TRANSCRIPT:
Don: Ok here’s my question, Senate bill yesterday passes cutting off funds to this group called ACORN. Now we got the…we got that bill passing, we got the embarrassing video of ACORN staff 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 that’s got government ties. But nobody’s covering that story why?
Charlie Gibson: (laugh) I don’t even know about it. Uh, so you got me at a loss, I don’t know. Uh, uh, but, 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…
Charlie Gibson: Well maybe, maybe that’s one you just leave to the cables.
Roma: Well I think that this is a huge issue because there’s so much funding that goes into this organization and it’s a multi…
Charlie Gibson: Well, I know we’ve done some stories about ACORN before but uh, uh this one I don’t know about.
Roma: Jake Tapper did some blogging on it. I know he’s at least blogged once on this scandal.
Charlie Gibson: You guys, you guys are really up on the uh on the website.

Footage of the San Bernardino investigation was not available at the time of the interview.

What an idiot! How much are they paying this guy? Is it more than $1,300.00?
Maybe Sarah Palin could interview Gibbs on what, exactly, constitutes journalism seeing that Gibb's doesn't have a clue.
Um, who is Charlie Gibson?
KATIE COURIC about to do a story on it – still nothing from Charlie!
uh, uh, I don't ask, I don't tell. Come hear DADT news on a local station near you.
Dodge it now Chuck!
This just in, Charlie Gibb's reports that Walt Disney opened a theme park in southern California that will be a place for families to gather with their children to experience the Disney magic.
Charles Gibson, You Lie!
Thanks for doing your part to keep government honest there, Charlie, and for looking out for the American taxpayer! You're worth that $8 million a year for sure!
Maybe that scary gal from ACORN in San Bernadino has been going around "having a talk" with some of these obsolete media guys. They sure seem to be frightened of something.
[...] in the media are doing their best to avoid the ACORN story. Asked about it in an interview today, ABC’s Charlie Gibson said “I don’t even know about [...]
something smells. i don't believe he didn't know.
And to think I used to respect him just a tiny bit more than the others, but even now that tiny small bit is gone. It seems that we only have Fox News here, and even they need to improve things.
Just like all networks, totally out of contact with reality.
Charlie Gibson?
I've got your Charlie Gibson right here ➥ http://toolmonger.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/...
Not Over.
Hey Charles: "What's the ACORN Doctrine?"
Charlie Gibson just perpetuated the "All right-wingers are racist" claim on ABC news….
Still no story on ACORN though, despite having "learned about it" today…
Charlie Gibson is a partisan imbecile for the left. He has skirted every issue that is negative to Obama and fits into the category of every other liberal main stream media reporter eating out of the palm of our presidents hand. ACORN is an arm of Obama's thug army of unfortunate pathetic drones that help him create a cesspool of lies and deceit in order to manipulate and trick the real american public who wants no part of his agendas.
Clueless tool. What do you expect from someone paid to read from a TelePrompter?
Charlie is just like Obama. He is helpless without a teleprompter. Both of them are puppets. Why are we worried about the "mainstream media." Turn it off and let them go bankrupt. That is the only way to reform. Charlie is getting out before the crash…..
That can't protect Obama forever, I swear this story reeks more than watergate.
Good ole Charlie. to think twenty years ago i liked the guy. Well at least he was polite when he said FO and die.
I listened to Don Wade and Roma this morning, and I was in shock when Gibson said that. What a total schmuck! Thank goodness that people are getting the word out that the so-called mainstream media don't report the news any longer.
talk about it here: http://www.speakoutforfreedom.com
Main Stream Media, Liberal Fascist Press, Pravda?
Let see:
CBS: Katie Couric as Mary Tyler Moore
NBC: Whats his name as Ted Baxter
ABC: Charlie Gibson as Les Nessman
CNN: Anderson Cooper as the cute little metro-sexual
MSNBC: Keith Olberman as Darth Vader
MSNBC: Rachel Maddox as I don't know, but she sure is an angry dyke.
*MSNBC got a two-fer; at least Bill Gates and GE are getting some bang for their buck.
I ask you, is this a representative slice of Americana? I think not, the Big Three are saturated with out of touch eliteists who haven't a clue. The other two are saturated with gays and lesbians, suntyl forcing their own agendas. This is not the America that I knew, that I fought for; this is not the America that my forefathers and ancestors fought and died for either. This is a sham…………..
Ah, Ah, I guess Charlie has his head too far up his ass to know whats going on in the world. Time to take your doppy glasses off your snotty nose Charlie boy and retire. You define the word "useless." I hope that doesn't sound too harsh for your elitist ears Charlie.
He's retiring, so maybe he can catch up on the news!
Way to go Charlie Gibson. And to think I used to admire you.
How sickening the DSM has become. My same thoughts to CG are the same thoughts I have toward Kanya West.
WHAT A JERK!
NICE! =D
Gibson is such a classy…what's the word? JACKASS.
The same idiot who tried to lecture Palin on "Bush doctrine" which, as Krauthammer said, he knew nothing about.
He's too busy sailing in Maine and staring at his Tiger Beat picture of Obama.
Scum.
Your good at this.
Well done.
Not Over.
From the sound of it..uh..his teleprompter wasn't working this morning! Does he live in a CAVE??? How lame!
Charles "Charlie" Gibson (born March 9, 1943) is an American broadcast television anchor and journalist.
He is the anchor for World News with Charles Gibson, the flagship evening newscast by the ABC News division of the ABC television network
Someone asked who he was so I answered. Now I'll tell you what he is. He's a spineless wimp who unfortunately mimics most of the mainstream media in this country. Instead of answering honestly he plays stupid (I wish he wasn't playing"). Does he really expect us to believe he doesn't know about all of this. Like most wimps hes more worried about himself then about telling the truth. Which is bad since hes a Journalist or trying to act like one. My god people to think alot of people rely on this man for the news
((( I for one hope that Karma works. I would love to be there karma catches him..
Hey, I want one of those!
Right on Robert!!!!
A Prez maybe?
Not Over.
You mean he can still read? I think that they asked him to retire because he couldn't read the teleprompter anymore.
No wonder the DSM CAN"T report any ACTUAL news.
Like yourself John, I too though he was trust worthy, honest and reliable…..Operative word here; "I thought."
Then I watched the one sided/slanted questioning of the two Presidential candidates on TV, McCain and Obama… How sick
And what is this "Good Morning America" that they speak of? Never heard of it.
Charlie? Can you tell me about the "Acorn Doctrine?"
What a bold face, blatant LIAR!! No shame, rather be thought of as a blind robot than actually saying WOW, we might have been wrong. One statement would have revealed a drop of character, the other? Puts him right in line with the low life dirt bag kiddie porn facilitators. PIG!
laughing is a common response when you need time to set up your lie!!!..another one is asking the person to repeat the question…..
Anybody care to guess why this idiot still is emplyed?
I guess it's better to feign ignorance on this instead of coming right out and explaining how your just a liberal front man.
What Charlie meant was that he didn't want to know about the story as it contradicts the storyline from the playbook that he and other MSM lifers have sworn to uphold.
Clueless X 10
It will be interesting to see the "slant" Katie puts on this ACORN mess. Probably come at it from the angle of how ACORN wants to be in the front runner position of helping young women find a prosperous career in these difficult times of unemployment (you know, that recent rise in unemployment that Sarah Palin undoubtedly caused.) And then Katie will go on to win the Nobel Peace Prize or something cuz she's got that cute smile.
And these people wonder why We The People are irrate!!! For God's sake Charlie, do we look that stupid or are your glasses that dirty? Everyday another outrage and it just goes on. One of the talking heads had it right when they said….just forget about the other channels….no one is watching them anyway. We are aggravating ourselves for nothing UNLESS one of the czars cuts off our links to the truth. This last week might just have enough truth to get the czars really moving on their taxation program that would decimate the free press! Scares the crap out of me.
For Gibson to claim that he didn't know anything about the (most recent) ACORN scandal is credible if, and only if, he has deliberately avoiding all information sources outside of Democratic Party press releases, also known as the "mainstream media". A damning indictment on the state of modern "journalism".
