking dogs and cats. Or puppets. I think I like the puppets idea best. Would be great. Ratings would triple!

No citizen's right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, or property is safe as long as Obama is President of the United States.

At least let’s have something that is not actually human

How about Alvin the talking chipmunk (as a nod toward Peta) or that talking snowman that "monitored" one of the Democratic primary debates last year?  Funny as this and celator’s comment may sound, at least they are all congruent with liberals’ attitudes towards “pro-[real]-life.”

I knew y'all would pick up on this story.

Cool Arrow - "So Charlie, what is the ACORN Doctrine as you understand it?"

Charlie Gibson - "Well, Cool, it's the MSM belief that since it involves a lot of African Americans, they should be held to a lower standard than predominantly white organizations."

LYDSEXICS UNTIE!

Not to worry, Cool....

Just in case there are a few Americans who aren't sick of seeing and hearing El Presidente....He's doing Letterman and five weekend news shows....(from Drudge):

Surely they ALL will ask him about ACORN, you know, since he has past ties to them....surely it will ALL come out!

<Chris Matthews imitation>  HA!

IF it does, by chance, come up somewhere (I know, but work with me here!), The First One will say "That is not the ACORN that I knew."

 

→ Past ties?

Didn't he name ACORN as his chief consultant in implementing his agenda?

He's neck deep in ACORN, hence, actively promoting child prostitution.

LYDSEXICS UNTIE!

You're right....my bad...I

You're right....my bad...I wasn't sure, so I was giving him the benefit of the doubt.

But I'm sure they will be careful to distance him from them (he won't even have to do it himself)....even though they continued to tie Cheney to Halliburton years after he was separated from them.

→ Obama's Halliburton

Excellent observation.

Of course the parallel ends, as you observed, in there was an actual separation between Cheney and Halliburton, while Obama continues to embrace his organization of sex slavers.

LYDSEXICS UNTIE!

He's not going to appear on Chris Wallace's Sunday...

show on Fox?  Too bad, I guess I will be missing him this Sunday.  Jim Webster

No matter what they say about ACORN’s standards...

Charlie Gibson - "Well, Cool, it's the MSM belief that since it
involves a lot of African Americans, they should be held to a lower
standard than predominantly white organizations."

No matter what they say, ACORN’s standards are still higher than the MSM’s.

I'll bet he could give a

I'll bet he could give a dissertation about Joe Wilson or Kanye West, though.

Big deal

He thinks there both Jackasses.  Though we know that Kanye is the biggest anus opening there is.

Thank you, Charlie...

 For displaying your complete and utter ignorance
to the American people.

 

And you consider yourself a journalist?  WOW.  Simply WOW...

B.S.

B.S.........liar liar panties on fire.  sweep it under the rug, chuckie. it aint no big thang.  let the cables handle it. You mean let cable news do your job.  have a great retirement.....

In another development,

In another development, Charles Gibson is wearing a sandwich board around saying "I'm an idiot, please don't listen to anything I say".

LOL.. yes, that works. No

Gibson: I know we’ve done

Gibson: I know we’ve done some stories about ACORN before, but this one I don’t know about

   He is telling the truth because in his world (and the rest of the msm) something doesn't exist unless they cover it.

This is prompts a rewrite of the old philisophical question about a tree falling in the wilderness:  "If a story happens in the world and no one from the msm covers it does it exist?"

Gibson Moment

Gibson: I know we’ve done some stories about ACORN before, but this one I don’t know about.

That's like someone with a Masters degree in computer science saying he hasn't heard of Microsoft Windows. The dufus Gibson is in the news business.  He has GOT to know about ACORN's slimy dealings - if only because the White House has instructed them to NOT cover them.

Just like WH Mouth Gibbs saying that Hussein wasn't aware of the DC Rally ahead of time, they are still treating the American public like we're flyover-country idiots.

All of them will be very surprised when they watch Beck's show after the 2010 election.

I would love to give Charley his next Job Review.

"I know we’ve done some stories about ACORN before"

Um, no, Chuck...

That Sam Champion 'Green Week' segment about planting trees is not the 'acorn' you were asked about.

This is the top dog at ABC? He's either a) an Olympic-class liar or b) a complete dolt overpaid by a factor of 1000.

