Shouldn’t the man who played “gotcha” with Sarah Palin be up to speed on this big news story? After all, that’s his job!

PhotobucketRemember last fall when ABC’s Charlie Gibson looked down his nose at Governor Sarah Palin and tried to sound superior when asking about the Bush doctrine which the Washington Post admits has several definitions? Well, once again it appears Charlie hasn’t been doing his homework. He’s clueless or indifferent to the biggest corruption story to break yet in the first months of the Obama Administration:

AUDIO:

Don Wade of 890 WLS radio’s Wade and Roma show in Chicago threw a question at ABC World News Tonight anchor Charles Gibson:

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.

Don’t you think that the anchorman of one of the big three news outfits should have a clue about a scandal involving tax cheating and child prostitution connected to an organization taking millions in tax payer dollars and one with close ties to the Obama White House? Isn’t it newsworthy in the the same way as the “culture of corruption” Democrats used to howl about?

Don’t Americans have a right to know?

Charlie is lying when he says he wasn’t aware of the scandal. He just didn’t want to answer it. The only answer he could give would be to say they aren’t covering it because it would make their guy look bad ….. !

Sorry Charlie, old Charlie looks like he is ready for the canning factory.

We find the media is useless, when it comes to Democrat scandals, who knew.

Seems to me that Charlie Gibson is pretty much out to lunch on anything. This would include the sun coming up in the morning.
And when your primary sources include the likes of the Kos kids…..well you get the idea.

Perhaps if the hooker LOOKED like Sarah he just might have had more to say.

Statements by Gibson are as irrelevant as statements from Carter. I will be glad to see him go, however his replacement is no better.

More proof that he is a NEWSREADER and not a newsman.

A can of tuna scores higher on my scale than Charlie Gibson in regards to credibility.

A very sad commentary on the irrelevant media. Gibson has missed the boat – AGAIN! If nothing else, it should show people just how out of touch they are. Makes me chuckle!

The guy is another intellectual, superior type moron that we have to listen to. I am so tired of these folks.

You can be sure he is boned up on the stupid green – global warming movement though.

Gibson is not out of touch or stupid. He is intentionally not covering this scandal. My husband and I decided to watch his news show last night for the first time in such a long time. We could only stomach the first 10 minutes or so. We were curious if he would cover the ACORN scandal, and not only did he not cover it, the coverage proceeded to smear conservatives groups as usual, bringing up the racist issue, the Obama as Hitler signs and so on. We just couldn’t handle it anymore and turned it off.

Hey look at it this way, he can retire from reading telepromptors for a living and go into politics where he can read telepromptors for a living.

I’m sure Sarah Palin could help him out on this.

if he were really surprised then his response would have reflected that, as it was it was like he was trying to cover the fact that he was caught with his pants down in a room full of nuns. what a dipshit. i won’t watch a single show on abc, haven’t for a long time, they are a messed up network.

That look of the constipated liberal elitist flashing across Gibson’s mug will be the death mask of the MSM.

It is long past time for Charlie to go. His lack of objecctivity isn’t the only thing dragging ABC News down, but it is certainly the place to start. Will Diane Sawyer be any better?

Looks like Charlie took a lesson from the Clintons….deny, deny, deny or was it the other way around the Clintons took a lesson from Charlie…no matter, same outcome, they’re all liars. Listening to the liberal media is like listening to the story a child tells who just got caught stealing candy from the candy jar and still denies it. Somebody needs to spank Charlie and his liberal media or put them in time out if spanking seems to abusive.

Exactly my sentiments.

And, I can’t wait until the constipated liberal elitist’s spectacles come falling off the end of his constipated liberal elitist nose when his guy loses to a (female?) Republican in 2012. There! How’s that for tolerance?!? (I have learned from the “Great One”…i.e., Mark Levin!)

Who or what is propping up the mainstream media? If the Washington Post and their like are losing $1.10 for every paper they sell, then what is keeping them going? Is it the hope of a government bailout? Is it the Hotel chains or whoever buys these rags in bulk? The mainstream media is the enemy of America and whoever buys these rags is an accomplice. The quicker they fail the better.

@SoCal Chris:

“Thank me very much.”

I think Gibson is a casualty of the ABC management’s long overdue assessment that they’ve become irrelevant. Gibson’s replacement will do no better until ABC determines for itself that viewers want professional and objective journalism, not partisan cheerleaders pushing agendas.

I beginning to think that most of the MSM reporters attended the school of Baghdad Bob journalism.

Stopthepresses2 – Ever heard of George Soros? He has millions to spend as long as the media (whether it is tv, print, radio, etc) keeps spinning the crap the dems require of them. I give them until the next election. Money bought Obama a new address, but he won’t be staying long. I’m just sorry he had time to unpack his suitcase.