Made me LOL Robert!
Wouldn't that be THE BOMB!!! Boycott MSM. It would be hard to make an impact. — I don't watch any of it. I go with FNC. I did listen to hardhead last night – he dissed the numbers at the march last saturday. I wish I had areial pics of the crowd. I don't think that I have ever seen this before. What's next, report the number of guns you own on your 1040?
Better be careful there Leslie! You might get admonished by someone…not sure who, but someone is sure to do it!
I know now why I always liked Steve Jobs better that Bill Gates.
yeah, you obviously don't care, charlie.
maybe that's why i haven't watched you in YEARS.
You, and the rest of the media formerly known as main stream SUCK.
I agree with you and Hannah and James are our Woodward and Bernstein. The White House press core probably has some lemming sitting on this site all day to try to keep up with the breaking news.
GO AHEAD – TAKE A POLL NOW!
Charlie Gibson, "YOU LIE"!
And not convincingly
Seriously doubt that if Scary from San Berdoo was doing much talking if she was involved with these media guys. If she did actually get close enough to them, they're probably all afraid their taints will drop off any minute now from lack of medical attention to that STD she undoubtedly gave them.
wOOt!
Know Sara is LHAO now!
lmao – I used to like him about 15 years ago – you got saved 5 years early!
And that really was an F.U., wasn't it – just in "journalism speak."
ABC will wither, it's already on the skids. Fortunately, I don't think there will be enough in Obama's "taxpayer funded checkbook" left to bail them out. Perhaps O'Keefe and Giles can pick up the pieces at bargain basement prices and turn ABC into a respectable news network again.
Another Useful Idiot from the Far Left Media. Fox News Channel is now the MAIN STEAM MEDIA, Mr. Gibson, and you have been relegated to Pond Scum on the Cesspool of History! How does it feel, Moron? Why don'tcha give Sarah Palin a call and get checked out on ALL CURRENT EVENTS! You are a effing JOKE!!
They'll probably tell them that they're racist…
The future of publishing:

This is kinda out there, but do you wonder if the NY raids (didn't find anything) were just a distraction? What was going on elsewhere? I don't think I trust these people.
I just gotta say that this is the best fall line-up I've seen in years! Glued to the screen – can't wait for the next installment of "ACORN – A Corrupt Organization Ruining the Nation!"
Can I stand up and say "you lie" to Gibson?
That 's it in a nutshell (no pun intended!)…A lot of people in my little southern Mississippi town are totally unaware that all of this is going on…nothing on the local TV stations, newspapers,and surprise!!! nothing out of New Orleans. I'm trying to do my part, but ,it's not easy…Ignorance is bliss!
Personally, I think it would be nice to inform all the sponsors of the major news networks, who are not carrying all the news , Fair and Balanced , that their products will no longer be purchased. There has to be a way to get ABC and NBC and 60 minutes to start reporting news as it happens and with no political agenda. There's talk radio and shows like "The View", etc. to cover political angles. The news media gets many priviledges. They abuse it. Their Press Pass should be revoked if they decide to take a political position over reporting just the facts. News should not be in bed with anyone or any political agenda, special interest group or politician. They ignore stories that don't promote their cause and have big releases on stories that help their cause. It's a disgrace, because many Americans, especially seniors who grew up during a time that news was considered accurate now believe everything they hear. F.R. Kalusa-Tampa, Fl.
How about this one Charlie; The Senate passed a bill cutting funding to ACORN. How about finding out why this happened? You're a journalist, figure it out…. let's call it "The Journalist Doctrine", or am I giving you too much credit? (looking over glasses, arrogantly)
JERK
Until the big deal about Diane Sawyer going to ABC nightly news, I had no idea ABC still had a nightly news program. Is Katie Couric still on? Is Dan Rather still producing his home made documents? Oh well, I haven't watched the MSM in 10 years. Thank God for Fox News, this site, Drudge and Lucianne.
What a load of fertilizer.
So this is what network "newscasters" have come to? Charlie baby doesn't have a clue. Danny boy makes stuff up and now is suing CBC for making him a scapegoat. Katie the Kewpie doll wins awards all the while hiding her fangs dripping with venom while tearing into the only person who was actually qualified to be president last time around. Is it any wonder I haven't watched the "main" news networks in years?
lol crack me up. we the people can speak journalism too. huh?
Nah. Charlie is being "a good boy", (pats his 'lil pointy head).
Here it is, the biggest story since Woodard and Bernstein, a potential to reach again all the way again to the White House, 'fer cripes sakes, and the libtard loser media are all obeying the dictate of the Master…
"Don't talk to anyone 'bout that, and I'll let you back in the White House…"
I think they're paying him 8grand a month so that's like what…9,600.00 a year.
[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Jenny G and SavageNews. SavageNews said: Charlie Gibson on ACORN Scandal: ‘I don’t even know about it.’: This morning, the ACORN scanda.. http://bit.ly/1zIfqJ #tcot [...]
Que the theme music from "The Benny Hill Show" and pass the popcorn.
what's gibson's email? !!! he does lie! I bet a lot of people want to tell him that!
True, and I think before that he was doing some moonlighting on Fox, and it was on Fox that he seemed more trustworthy, but when he was on (ABC? – his day job) it was like a completely different person..it felt like.
You want a youtube site for all this good stuff?
Well, stick a body part in here and twist: http://www.youtube.com/user/KNIGHTWATCHCAM
Just watched ABC World News tonight . . . mum's still the word.
But on the ABC website they did have this nice quote from Serena Williams: "I felt like I wanted to give her a big hug." She said that about the line judge who she had confronted on court and threatened to shove a tennis ball down her throat! What a difference a day makes, huh?
But apparently NOT when it comes to reporting an obvious news story! Jake Tapper did cover it and embedded one of the NYC clips.
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2009/09/s...
The comment thread there is filled with ridicule of Charlie Gibson.
I thought that "flag@whitehouse.gov" stunk more than Watergate too. People were talking "impeachable offense", etc., but where is that now? Hidden like this situation will be too. Obama and his minions have it all worked out. ACORN can be easily shooed away just like he got rid of Reverend Wright and the Bill Ayers connections. With all of these Czars, there are no more checks and balances. Then again, checks and balances haven't been a stronghold in Washington, D.C. since Reagan was in office.
Naaahhh – we're too stupid – didn't you know, we believe everything they spoon-feed us, not like there's some, I don't know, crazy gadget out there, maybe called ….the internet? Let 'em try to take it away from us now with that new "internet czar" Cass Sunstein.
The name says it all. With each passing day I am more ashamed of the vote I cast for Obama, because it means that I have rubber stamped this systemic corruption.
The problem with organizations like ACORN, and with government corruption in toto, is that it functions like a Hydra: cut off one head, and two grow back. Sure, you can cauterize the wound, you can quarantine one limb and hope the virus of corruption stops metastasizing, but the only way to KILL the beast is to strike at the core and rip out its heart.
I hate to admit this, because I believed in the man with all my heart, but right now, Barry looks like the core of the corruption.
If it is not in the New York Times (and this story was not except for 3 times I believe), the networks don't report it. It is such a crutch for them. Read Bernard Goldberg's classic book "Bias" (it breaks down the network news pretty well).
Try: http://abcnews.go.com/Site/page?id=3052660
It probably won't help, but I'd give it a go anyway…
From Hannah's piece on the science of the operation:
Key phrase: Organized Corruption.
Precisely. We might also fairly say "Normalized Corruption". Yes, actually, now that I'm thinking of what this is, I'll hammer it out. What has Hannah revealed? There is a system here: there is, yes I see it now, a virtuous circle. No! A vicious circle–whereby the a culture is influencing and establishing a system, and that system is protecting a feeding a culture.