DON: It has everything

DON: It has everything you could want – corruption and sleazy action at tax-funded organizations and it’s got government ties. But nobody’s covering that story. Why?

CHARLIE: We'd like to, honest to God. But you have to understand Don, we are still very understaffed here at ABC central, as we still have seventy staff based in Alaska digging up dirt on Sarah Palin. You realize I have to make my own friggin' double latte skinny with a vanilla shot and biscotti on the side.

IT'S FRACKIN' HELL HERE. Pardon my french.

Hey...  somebody should ask Charlie what he understands about the Obama doctrine? I think it involves ACORN.

Liberal nutjobs shouting 'racist conspiracy' to anyone criticising Barack Obama are all crazed... RACERS

→ Danged Interweb

Guess Charlie got scooped again.

Don't say anything, but Charlie still doesn't know Diane Sawyer is replacing his lazy butt.

Charlie doesn't even realize he just admitted he's not a very good journalist.

Sorry Charlie, Katie's Diner is an anachronism, and exists only in the fading memory of Joe Biden's addled brain.

Katie's Diner is closed? When did that happen?

Of course that explains why ABC hasn't picked up on the story yet.

So we can expect breaking news on his bowel movement.

How Very Coinky-Dinky

Don Wade and Roma had commercials on WLS-AM when their morning radio show was fairly new.  They jokingly called their show ''Sam 'n Ella's Morning Diner'' in the ads.

I don't know why that came to mind except for maybe that Charlie Gibson makes me sick to my stomach.  Katie Couric, too.

Sometime around 'Reconstruction'.

At least that's what Sen Robert K Byrd told me.

Nationalized Healthcare is a DEATH SENTENCE.

Democrats are the party of killers, racists, pedophiles, bribe takers, serial sexual harassers, liars, perjurers, obstructors of justice and treasonous frauds.

It wouldn't make good TV.

 

Some old, over worked single mother of three would constantly be interupting them and correcting their stupid positions on current events and the real reasons for the economic problems in this country.

 

No sir, it wouldn't look good on TV for that particular pair of fools.

Cmon now, cut the guy a

Cmon now, cut the guy a break... this is obviously his staffs fault. How is Charlie supposed to know anything about this unless someone on his staff hands it to him to read? Its not like hes a reporter or anything, hes an Anchor for cryin out loud. So lets just let him catch his breath.

CHARLIE GIBSON'S BREAKING NEWS...

Charlie's really on the ball tonight. I've just seen his running sheet for the news.

1. The Hindenberg Disaster. New leads.

2. Adolf Hitler. Menace or Messiah?

3. Has the USSR gotten the A-Bomb? Disturbing revelations.

Liberal nutjobs shouting 'racist conspiracy' to anyone criticising Barack Obama are all crazed... RACERS

4. When will Lincoln have

4. When will Lincoln have an "exit strategy" for the Civil War?

 

"The bureaucracy is growing to meet the needs of the growing bureaucracy"

Wright Brothers

5. Man has flown in a powered aeroplane. Today two brothers from Dayton Ohion have done the impossible. I am Charles Gibson, this story and more after this commercial from Beat Um Good Buggy Whips

ha ha. Good B roll stories

ha ha. Good B roll stories there guys.

Man, the Gibson fella sure has a handle on breaking news  big time.

Maybe he'll get his own 60 Minutes like series -- 3600 SECONDS where he can discuss urgent topics like

FIRE: HOW WILL ITS DISCOVERY CHANGE OUR WORLD

Liberal nutjobs shouting 'racist conspiracy' to anyone criticising Barack Obama are all crazed... RACERS

I'll bet what was going through his mind was

"Oh no.  They told me if we didn't cover it nobody would know about it."

Charlie, Charlie, Charlie

Is he experienced enough?  Is he ready?  Does he know enough about current affiars?  Does he -- does he feel comfortable enough on the national stage to not know about this historical and important event that has happened within the last week, with last night being the biggest news of all (Senate action)?

What does this say about those that watch, and work for, network and liberal "news" stations?  That they, as you are, Charlie, are completely unaware? 

That would, by using reason and logic, clearly demonstrate that you, and by extension, your viewers, are woefully uninformed people.

Wow.

