John Gibson on Faux news: Is this guy for real?
Edited on Wed Oct-20-04 04:52 PM by ksoze
I screwed up again and clicked over to Faux news and 'The Big Story" with John Gibson. This guy gives new meaning to the phrase Political Hack and made Rush seem tame. There is clearly no intent to even "pretend" to be a newsman and along with some blond wannabe, just openly trashed any points that did not match the repub playbook.

After grilling a demo strategist on Iraq along with a Repub Sen. guest, he then ends smirking with "...geez all this no ties to terror in Irag stuff can almost make you believe it".

3. Gibson's a moron and a true BushCo hack . . .
one of the many reasons I never, ever watch cable infotainment anymore . . . the only tv news I occasionally tune in for are the BBC and C-SPAN . . . FAUX, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, and ABC are all off the speed dial . . .

5. He was officially censured by the British regulatory authority
(Fox News is rebroadcast on satellite here).

"Fox News was therefore in breach of Sections 2.1 (respect for truth), 2.7 (opportunity to take part), and 3.5(b) (personal view programmes - opinions expressed must not rest upon false evidence) of the Programme Code. "
http://www.ofcom.org.uk/bulletins/prog_cb/pcb_11/upheld_cases?a=87101

He just whined that the Damn British were all out to get him.

6. He was on The Daily Show a few months back. . .
to promote some lame book he'd written. Jon Stewart ate him for lunch. It was great to watch!

8. He's the class act who was assessing Clinton's chance for survival
On the air.

"The bad news for people who don't like Clinton is this type of operation has a high probability of success."

13. This morning on Fox
they replayed one of Gibson's rants, or whatever they're called. He almost screaming about the ungrateful British, and how if it wasn't for us, they'd be goosestepping and speaking German. He ended by calling them filthy, and telling them to brush their (beeped) teeth. This is fair and balanced journalism, or even journalism at all?