Normalized Corruption –> Organized Corruption –> NORMALIZED CORRUPTION –> ORGANIZED CORRUPTION
But the umbrella over it all is a class of, well, the most precise word I can think of is snobs, high-minded snobs who are unwilling to fathom that anything a conservative has believed could be true. Snobs. Snobs too poisoned to reconsider. And they too have a culture and a system that reinforces itself. Looking down his nose, Charlie Gibson embodies it.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
Too busy perpetuating the stories the govt want him to put out there about healthcare, cap & trade. Does this individual think the American people are this stupid to beleive he didn't know? I have family members who want nothing to do with politics rarely watch the news and even they were aware of the ACORN scandal. Just one more example of how this country needs to "take the red pill", wake up and take back control from corrupt politicians, bias media and special interest groups through savingtherepublic.
I don't buy it for a minute – the guy isn't that dumb. It's Tuesday and he wasn't aware of a) the Friday Census Bureau decision and b) the Monday Senate action??? No way. Read the transcript and his throw away "maybe that's one you just leave to the cables" comment…..indeed he knows Fox is covering it (and maybe even that the "website" guys are covrering it) but is to friggin' arrogant and narcissistic to admit it. It just hit me – Charlie and the rest of these blow-hards have NPD…..Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Seriously, look up the symptoms……it explains how the MSM or whatever you want to call it these days creates and attempts to sustain their own reality.
You know Nancy. Unfortunately these dirtbag politicos intend to just that with the net. They honestly believe we are stupid enough to jus sit here and allow it. How can educated people be so freaking ignorant?
I wonder what newspapers Charlie reads?
This simply continues to highlight the mainstreams media bias.

Still nothing on CNN. But in "Latest News," Jessica SImpson's dog was eaten by a Coyote.
Excellent Comment!
What an arrogant ass! "Let's leave it to the cables"!!!! Good way to excuse your incompetency Charlie! What are you going to do when the nation finally decides it' has had enough of Obama and his henchman? Say, "I was just following orders."???
I speak from the heart…… your right its not easy but we as true Americans must keep trying to expose all of the liars and thieves in this great nation. I'm not sure it ever will I'm starting to believe that is one of the many costs of freedom.. Thank you for your response, and thank you for being a great American who doesn't want to be ignorant.. keep trying to do your part and I'll try to do mine and maybe we meet in the middle : )
Liberal reading off a Tele PrompTer that doesn't even know his own shoe size. Much like our representatives in Congress and the White House.
Charlie Gibson need to become a foxaholic
Come on don’t be so hard on old Charlie. The New York Times and Washington Post haven’t covered the story. Afterallall how could the chief “news reader” at ABC “News” know about the story if it’s not put in front of him to read. Same can be said for the folks at NBC and CBS.
WATCH DOGS OFSOCIETY?? Can the media really be that clueless?? How can Charlie not know about this??? Come to think of it.. ABC, CBS. NBC, MSNBC, and CNN.. didn't seem to be aware of Van Jones either… Just a suggestion… but maybe they should stop acting like the PR Firms for the "Obama" administration and start reporting the news.
Just shows you where ABC News and Charlie Gibson has their head today and thats where the SUN don't shine
I didn't know what ABC, NBC, or CBS was until I heard about them on FOXNews.
Thanks FOX and biggovernment.com for keeping me informed. I never knew I had so many other channels on my TV.
ROFL!
I hope that maybe some people in the media are recovering from this left leaning drunken stooper and are having a serious liberal koolaid drinking hangover. The kind that makes you say 'I will never drink again' We can only hope.
Pardon for the slow response, we've been having a troll eruption around here, and it took me time to find your post…
If you are sincere, and I believe you are, the best thing you can do is talk to your friends and gently suggest they need to stand up against this.
We all have differing points of view, that's what makes it fun to be alive! if we were all the same, this life would become SO boring our heads would explode! That's why we all contest our ideas, because we seek the best.
Believe it or not, we do share similarities between us all. But we can't debate, compare or contrast those things if we are all roped, chained, and hitched, a team of animals under one whip.
Where our ideals and yours are congruent, join with us and stand against the tide. Corruption requires the dark to flourish; help us push it into the light! All those people in Washington DC on 9/12 weren't there because they thought alike, they came together because they had a similar goal; to force the government to acknowledge the problem and demand it to account for itself!
Then, later we can go back to making fun of each others ideas!
BAH HAHAHAHA! Gasp, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!
This is just another example of how the media is in the back pocket of Obama..Don't even know about it Charlie, where have you been living under a rock …Ohhh I forgot that's where you just came from, just like the rest of the mainstream media for not covering this story. Go back and put your head in the sand and just not acknowledge this is a very serious matter and these young people have brought this to our attention.. As we say in the south as a slam against someone that doesn't have a clue what's going on. "Bless Your Heart" !! TOTAL IDIOT!!
Gibson is lying! This is the classic gate keeper response. http://www.collincountyink.blogspot.com/
OK, some has got the break the news to these guys, YOU are OBSOLETE, yesterdays news source. Really, is Gibson living in a cave? Next, papers. Who is watching or reading these guys. Who doesn't get their news of the web. Just pathetic.
My guess is "Boy's LIfe".
still rolling on the floor laughing….very nice
Uh….uh….. I….. uh……. think he was…. uh….. not so sure….. uh….. what to… uh….. say. Of course he could have said something like….I heard but I didn't listen. Not unlike our "leaders" too busy lecturing us to hear what WE need and want.
Unfortunately, I go to a liberal arts school where even as a lefty I'm considered centrist or moderate. Considered me among the converted, though, and I will do my best to make sure that everyone is aware of this story, that it isn't just some Rush-led smear job, that this is REAL and it is NOT OKAY.
I will never support or condone what the Bush Administration did to this country for 8 years, and there will always be things about the right that get up my dander, but this is NOT what I voted for. I voted for sweeping change, and what I am seeing is more of the same, more stagnation, more backscratching, elitist corruption, where the powerful exploit and twist everyone under them and then chuck them into the trash bin once they are no longer a useful asset.
There is such chasm between real people and people who are defining our world for us.

MPR…Very well Said..You are an intelligent and classy individual and obviously have an education. Maybe you need to go and take Charlie Gibson's spot on that show. You could do his job 1000% better.
I do not believe Charlie Gibson did not know. It looks to me that honor is no longer important to some folks. He is not an honorable man in my book. something smells.
Does the teleprompter and with the help of Gibbs write his news cast?
Sometimes I get tired of hearing left right dem/rep I consider myself to be a part of no party. Because in every party there is and always will be corruption. The difference is when you use the gifts that god gave us and know the difference between right and wrong. And if you didn't know you wouldn't have said what you just said. I'm sure we disagree on alot of levels because I'm the furthest thing from a liberal you will ever meet ( although my Friends say I'm the most Conservative Liberia they have ever meet lol). I think they mean I stand by my convictions but have a heart.. As we all should. But do I have a heart for people like this no way. I loath all of them cowards every one of them. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Everyone should e-mail this biggovernment.com link to ABC News.
Give Charlie a break, you can't expect actors to be up on all the issues.
I wonder, do they ever get lonely in their ivory towers? MSM is about as relevant as the pony express nowadays.
Gibson treated Sarah Palin like she was an uninformed rube. Palin is all over this ACORN story, so what does that make Gibson? A steaming bucket of schmuck, that's what.
He insults the intelligence of the public, claiming he has not heard of the scandals involving ACORN!
Of course he knew. If he didn't know, he should be fired. It's his JOB (and his producers') to filter through all newsfeeds and select their stories.
Sure can not argue there! LOL
I asked a couple ladies at the gym if they had been keeping up with the ACORN news and they pretty much said "who's ACORN?". I said " I take it your not politically inclined" to which one answered " no, but I voted in the last election".
Am I glad this dork is quitting a business he no clue about. Good riddence to truly bad rubbish!!
Don't blame Charlie, what used to be "The Peacock Channel" is now "The Ostrich Channel" or it might just be early onset of ALZHEIMER'S.
Of course he is lying. Why else would he say leave it to the cables. He knows about the story and knows he has no interest in covering it, that is why he said leave it to the cable networks. If he hadn't known about it he would have been more inquisitive about the story to see if it is something he should look into further. These people haven't forgotten how to be journalist, they have forgotten when to be journalists.