How embarrassing for you.  And for them.  Is it a deliberate omission by the liberal "news" orgainzations, Charlie?  Controlling what the people will know?

Charlie?  You can slide those readers back up to the bridge of your laughable, imperious nose.

Good work asking the question

I guess Charlie won't be going on this show again.

→ Not likely

I expect he'll fill in for Larry King since Joy Behar is getting her own show.

Maybe Charlie oughta talk to

Maybe Charlie oughta talk to Zeke about some end of life counseling- he's apparently lost it...

He had that talk last week when ABC announced his "retirement"

Of course today's event seems to indicate Charlie's condition is worsening, so accelerated "End Of Life Counselling" seems to be in order.

Hi Charlie.

Oh, hello, I haven't seen you in a while.

Charlie, don't you recall, we were just talking about the Tea Parties?

Oh, my favorite is Earl Grey.

No Charlie, the gatherings that brought 700,000 people to Washington D.C. on 9/12?

What Tea Parties?

Never mind.

Do you remember that we were talking about Acorn?

Yeah, it's a nut that turn's into an Oak tree.

No, sorry Charlie, it is an organization of Community Activists.

Oh.

So, Charlie, tell me about the Bush Doctrine.

HUH?

Understood But Expressed Here

This is what drives a decent person's reasoning but I'll explicitly express it here:

Who in their right mind laughs, even tepidly, after hearing about the non-publicity of someone trying to set up an under age brothel?

He's a devious person with ulterior motives which is why he hasn't reported this and belongs in the MSM, but I repeat myself.

 

Well, he is a liberal...

Perhaps he's counting on a personal invite for opening night if he keeps the wraps on it so the law enforcement types don't raid the place before his turn?

Or maybe it isn't his little girls, just some stupid minority types that don't deserve to be treated as Human?

Hmmmm

Great photo for this story, "ABC Special Report" . . . sort of like the Special Olympics of News (with no dis-respect intended to those whose loved ones may participate in the real Special Olympics).

There is no way that he is

There is no way that he is NOT aware of this story.  He and the rest of the government run media are spiking the story.  They don't want the obvious to happen and that is for it to lead directly to this president. After all this was about the third line on his resume for president - being a community organizer for ACORN (the third line is the end of the resume - the rest is blank). 

Corruption, voter fraud, tax dodging schemes, advise on how to get a bank loan to fund a prostitution ring of under aged girls - this is what ACORN is all about.  By extension, this is what the president is all about.  You are who you associate with . . .

I believe Charlie when he says he hasn't heard about it.

But then again, I believed algore when he said he hadn't heard of Juanita Broaddrick.

Gibson...And this uninformed dunce...

is one of the network anchors that many people still trust to get their news from every day? Geez...Either Gibson is an idiot, or he spends all of his time in a cave when he's not at work. Even if ABC has downplayed and tried to bury this story, doesn't he ever go on the internet? This story has been all over the internet.

Yutz.

You left out the third option: he has his fingers in his ears and is singing  La-la-la-la----la-la-la-la.....

mb...Right...

That's also a distinct possibility...He must be working overtime to block this story from his tiny little mind to the point that I guess he doesn't worry about sounding like a complete moron on the radio.

and this gibson is the guy who treated sarah palin like she was an idiot!! - all the more reason to go to  www.endthebias.com - and pass this link along

 www.endthebias.com

I was not familiar with this Gibson character (I knew about...

John Gibson) until he interviewed Sarah Palin.  If first impressions are most important, this guy flunked my first impression test.  I looked at him shaking his crossed leg and looking down his glasses, like some superior person, which he isn't and decided then and there, he was not someone I wanted to watch in the future...and I haven't.  Jim Webster

Bush Doctrine and Palin - Remember?

This is akin to Gibson's snooty exchange with Sarah Palin about the Bush Doctrine.  He was suave and haughty about seeming to know something Sarah didn't.  Now we see him with his pants completely down, showing how small he truly is - both he and his network. 

What goes around....

Gibson wants us to believe

he is unaware of the Acorn stories, seriously they really take folks for imbeciles! 

I'm going with the theme of the week...

which, I believe, will become the rallying cry for conservatives:

Charlie, you lie!

Gee, Charlie....