I believe we still have it in our hearts to forgive a bad mistake.
Is there really any doubt that Charlie knew about this?
He is just another leftist scum bag that lies when it suits his purposes, and his purposes are Obama's purposes, which are ACORN's purposes.
Connect the dot's and they all lead straight back to the White House. The Obama Run Media just cant have any of that, I imagine they are "war rooming" with ACORN and the White House in a "3 Way" on how to put an end to these uppity constituents.
Gibson is truly one ugly dark soul, the sooner this cretin and his network folds the better.
NOW CHARLIE, YOUR EYES DO NOT TELL AN UNTRUTH.
CLEARLY YOUR MOUTH IS REPRESENTING A BLATANT MISREPRESENTATION OF THE TRUTH!!!
I don't know who Charlie GIbson is, but he sounds like a tool.
Look-Same eleteist condescending gaze he gave Sarah Palin. This gets more and more juicy with each passing day. Soldier on Big Government!
That is funny, shilioh!
After reading the article, I wonder if Charlie reads.
Katie Couric is a classless and clueless moron.
This leftist drone should be working for Iran or North Korea, though with the way things are going it might be more of less the same soon enough.
Haha, good one!
Geeze, I used to like this guy. Whatever was I thinking!
Charlie may have been hoping for a new job.
I'm sorry…could you repeat that please?
Not Over.
Hey Look . . . The Orwellian Channel has a Memory Hole
Gibson is the answer to the question: How dumb can you be? Good thing he's going to the geezer pasture for overpaid newsreaders. (Do I hear Sarah Palin laughing?)
The common goal among us should be, to RIGHT the injustice of what has previously transpired. What ever party you do or do not believe in.
I really am sympathetic to you plight.
Hey Look . . . The Orwellian Channel has a MEMORY HOLE!
Good ol' Charlie…already irrelevant, soon to be totally forgotten. Good job reporting this over here. I've discussed it as well over at my own blog:
http://jacksonianlawyer.wordpress.com/2009/09/15/...
Though the back door just like Jack Kennedy did with MM I’ll betcha.
Charlie is the new WH ho now.
Not Over.
eeeeee Charley, he is such a whiz isn't he ??
Yeah Charlie…leave it to te cables. Cable has become an acronym for FOX NEWS. Watch their rating soar and, well, I'm think you're bailing from that sinking (stinking) ABC boat. (Can't really call it a 'ship' anymore) And to echo 'Huey'..".Charlie, do you agree with Obama's ACORN doctrine?" There is aactual 'news' out there, and you'll see it just as soon as you remove your head frpon the POTUS's posterior.
I will do my part to slay the Hydra. Faxing and e-mailing my congresspeople, spreading the word around campus and on twitter.
We deserve an end to the corruption. We must be the pivot point. No more okaying the lesser evil, because BOTH SIDES are evil.
Obama's catch 22, What can he do? Investigate, and ACORN will spill the beans on Obama. Don't do anything and it mushrooms out of control. Hard times ahead for BHO !……..I wonder if ACORN still has a seat at the table?
What about SCIU aka ACORN? Bad people doing bad things!
Old 1960's issues of Pravda I'd think.
Not Over.

You gotta contact Diane Sawyer in the morning and ask her the same questions. Then we'll know whether she will be the same, better, or worse than Charlie Gibson.
I hate to admit it but Charlie was correct, it is time for him to retire.
I was always a bigger supporter of Gibson until his Sarah Palin interview last summer.
Today was icing on the cake!
Welcome to the common cause.
Don't insult Les Nessman. He's won more Silver Sow awards than all of them combined.
Thank you, as I politely take a bow! LOL!!
reminds me of the piano player in the whorehouse who said he didn't know what was going on upstairs
LOL, I love it they are so exposed.
How much intelligence and integrity does it take to read verbatim the crap that constantly runs on the teleprompters at ABC? For Mr. Gibson, it appears to be zero on both counts as his interview on the radio about ACORN has revealed that this emperor has no clothes. Get off the air Charles, you are a joke for a journalist.
It sounds to me like we need to march on the newspaper offices. If we get in their face, how can they say “I didn’t know about it”?
I'd like to shove those condescending glasses you know where!
Charlie who?
That's why ole' Charlie Gibson is retiring soon. Senility has set in, and it would take a lot of effort to keep up with the news(depends on what the writers put on that teleprompter). Glad to see you go. Will be happier when your Network goes Out Of Business!!
Shame on you, Charlie Gibson. I will NEVER take you seriously AGAIN! Maybe you should think about retiring because you certainly aren't doing your job.
I think he already lost his newscast
This Charlie Gibson is the idiot of all idiots. What a stupid clown.
It's hard for me to believe that Gibson doesn't have a clue about this. I watch ABC news every night. At this point I will have to reevaluate the credibility of their news. If the main anchor doesn't have a clue, who at ABC does? How embarrassing for the network and Charlie. I guess it really is time for him to retire. He's losing it!
The US Census Bureau severed ties with ACORN. That’s big news you would think somebody from ABC’s news division would ask …why?
The Dinosaur Media (my term) is stuck on stupid. Charlie Gibson is so irrelevant he doesn't even know he's irrelevant.
Remember, you have to say it while looking over the top of your half-glasses, with a smug, superior look on your face. That's what really sells it…
So since the viewed ACORN videos seem to be mainly in minority areas, can we officially consider ACORN RACIST and WOMAN/GIRL abusers and destroyers?
Prostitution is the way to DESTROY a person – a neighborhood…
ACORN seems to attract workers with MUCH knowledge about that evil industry.
Of course he's lying! This is one reason I do not watch mainstream network news anymore. Conservative in office, they report everytime he burps. Socialist in office, nothing.
Charlie, did ACORN get to you? How far is their reach…? Perhaps someone should investigate! Does anyone know a good investigative reporter?
I bet if the interviewer ha asked Gibson about Joe Wilson Charlie could've talked about him for 5 minutes — including every up-to-the-minute smear that the left media came up with. Maine fishing trip my patootie.
GOTTA HAND IT TO YOU CHARLIE _SURE DO LOOK HONEST
Charlie Gibson WAS THE ONE person I look to for news. Note, "WAS". As of now,I will only look to the internet.
I just watched ABC News with Charlie today Sept 15, 2009 and I guess he is STILL CLUELESS. The story about the man who threw a shoe at Bush was more important as was the story about the new book by Dan Brown “The Lost Symbol”
Charlie reported NOTHING! At least Katie at CBS had a report about ACORN.
Does this mean that Charlie Gibson, ABC News and the DISNEY CORPORATION support child prostitution?
Up on the website…I thought he didn't even know about it ?
That's just it – we're not falling for it anymore, are we? BTW – ACORN now a trending topic on Twitter!!! I helped and keep tweeting these links.
So if Charlie Gibson is telling the truth then he must have been thoroughly Stupified to hear that the senate "out of nowhere" took a vote to de-fund Acorn. If he is that unaware they had better send him home in a stretcher. Sawyer needs get to the studio fast before Gibson starts getting lost driving home. But I think we all know that he is lieing.
Wait… wait! Isn't this great from the people who keep pointing out to us those WHO ARE OUT OF TOUCH WITH AMERICA!
And here is one of them, GROSSLY SO OUT OF TOUCH WITH AMERICA!
I bet he doesn't even have internet access at home!
Turds in a toilet bowl always claim they didn't know about the other turds until someone hits the flush handle. Charlie, hear that swooshing sound? You and the tidybowl man have alot in common.
and he thought Sarah Palin was dumb? This guy is an idiot – doesn't read about anything that is not in the script that he is handed. Great job, Gibson.
The comment arrogance and condescension of Gibson is simply unbelieveable!! I'm so glad he said he leaves that kind of "real" journalism to the "cables"….that's the only place you can get news nowadays anyway and he unwittingly confirmed it! Couric and her ilk also need to go away…the mideast sounds like a perfect place for ther retirement!