What do YOU read, Charlie? Hmmmm? Where do YOU come out on blog exceptionalism? Oh, you don't know what a blog is? Sarah Palin has one.

Hey Charlie!!!

What Newspapers do you read?

Oh, sorry, that was Katie's question, I confused the two of you.

 

HaHaHAHAHaHAHa!!!!!

 

You have to read the "Newspaper of Record", to be well informed.

NOT!

Looks Like

Looks like Charlie's got senioritis. He already checked out once ABC said Diane Sawyer was replacing him. You know that feeling when you've given your two weeks notice? There you go.

Charles Gibson: A man with no clue

Maybe if Charles Gibson would get his head out of his rear end, he would know what's going on with outfits like ACORN.  Then again, maybe he doesn't want to know and thinks the American people think just like him.  This guy is clueless.

MSM

Mainstream Media.  Clueless as usual.

I wonder if Charlie knows

I wonder if Charlie knows he is retiring......

 

JAJT

Charlie retired a very long

Charlie retired a very long time ago.

No citizen's right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, or property is safe as long as Obama is President of the United States.

It would appear

the "public's right to know" is selective indeed.

You Have To Love Charlie Gibson

And he had the nerve to challenge Sarah Palin about the obscure Bush Doctrine, what a joke.  Here this moron sits, day in and day out, at a desk where he has interns feeding him headline updates on breaking news every ten or fifteen minutes, from every news outlet in the world.  And with this as his available resource, he has the nerve to say he wasn't aware of the Acorn revelations.  The sad thing about him and his colleagues at NBC and CBS is that they never, ever are required to explain their stupid on-air decisions, and that's why the evening network news has become the laughing stock of the country.  It's no longer news; it's managed stupidity camouflaged as news.

I call "BS". There's

I call "BS".

There's simply no way he couldn't have heard about this.

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 86% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.

Once again, Gibson proved

Once again, Gibson proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is as dumb as a stick. Not because he didn't know about the ACORN tapes etc, but because he thought people would BELIEVE he didn't know. Now that right there is dumb.

No citizen's right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, or property is safe as long as Obama is President of the United States.

I heard this live!

I was getting ready in the a.m. and did a double take when I heard this, I thought I must have misunderstood him at first!

 Don and Roma at WLS are great!  There are a lot of liberal guests on this show, but no one inserts his foot in his mouth as much as Charlie.  I believe it was Charlie a few weeks ago who said enough  with the Cindy Sheehan coverage!" 

Charlie's head is pressed so firmly against Obama's liver...

...that I think it is cutting off his oxygen supply.

I agree with Rush. It's time for Obama to resign.

Kind of obvious now...

...why old Charlie is retiring soon, isn't it?

Don't you mean...

REPLACEMENT...not retirement.

O'Reilly just mentioned

O'Reilly just mentioned Gibson's idiot moment on his show, as well as how NBC is pretty much excusing ACORN's behavior.nr  Unreal how things are in the Lamestream Media these days.

Kat... Yep, I caught that

Kat...

Yep, I caught that too.

Doing ACORN now, Hill can't quit talking, interrupting, talk about a fast talker...he drives me crazy!

'Go Green...Recycle Congress'

Too bad he seemed to brush

Too bad he seemed to brush over it, at least in my mind.  I think there was plenty more that could've been said about all of it, frankly. 

Bill also...

He mentioned it--but repeated what a great guy he thinks Gibson is. Incidentally--Bernie Goldberg--I agree with him, but we have heard what he has to say...He doesn't need to be on The Factor every week.

What does it mean, Charlie?

Good Lord, the only thing that would have made this better was if Sarah Palin was asking the questions.  I don't believe I've ever seen a more fitting outcome for someone who would look down his glasses, at a Vice-Presidential candidate, asking a question like he did.  Krauthammer knocked the question out of the ball park like there was no way to prep for an idiot question.  I don't know why McCain's people thought it was a good idea to let anyone in the MSM get a chance at Palin, they're showing themselves for what they are and we all assumed it then.

ACORN isn't Obama, it just supports  him.  The media is treating them as if they're the same.  So, if ACORN is found guilty of all these charges, losing funding, and is completely disgraced, what does that say about the MSM????????? 

Election 2008-God's way of showing us that elections count.  

PBT,

I disagree, ACORN is Obama, and vice-versa.  He announced that they would be consulting and "setting the agenda for his presidency" even before the coronation.  He's as tied to them as he is to Wright, Ayers, Jones and the rest of his D.C. freak show he's surrounded himself with. 

Gibson's LYING through his G****** TEETH.

Hey, Charlie, how's it feel to be the one who's squirming for a change?

Somewhere, Sarah Palin is ROTFLMAO.

Nationalized Healthcare is a DEATH SENTENCE.

Democrats are the party of killers, racists, pedophiles, bribe takers, serial sexual harassers, liars, perjurers, obstructors of justice and treasonous frauds.

Boy, I would LOVE to see

Boy, I would LOVE to see Sarah Palin post something on her Facebook site on this!!!!!  Then I would love to see the condescending POS Gibson try and defend himself.

The Obama Administration: THE most fiscally irresponsible Administration EVER

Scoob,

Yeah, it would be fun to see them twist their little brains into pretzels, because there is no way they would be unable to respond.

Mental gymnatics of that sort is probably painful in the extreme.

-Dave

I agree with Rush. It's time for Obama to resign.

I doubt that you are going to see it.

Sarah is far too gracious and classy to touch this, especially when it speaks such volumes all on its own.

From listening to this

From listening to this segment, it's obvious that Charlie Gibson is a pathological liar.  That fake, stilted "laugh", the plea of ignorance and the arrogant, condescending attack on the internet.  Thomas Friedman, Tom Brokaw and Charlie Gibson all parroting the "never trust what you read on the internet" cliche...the Alinsky parasites have infiltrated the media and their marching orders include attacking internet sources as "unreliable".  Bet Dan Rather wishes internet sources weren't so damn reliable.

I scrolled down to fast.

"that it had been typed on a 1968 Hewlett-Packard AMD x2 2.2Ghz laptop."

I saw that and thought what the flock!Until I went up and saw the Rather mention.

Sorry. I should have been clearer.

I was told by a friend that my sense of humor was 'like fine wine'.

I said, 'Because it should be savored and appreciated?'

He replied, 'No, because too much of it makes people wanna throw up.'

Nationalized Healthcare is a DEATH SENTENCE.

→ Gibson's a racist

I can argue this from so many angles it's mindboggling.

I'll just throw out one of many.  Charlie Gibson doesn't think a negative story about a predominantly black organization promoting the sexual slavery of El Salvadoran children is particularly important.

Not even on his RADAR.

I'm tellin' y'all.  We might as well get used to turning these arguments back on the liberals.

I haven't heard a word of condemnation towards ACORN from our President.  Sure didn't take him long to judge a single police officer based on hearsay, did it?

And I would think the President would have an interest in the safety of children.

LYDSEXICS UNTIE!

Now RO ... What would

Now RO ...

What would make you think he cares about the safety of the  children...after-all he is a supporter of infanticide.

'Go Green...Recycle Congress'

→ Busted!

You got me on that one.

And it's silly of me to believe Obama cares aboput El Salvadoran children if his mouthpiece, Charlie Rose <edit Gibson> like he doesn't even know about the scandal.

LYDSEXICS UNTIE!

He wouldn't call it 'infanticide'....

 ...he'd call it, 'abortion in the fourth trimester'.

Why?

Why would Charles Gibson be expected to know about the ACORN scandal? He doesn't watch the News.

The fact that all of the MSM networks have become echo chambers concerning the Joe Wilson "outburst" being racially motivated, it is perfectly clear that Gibson and his network have nothing to do with the news. He is a propagandist of the Nth degree (Hey! Did I just use the "N" word?!? Racist!)

Their actions clearly show that sides have been taken.

Gibson is a LIAR.  You

Gibson is a LIAR. 

You have to ask yourself why?  The answer is obvious.

 

Better to be a stupid idiot in the liberal world than criticize a liberal sacred cow.

 

Sad.

He Reads the News!

Many of these anchors, like Shemp Smith for example, clearly do not write the news that the teleprompters give them. Gibson may be another. Why do we assume that a newsreader knows the news of the nation? He may not read a single newspaper, he might not use the internet. It's not necessary for the job he does.