[...] glasses and the Oh-I-Know-Everything-Cuz-I’m-So-Smart-and-live-in-NYC attitude — laughing about neither “knowing” about the ACORN debacle nor caring about it. Don: Ok here’s [...]
Maybe that is why the people of America no longer trust, or even watch the network news. This is a huge story and Charlie Gibson does not even know about it, shameful!!
A steaming bucket of schmuck…
Good one.
"What's the frequency, Kenneth?" asked Dan Rather while drawing up some documents showing Hannah is an operative of the Clintons seeking revenge.
This sort of sums the mysterious reason that network news if getting killed off. Wow Charlie, have you been sleeping under a large rock lately? Networks aren't touching this, CNN gave it a mention, but I had to search to find it. MSNBC (Shock here…) is skewing it to look like the poor, innocent ACORN is the victim of conservative attacks. At least the Senate has seen the light.
I think Charlies asleep at the wheel, and about to crash!
Hey dont feel bad, Charlie, I'll admit I've been dozin' in the passenger seat, but I'm fully awake now…..along with a lot of other Americans who've been suffering from deep-apathy.
Just as 9-11 woke a lot of folks up, last years election woke a lot more of us up to the fact that we're letting government get way tooooo fat and sassy!
And, no, its not because Barak Obama's of African American desent….gimme a freakin' break, will ya!?!
I'm against BIG GOVERNMENT IN ANY COLOR…..and ANY PARTY!!
Keep informing those who still have their heads in the sand. Most of us are now walking ON the sand.Thank you for the new website. It looks great.
I was one of the protesters at the Chicago "Tea Party" this past weekend. Only Channel Nine News covered it even though there were between 400-500 peaceful people there. THANK YOU for the work you are doing!! Thank God there are REAL news organizations out there that actually care about the direction this country is heading and are willing to do something about it. Please add me to your e-mail list. I am anxious to do my part in making sure this next election is done right! You have singlehandedly dismantled the most dangerous community organization on America–keep up the amazing work!
Has anyone asked why US Rep Conyers' attempt to investigate Acorn was "quashed by the
powers that be"? Who are the "powers that be"? I'm adding my name to the list of those who demand a
congressional investigation of Acorn!!
who is charlie gibson?
Very Good..And correct
Just like Watergate, it too will be swept under the rug.
Suddenly Sarah Palin looks like a genius!
LOL!!! This is the guy who looked down on Sarah Palin? And they called HER a twit? To throw it back in the left’s face…this was Gibson’s “Palin moment”!!
hey charlie gibson ! yea you! PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS.
What a pompous jerk…
Hehehe You go girl. I tweet a bit myself.
you're right.
and if he really didn't know, then what the hell is he doing? i mean, seriously. we pay attention to this stuff, and for most of us, its in our spare time. this is his JOB, and he still can't get it right. pretty pathetic.
Perhaps Charlie has a "life."
It could be that the only news he really knows about is what he reads on his teleprompter.
After all, he is about to retire.
The fact that an ABC blogger had it, means someone at ABC must have known about it, and intentially innored that story. This is blatant BIAS. I heard it live. After charlie was off the call Don and Roma discussed how surprised they were. "Jaw hit the gound"
If you listen to Charlie's laugh before he says he hasn't heard about the ACORN story, you know he is lying. I saw the racist claim also. I think this spin may be coming from the White House. "Let's keep using the race card, so when ABC does have to run the ACORN story, it will be watered down by saying it is nothing more than a malicious racist attack." The only ones they are fooling are themselves.

"What's the frequency, Kenneth?" asked Dan Rather while drawing up some documents showing Hannah is an operative of the Clintons seeking revenge.
Good one! Waiting for an angry comment from William Tager.
Meanwhile a quote from Michael Stipe: "I wrote that protagonist as a guy who's desperately trying to understand what motivates the younger generation, who has gone to great lengths to try and figure them out, and at the end of the song it's completely fucking bogus. He got nowhere."
Charlie Gibson – incompetent asshat, complicit liar, or both?
WHO'S CHARLIE GIBSON?
"leave it to the cables"…along with your Neilsen ratings, Mr. Shedding-Audience-Every-Night.
I wonder if he knows about the Gibson Doctrine?
Now there is proof beyond any doubt that Charlie is an anal orifice. I listened to him on Don Wade and Roma this morning and couldn't believe that he was actually broadcasting as to how stupid he is.. The rumor about him canceling the operation to remove his cranium from his anus appears to be true.
you cannot expect this guy to not know this story. I refuse to believe that!!!!
what an insame lying idiot. Period!!!
Fact Check agrees lol.
And we have how many more years of this??
And sunday 9/20 the fools fly the communist flag over the south lawn in white house. Seriouslyy check it out!!!
Heard that one charlie for real!!!
we are screwed if we dont wake up and act especailly with our representatives etc….
God Bless America !!!!
How God hates a liar!!!!
i already did wtg!!!!
Thanks Nancy;
that was great LOL short sweet and oh so true.
yeahy dude but thats okay he fooled many people u got smart !! wtg and welcome back
we need to take our republic back from these corrupt jackasses
It is probably true that he didn't know about it. As a news reader, Gibson gets to read the lines written for him. It is like using a digital brain device like a teleprompter. Maybe he has been hanging out with space cadet Gibbs. Jeff Foxworthy would say "You guys aren't as smart as a fifth grader. Seems to be a growing trend in Washington "I didn't know about it".
A. He is a complete moron
B. He is lying about not knowing any thing about it
C. all of the above
I vote C. This I why I don't waste my time on MSM
Hey, it'll take a while to form a counter attack, give 'em a break.
(I used to like Charlie too. After they did the Today show, with Joan London, back in Alaska I talked to a waitress who couldn't say enough nice things about Charlie but they all thought Joan treated "the help" like dirt.)
I just pinched off the biggest peanut covered charlie of my life, it was so big my gibson is sore.
Maybe Sara Palin could ask Charles Gibson, (with her glasses lowered low across her nose), "WHAT IS YOUR OPINION OF THE OBAMA DOCTRINE???) LOL!!!!!
I really miss flag@whitehouse,gov I'd save my spam for a few days and then forward it to them knowing they had to keep it, oh i can be such a pain. Ask my wife.
Seriously: LOL @ CHARLIE. EPIC FAIL. LOLOL. I only posted a few days ago that this guy doesn't have an ounce of curiosity.
Charlie Gibson is nothing. He is a 'has-been'. He sold his soul a long time ago.
He will soon realize he means nothing anymore.
I wish to offer high praise to Sarah Palin for putting her intellect at risk by talking with this blithering idiot! Is this Upchuck Gibson character aware that the earth is not flat, or would that information be too much for his simian mentality? The last "elite" newsreader, Wally Crankcase, started this dismal slide into urinalistic incompetence, and Charlie is merely carrying on the legacy!
Charlie Gibson = Ron Burgundy. Clueless, outdated, and someone who would have made a fine tax advisor or perhaps a manager at a fast food place. But his potential was wasted and he went in way over his head as a major network anchor.
Only a conservative journalist would call himself an activist while the establishment or leftstream media has activists that call themselves journalists. O'Keefe, Giles, doing going undercover makes you an investigative journalist, and courageous ones to boot. You did face down a murderer. Clearly you knew before you hatched this plot that these ACORN buildings are full of criminals with twisted consciences. Kudos man.
Charlie, I have two words for you:
FOX NEWS
Maybe Sara Palin could ask Charles Gibson, (with her glasses lowered low across her nose), "WHAT IS YOUR OPINION OF THE OBAMA DOCTRINE???) LOL!!!!!
Is this an example of the "Gibson Doctrine"?
Gibson's claiming he didn't know anything about the Acorn scandal just proves once again that the so called mainstream media lacks credibility and therefore has become irrelevant to rational and well informed Americans. The term "has been" media would be more accurate, and anyone with even half a brain stopped watching them long ago.
This is good fun, but the truth is it no longer matters.
Old media is dead. We are witnessing it's last gasps. We don't need them any longer.
It's natural selection.
The only thing that should "be left to the cables" is Gibson's neck.
This is the dufus who dissed Sarah Palin?
I'm sure he plays Thursday night poker at one of there offices…
No problem! I feel there isn't enough succinctness in the world today – look how long the House of Reps took to blast Wilson! Boring.
Bwaaaahaaahaaa haaaaaaaa!
Bwaaaahaaahaaa haaaaaaaa!
*coughing fit*
Bwaaahaaa haa haa haa haa!
That truly was classic – and they say only liberals have a sense of humor – I beg to differ!
Thank you for your honesty. I pray that others who voted for Obama will come to the same conclusion. Obama did a helluva job hoodwinking the citizens of our beloved country. He owes America an apology but instead goes around the world apologizing for America. Because of Obama and his cronies, this country is now in serious trouble. But quite honestly, I believe that is what he wants. He wants to collapse this country in order to rebuild it the way he thinks it should be. Obama doesn't love this country, no matter what he says to the contrary. He is an angry man, a devil in sheep's clothing. I don't trust him, never did and never will. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for realizing your mistake. Now, please dialogue with your friends that may have also voted for him.
True that.
Pretty pathetic=M$M
Not Over.
TOTALLY !
Chas Gibson is an out of touch man who reads a teleprompter. Like Obama, he is clueless otherwise
charlie should retire
the same ignorant a$$hole
Oh uhh sorry but, WE ABC USED to be a news organization, but since we (like NBC, MSNBC, CBS and CNN) are now only involved in making up news, we just don't bother reporting on REAL NEWS anymore…
I'd pay to see that!
LOL!
NYT finally covers the story, makes "conservatives" the primary focus: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/16/us/politics/16a...
Ummmmmmm, how about abetting prostitution? Tax fraud? Mortgage fraud? How about permisiveness toward physically assaulting underage illegal immigrant prostitutes?? And murder ("I have no problem with killing people")? How about political connections?
How about, NYT, taking your head out of your old gray lady ass for a change??
Hasn't he been "retired?" Diane Sawyer to replace soon?
I fear that everything the old networks say is coming from the White House.
Way more than Watergate. This is worldly stuff.
If all the networks are totally out of contact with reality it's because they are in total lockstep with the present administration. Both are out of contact with reality.
Oh by the way Charlie,Sarah wanted me to ask you if you knew what the Acorn Doctrine was?
Oh… uhhh… ummmm… uhhhh… I don't.. uhhhh…
Fantastic. I wonder how much of the stimulous package Gibson is getting.
"Maybe that's just one we'll leave to the cables…" Yes, you guys alway pass up big stories and let someone else cover them.
This would be hilarious if it weren't so nauseating and infuriating.
So, is Gibson a member of Maher's Cracker Nation?
unbelieveable !!!!!!
does he really think that line can be believed?
i also (tho not a fan) liked mr gibson, now i need to rethink my opinion of him
Wow. Clueless.
And as for the mainstream media – I'm torn between two names:
a.) ministry of propaganda
b.) Obama fan club
-bryan
You know, I thought Charlie Gibson was smart enough to see what happened with Dan Rather (lies, misreporting, ignoring the facts, embarassment) and not do that to himself. Hes about to retire and he has lost all his hard earned credibility. Its sad, but if this is his take on journalism, perhaps retirement is a very good idea.
Earlier this week on the radio George Stephanapolis told Sean Hannity that he was completely unaware of the controversy surrounding Van Jones then Charlie Gibson comes up with this bit of humor. These guys have become so pathetic that you almost want to feel sorry for them.

In regards to Charlie and the rest of the liberal media….check out my pic on my profile – Foghorn Leghorn cartoon with Foghorn telling the ostrich with his head in the sand, "no, no, no, ya doin' all wrong."
Good for you! I wish I'd thought of sending all that awful spam of mine that fills my box all day long to the WH
What do you expect? Charlie hasn't been able to read anything since he lost his glasses……………………. they are on the tip of your nose Charlie.
The LEFT just can't handle it when common Americans use the Saul Alinsky playbook against them….they've always known how to play it, but never learned how to defend it……..hmmmmm, sounds like the Cleveland Browns
NBC, CBS, ABC, DEF, GHI, JKL…. It's all greek to me. Walter Cronkite's tv show – YOU ARE THERE – needs to be revived, and film an episode at these mainstream media port-a-lets called "MAINSTREAM MEDIA – YOU ARE THERE", because after this ACORN revelation the mainstream media may be history.
OMG that was funny Nancy!!!
This Gibson guy is just a news reader leave him alone. Hes kinda like a giant ignorant hairless monkey that can read and do math.
Just before coming here, my favorite place btw, I checked ABC and still nuttin about Acorn so they r a little slow on the uptake I reckon….tee hee!~!!!!
Right on, as far as the MSM or Govt Media like Rush calls em, it don't matter cause it's been longer than I can remember since I've watched any ot the alphabets….well guess it's been ten years which is how long Fox News has been on the air!!!
No – they just don't want everyone that they reach (all 2 of them) to know what we know – they might then lose them as viewers!
KATIE COURIC about to do a story on it – still nothing from Charlie!
(see my comment below on Katie's story)
BTW – Nice job keeping up the hammering away at the press and everyone on the left! Alinsky Rule #8 well played! The left doesn't know which way to turn.
Too busy perpetuating the stories the govt want him to put out there about healthcare, cap & trade. Does this individual think the American people are this stupid to believe he didn't know? I have family members who want nothing to do with politics rarely watch the news and even they were aware of the ACORN scandal. Just one more example of how this country needs to "take the red pill", wake up and take back control from corrupt politicians, bias media and special interest groups through savingtherepublic.
Charlie Gibson: You guys, you guys are really up on the uh on the website.
This guys has no idea what the internet is, so how would he know what is really going on in the world. Yet he reports for one of the biggest "Networks" in the country. Great Job ABC!!
[...] sage from ABC, Charlie Gibson, didn’t even know about the story. Hadn’t even heard of it until today. Hey Charlie, after you tell me about the Bush [...]
Charlie Gibson pretty sorry excuse for the anchorman of ABC News. Is it any wonder why less than 20% of the people watch them anymore?
this shows how much the left wing media is welling to sweep this under the carpet. They wont touch ACORN because Obama supports ACRON.
Indeed. We see "iceberg!….dead ahead"! for this presidency. History will ask: "why and how, did the American people come to vote this clearly criminal, communist individual into the White House"? Mind-boggling. Truly mind-boggling. Sadly, we just don't seem to learn that precious proverb, "we get what we deserve".
Right on JennyC! I think it was Lenin or Stalin who so aptly referred to to clueless dimwits such as Charlie-boy as "useful idiots". Sadly, Charlie is clueless to his being a dopey, half-witted, sycophantic, pawn for the ACORN/Obama criminal organization. Whats more, he really thought he was above the so-called hayseed Palin, and yet, now, gee, who's the dopey, uninformed, clueless, nitwit , Charlie? You can't make this stuff up people. In the end however, it's truly sad.
Since when is CORRUPTION of our tax dollars not news worthy Charlie?
You and the rest of the not-so-mainstream-news reporters are digging your own grave..
No one wants to watch a has-been newscaster who isn't up on breaking news….
60 minutes use to do investigative journalism like this….Thank God for providing America the number one Fox, and some of CNN's reporters…
At least they aren't in the tank with corrupt government officals, and their associates!
Charlie is just one of the many deadbeats that call themselves journalists these days. They are just there for the paycheck.
"Captain Oblivious" Charlie Gibson only adds to the beauty of this unfolding story.
As the drama continues to expand and intensify, I thought it would be a good time to humbly submit a request to those of you who are coming at the culture war from an overtly Christian perspective. If the Christian element here makes you uncomfortable, please accept my apologies and just scroll right on past this note and on to the next…
If you're still here, my request is this: Please pray for Theresa, Bertha and every other ACORN advocate that we've come to know through this most important and still evolving story. They are hurting. They are scarred. They need our prayers.
The importance of this is expressed in "Pray for Theresa" at http://firebreathingchristian.wordpress.com/2009/...
Keep fighting the good fight! As Hank Hanegraaff has wisely said, "Prayer is firing the winning shot."
There is a reason the mainstream media has not touched this story:
Their job is to "spin" for this administration. And, they can't start spinning until the story stops growing. They can't get a handle on it yet.
They cannot afford to come out with a line of excuses while there is risk a new tape may emerge that undercuts those excuses.
This is not silence. They are holding their fire.
By the sound of his nervous "laugh" right after the question……. he knew
So I guess Gibson's theme song should be:
Jimmy crack's 'CORN, and I don't care.
Ok – Katie Couric's story repeated others, rather than going out and getting their own stuff – except they got Bertha Lewis on camera talking about "McCarthyism" – good going on that scoop – now we know ACORN in bed w/liberal press. When is the Fox interview coming Bertha? Oh – and they forgot to include today's video. They're a little behind.
"Maybe that's just one we leave to the cables?" Really Charlie?
To find out where the Main Stream Media has been on this story: http://tinyurl.com/bt24rp
The MSM is truly the Propaganda Press.
Will we see this on SNL? naw….just another repeat of Sarah…Charlie Gibson, you are just dumb..maybe you are suffering from memory loss and that's why you will be leaving the evening news? Whatever, I'll not miss something I never watch.
The only thing Gibson knows is the "Buttocks-Clown Doctrine."
I really do like the word lockstep. Couldn't be more correct could it. This whole mess stinks. I just cannot believe the media in this whole thing. I cant believe the complicity. It really is sickening thats why defeating obama and his dreams and visions will become our lifes work.
This is exactly why i do not and will not ever watch abc,nbc,or cbs all i want is fair news thats all.
I guess Charlie still thinks you can pick up a turd by the clean end!
Sarah smile!
GotchaMan Charlie Gibson just got Gotcha'd .
He is not the problem it goes way deeper then the peons like him and Katie that deliver us the news.
I hope they make a story out of this and hold the main stream accountable for this mess we are in.
Yes they make the big bucks to cover the big storys that are on their agenda.
The thing is the TRUTH is just not on their agenda.
Hey, I found it on a twitter that the Angry Libs were using to describe the "FBI profile" of a common teaparty-goer in DC.
Saul Alinsky rule: Saul Alinsky rules in dealing with your enemies is making your enemies live by their own rules will destroy them.
Feel free to copy and paste anywhere & everywhere! Saul's rules: Keep the pressure up!
My hunch is that Gibson faked his ignorance on the story. In his warped, liberal mind he wasn't going to dignify the story by even admitting to knowing anything about it and by faking ignorance he's trying to downplay the relevance and significance of FOX News, talk radio, and the web blogs.
You just gave me the chills with that mental image buster…thanks a heap.
Not Over.
And a good morning to you too, bud!
Charlie you will never be Walter. He is turning over in his grave listening to your Jounalistic skills. and how you have betrayed your American audience.
Charles Gibson put out to stud?
Well, after all this willing partisanship he might get a career hawking Viagra, no "journalistic integrity" required there.
Is he still alive?
To bad there wasn't someone around to yell "You Lie" at Mr. Gibson. I find it very hard to believe he knew nothing about the ACORN Scandal. These bloodsuckers have been in the news for a long time. If he really was unaware of this disgusting, mess he needs to get out of the media business.
I bet Gibson wishes he hadn't said that now.
Is it not Charlie Gibson's job to know what is being reported in all the media?
Out of a small ACORN, a mighty Oak has grown (Obama). But trees can't grow without fertilizer, and the fertilizer is provided by the likes of Charlie Gibson. He shits on (fertilezes) stories about ACORN, Van Jones, Obama administration czars, the truth about illegal immigrants and abortion proposed in Obamacare, and then wrings his hands about his (and his comrades in the MSM) shrinking market share to the new media.
Never mind, Charlie – Hey, Charlie, what's the latest on Britney Spears? Now THAT'S REAL NEWS – You 'gotta' love the networks!
what a moron this has been going on with acorn for a while. he must live in a box with the atny. gen. because neither have a clue
Nice case of selective memory.
At least he's retiring soon.
Charlie Gibson is the epitome of a Lemming of Left Wing Journalism. Not knowing about this issue tells me and most thinking people just how "out of touch" he is with current events. I agree with the poster above, Gibson only reads and presents what someone puts on the teleprompter! Take away the T-prompter, and he is lost just like Obama, stammers and stutters when he looses his T-prompter!
This entire Healthcare and ACORN issue has been the GREATEST Civics lesson for this country and it will have a GREAT OUTCOME……People are actually READING bills, doing research, staying in touch with current events. Obviously if Gibson is indicative of the Main Stream Media which is NOT Main Stream and is not Media, that is OK because the AMERICAN PEOPLE do not need teleprompter robots, they are finding the TRUTH themselves, and that IS A GREAT THING………..
Charlie, You have traded in your self repect. I hope whatever you were paid was good enough to let you sleep at night. You have now set yourself up to go down in infamy. Was this your plan? I am sorry you sold out, because you all are going down.
Wait! Stop the presses. There is a very simple explanation for Charlie not knowing about the story. Turns out, ABC says he did know about the story . . . just not as it was described to him!
Get this, from the Fox News website coverage: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,550605,00.htm... —
"Later Tuesday, ABC sought to clarifiy Gibson's comments: 'He was aware of the general story and Jake's reporting on it but wasn't familiar with it as it was described to him on the radio this morning.'"
Some people believe that! Yep.
As Tommy Smothers once wryly said, in another context:
"Some people believe that. And some people believe they've seen a chicken with lips!"
So, Charlie's defense is the Steve Martin defense . . . "Well, I FORGOT!"

I did not think anyone in their right mind was still watching the Networks?
Has Charlie Gibson heard that he is irrelevant?
But of course Sarah Palin is a boob, not chuckles!
It's obvious to me that true journalism is dead, except for a select few that remember what it means to be a journalist.
These news agencies will not do anything, It would be like biting the hand that feeds them.

It's amazing how the undercover sting of ACORN has also acted as an undercover sting of the MSM. Prior to this sordid story I think that I speak for many when I say that we always SUSPECTED that there was media bias but I think today we KNOW for certain. Charlie Gibson – you've been punk'ed. Two months from the end of your "illustrious" career. GOOD RIDDANCE
People work all day, come home turn on the evening news trusting to be informed of relevant events and this dishonest agenda driven ‘dirt bag’ doesn’t know about the widespread fraud and corruption being funded with our tax dollars to the tune of 8.4B and the extensive ties to the Obama administration. F… you Gibbs!!!
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie…completely sold out…
My thanks to Mr. Wade and Roma for exposing just how out of touch with reality the Network News is.
So Charlie is, in essence, saying, ".. leave it up to the internet to tell the truth, we don't stoop to those levels here on ABC."
Nancy, I am afraid I think you are incorrect. Many people do not have cable tv still. They have no choice but get their news from those bozos. Many more still do not have internet connections, either. So, where are they getting their news from? Network TV. If it isn't covered on local Fox stations, then those people are not exposed to the national news that Cable news does provide, so they just don't know. How many years of my life were spent getting only one side of the story.
How pathetic that Jon Stewart (the Daily Show, Comedy Channel) had to SCREAM out at the media last night about their lack of coverage on those explosive videos. Pointing out the fancy technical advantage CNN had with holograms, but let 2 young kids scoop them on this huge story with $3k in expenses only.
You have a valid point – My parents just finally broke down and got cable (basic – 14 channels, most they've ever had) because the law re: digital conversion screwed them out of all but one channel when they tried a converter box. That was the local NBC affiliate. Many elderly or those in rural areas still do not have cable, dishes or anything else. SAD. – they have to rely on the 3 major networks. I know a girl who lives in the boonies and still has trouble getting online with HughesNet (used to be directv) for her internet connection – it's out more than in.
[...] Who would’ve thought this possible? Two previously unknown young people, while being completely ignored by what used to be called the mainstream media, are causing huge repercussions for [...]
If that was not a hypothetical question, the ACORN Doctrine is to "create a crisis, because only through crisis can we get change". Houston, we have a problem (a crisis) in the MSM.
Gee. Charlie Gibson's comment to leave that story "to the cables" is code for illegitimacy. In his mind, the story has no merit or we don't want to dirty our hands with that one. I loved @RobertinLexington's comment. I got a good laugh from that. Good one!
I agree. This story is WAY BIGGER than Watergate. No comparison for sure. Hannah & James are Woodward and Bernstein. I've heard that if this was breaking on the side of the Left, there's already be a move in Hollywood to make the Giles & O'Keefe story.
Yes. History will ask those very questions. I'm glad I'll go to my grave knowing that I didn't vote for this man. I did my homework and never, never bought into anything thought that came from his teleprompter.
Don: Ok here’s my question, Senate bill yesterday passes cutting off funds to this group called ACORN. Now we got the…we got that bill passing, we got the embarrassing video of ACORN staff 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 that’s got government ties. But nobody’s covering that story why?
Charlie: D'oh! Uhhh…because Sarah Palin's and idiot?
Archie Bunker had a definition that fits Charlie Gibson in the matter;
You are a Meathead; dead from the neck up!!
Guess we should start referring to this as ACORNS "Prosti-tot-gate". Like Deepthroat said to Woodward and Bernstein—FOLLOW THE MONEY!!!!!
Charlie's "Dan Rather" moment
You're right – And Janine Garafolo would be cueing up to play Hannah – if it were the Left catching the Right at the same thing. (Although, she's not nearly pretty enough (by a mile) to play Hannah)
Exactly what I was thinking. Sarah Palin is smarter then Charlie Gibson & now even he knows it.
The conclusions to be drawn from Gibson's comments are rather limited. They are:
(1) Gibson/ABC are covering for ACORN, or, at the very least, attempting to aid their cause by not reporting and by professing ignorance;
(2) Gibson/ABC are so thoroughly incompetent that they failed to take notice of the released ACORN footage, failed to know that the US Census Bureau severed ties with ACORN and failed to notice that the United States Senate voted (by quite a large margin) to cease funding ACORN.
Either scenario is not a good one. Perhaps he should have just come right out and said that since the NY Times hadn't been reporting it, he had know idea.
Yeah, right, some idiots advising a pimp on setting up an underage brothel and a hooker how to get taxpayer-assisted housing smells worse than a president purposefully violating the US Constitution, condoning a burglary, obstructing justice by erasing 18 minutes of his taped oval office conversation, covering the whole thing up, and then RESIGNING from office in utter disgrace. FatherofSixSons (quite an achievement, that), and the sheep who agree with him, must all be hard of smelling. Get a perspective, people!
I guess I just don't know that much about Obama. Tell me, which crimes has he committed? Let's prosecute him for those crime without delay!
Nancy, WTF is a press "core?"
Pathetic.
I listen to this show every morning and all I can say is I was flabbergasted. I really hope Hannah, James, and Breitbart nailed an office here in Chicago (the President's hometown). It would be a welcome sight for those of us here that are standing against his policies (esp. Hannah lol). By the way, why were ACORN & SEIU not on his list of those endorsing his healthcare plan OR the special interests he is so dedicated to fighting against, hmmm?
Worth 1,000 words there, Nancy!
"You can't handle the truth!"
The citizens of the US are more saavy than this moron. And Charlie is here to break what?? Oh, news. What? Didn't know? What a load.
Time for a quick quiz! Charlie Gibson . . . This is your chance to shine! Here we go . . .
Question: "Charles Gibson, here is a question for you. What is YOUR first name?"
Charlie Gibson: (laugh) I don’t even know about me. Uh, so you got me at a loss, I don’t know. Uh, uh, but, but My goodness if I've got everything including a first name to me we should talk about me this morning.
Question: "This is the American way…
Charlie Gibson: Well maybe, maybe knowing my first name is one you just leave to the cables.
Question: Well I think that knowing your own first name is a huge issue because it is pasted all over the website of the ABC organization and it’s a multi…
Charlie Gibson: Well, I know we’ve done some stories mentioning my first name before but uh, uh this one I don’t know about.
Question: Jake Tapper did some blogging on it. I know he’s at least blogged once mentioning your first name.
Charlie Gibson: You guys, you guys are really up on the uh on the ABC website.
Wait! Stop the presses. There is a very simple explanation for Charlie not knowing about the story. Turns out, ABC says he did know about the story . . . just not as it was described to him!
Get this, from the Fox News website coverage: <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,550605,00.htm…” target=”_blank”>http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,550605,00.htm… —
"Later Tuesday, ABC sought to clarifiy Gibson's comments: 'He was aware of the general story and Jake's reporting on it but wasn't familiar with it as it was described to him on the radio this morning.'"
Some people believe that! Yep.
As Tommy Smothers once wryly said, in another context:
"Some people believe that. And some people believe they've seen a chicken with lips!"
So, Charlie's defense is a varient of the Steve Martin defense . . . "Well, I FORGOT!"
I agree with you totally. I just bought the book, so i could understand this philosophy, and I think Beck has the medias number and beating them at their own game, by using Alinski's RULES!
He knew, he is being defiant. You know because he was intervied yesterday and he still didnt discuss it today
Saul Alinsky writes in his overview: "Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future."
We are using their own rules against them – that's what frustrates the Left so much! i.e. – Tea Parties & catching them in the act, using their own words against them (Van Jones).
Gibson is a total MORON! Gibson would be lucky to be the dirt Sarah Palin stands on! He doesn't hold a candle to her. He is a disgusting human being.
Obama is George Soros's puppet!!! Everything that Obama says comes from Soros's mouth first!
What a bald faced liar this guy is….
He's been in the news game way to long for anyone to believe that response.
Thank god he's on his way out…..
Yeah, She could ask him what news sources he reads.
The joke is wearing thin……..
that will be his legacy. who's charlie gibson…no one knows or cares b/c he did nothing.
It is so delicious to see this smug a$$ show his own ignorance, after looking down his nose at Sarah Palin, grilling her on what periodicals she reads, and how she felt about the Bush Doctrine.
Silly rabbit , Trix are for kids, pardon the pun. I am so proud of these Kids. This is the beginning a a new era of journalism. We no longer need those who don't listen to us to report the news. These fine young Americans give inspiration to millions who will take a closer look at a lot of our issues, "and trust me you will see more young folks digging up the truth on all we question nation wide". Who needs the mainstream media moguls with the fine folks at Big Government and the ones who will pop up next.
God Bless America. Ken Gentry
Well you could say the same about the president I guess. He can't answer anything without his promter.
He learned it fro Hillary. Gotta work on the Cackle part.

And this is the jerk that attempted to portray Sarah Palin as ignorant and uninformed! I am quite enjoying watching the curtain being pulled back on these clowns. At this point, only the truly ignorant watch these stations for news. If Obama believes that his appointee to the FCC, Julius Genachowski, will assist in implementing policies to destroy talk radio and other alternative media, he had better understand that the uprising will be tremendous! It will make the anti-government health care rally look like a barbecue!
Holy crap! The guy prefers to be thought of an a 14K moron rather than admit he didn't go after the ACORN story and was scooped by a couple of kids in college!
This guy is truly falling on his sword!

I've sent Gibson two emails this week…told him…..talk about 'gotcha' journalism….I think we 'gotcha'….with your pants down. As for CNN, all I can say is I think someone stole their identity. It's called BigGovernment.com and
FoxNews Channel….the worlds LEADERS in news AND TRUTH. Thank you Fox and Andrew and Hannah and James.
Charlie Gibson. What a joke. Let's face it true journalism and journalist are dead for the most part. These network clowns are trying to be celebrities like Hollywood. A true jouralist remains in the background never revealing political leanings or positions. None of these so called news shows on in the morning are news shows more like variety shows.

Pay back for what Charlie did to Sarah Palin
I know; it's weird how everyone here agrees with each other. Great intellectual debate! (Woops, I think that makes me an "elite" or something like that.) I think I'll just crawl back to my hole now and never return.
