Here is unbelievable audio that ABC News Anchor Charlie Gibson saying he has not even heard about the ACORN undercover video scandal! He was asked about it this morning on radio station WLS-AM Chicago.
Gibson laughed when asked and said "I don't know about it." He then said condescendingly, "Maybe that's just one you leave to the cables." . . . (AUDIO)

Ha! Ha!...very funny Gibson!
Ha, ha, ha...but Charlie...you are sooooooo smart. Remember your slice and dice of Sarah Palin on the Bush Doctrine??? You were sooooo smug; soooooo know it all...ha, ha, ha...
Karma, she is beyotch...you Mr. Gibson, and ABC (and the other alphabets and the print dinosaurs) are having your butts kicked by a couple of college aged kids; Glenn Beck and Brietbart TV.
COMPUTER ILLITERATE!
WOW.....ignorance on parade.....
At least Congress has heard about it.
It should read “of” ABC News Anchor.....
I was in too big a hurry.
The correct question to then follow up with Charlie at this point...is....what else don’t you know? Give him a simple test of ten ongoing stories surrounding the White House today...and I’ll bet he denies knowing anything about five of them.
At that point...why would ABC pay this guy to be a anchor? This has been my point on Katie Couric. She is hopeless, and without any real talent. CBS is tossing money into a pit...just make believe that she knows something.
Is he F ing kidding us??? “Maybe you leave that one to the cables”???
The UNITED STATES SENATE just passed an overwhelming vote in reaction to this in a matter of days, and he thinks maybe it shouldn’t be covered??
I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say he just admitted the mainstream media have abdicated their role as news reporters and have turned that function over to cable news.
“WOW.....ignorance on parade.....”
If you think it’s ignorance you are being naive. They do not report that which embarrasses their political party.
Gibson is a senile idiot...and that doesn’t say much for the 7 million dumb as dirt morons who hang on his every word Monday thru Friday evenings...
Hey Charlie, what newspapers do YOU read??
Rush is right on this one...
These people live in a bubble, and what they see, and report, is determined by The New York Times, and a bunch of largely-gay staffers, who will support Democrats at any price.
If the ABC producers and staffers decide it’s not important enough to cover, it doesn’t get covered.
Wow.
Damn.
Is it any wonder that Obama got elected?
I hope Sarah and Todd do a ‘high five’ when they hear this one.
;)PM
LOL...there may be some laughter under the roof of Casa Palin right about now...
The Daily Worker, comrade. Why?
Rush has been ripping Charlie about this today. State run media is beyond transparency about the corruption.
He probably reads the DUmp, daily kos and huffpo for headlines.
Lol...
Translation:
“I haven’t been told what to say about it yet...”
It doesn’t matter.
The alphabets are irrelevant today.
There came a time when button hooks and buggy whips were discarded.
Thus is the state of tv news and old media today.
The Gibson Doctrine: “I didn’t hear about it. Nobody saw me hear about it. It never happened. You can’t prove anything.”
Charlie Gibson Interviews Sarah Palin [Look at the editing]
It looks to me, like they edited with the intended goal to make Palin look uninformed and a warmonger. Both of which she clearly is not. You could probably say that Charlie’s “interview” was sort of “Photoshopped” by the abc editors.
EXCERPTS: Charlie Gibson Interviews Sarah Palin (September 11, 2008)
THE BOLDED & UNDERLINED PARTS WERE EDITED OUT OF THE INTERVIEW
GIBSON: Governor, let me start by asking you a question that I asked John McCain about you, and it is really the central question. Can you look the country in the eye and say “I have the experience and I have the ability to be not just vice president, but perhaps president of the United States of America?”
PALIN: I do, Charlie, and on January 20, when John McCain and I are sworn in, if we are so privileged to be elected to serve this country, will be ready. I’m ready.
GIBSON: And you didn’t say to yourself, “Am I experienced enough? Am I ready? Do I know enough about international affairs? Do I — will I feel comfortable enough on the national stage to do this?”
PALIN: I didn’t hesitate, no.
GIBSON: Didn’t that take some hubris?
Now that he knows will he be reporting on it and the ongoing saga
Oh, well, no wonder he had no idea..reading rags like that
Bubble boy Charlie Gibson strikes again. Who writes his stuff?
"News ankas love to not to know! Nuthin' make a news anka happier than not knowing the answer to your question! Just ask a news anka a question... any question... 'Hey News Anka, what about that ACORN scandal?' 'I don't know that shit! Keepin' it real!' News ankas love to keep it real - real dumb!"

He lies.
I thought he retired, not that I wever watched him anyway.
What a condescending, irrelevant schmuck.
This politically-shaped news genre is all completely familiar to them and it is a game they play, probably so that a complete dumbass outside numbnuts cretin happening to hear them would think "they're fair - they just don't know about it" Trouble is that those 'complete dumbass outside numbnuts cretins' are most of the Democrat voters
My thoughts exactly. He knew allright.
Also caught the dig about people who get their news from the internet.
Poor, poor ABC. Pathetic.
People are laughing at these ass clowns who supposedly give you the news....
“If you think it’s ignorance you are being naive. They do not report that which embarrasses their political party.”
DING!! DING!! DING!!
We have A WINNER!!!!!
On another board, I’ve got libs trying to point to VITTER as an excuse for this!!!
These people are freakin’ INSANE!
Plausible deniability.
Sounds more like either he or his employer were banging
the little girls brought up by ACORN.
It’s well beyond time to HAMMER these people....
Use their own tactics against them, and make Democrats SPEAK OUT, and TAKE A POSITION on this!!
Ask them WHY they haven’t denounced ACORN and cut thier ties, and returned their money. And the MOMENT they hem-haw around, Hammer them with “Do you SUPPORT government funded Child Sex Slavery?? Are you a PEDOPHILE???”
These are sick people, completely without morals of any kind. And Voter Fraud is, and always has been, just the TIP of the iceberg...
It’s time to put them down.
The RAT-commie transmitter in his head blocks all news detrimental to their cause.
First there’s the nervous laughter, then the “I don’t know what you’re talking about” BS out of his pie hole. Talk about a “who cares” attitude! He knows everything about it and wouldn’t report it if his life depended on it. (which it could) His tone and inflection were exactly like that of the guilty guy on “Colombo”. It’s that same tone that would get Colombo interested in pursuing the guy further!
Lies by omission are still lies.
Take it to the minority churches. ACORN was engaged in criminal conspiracy to bring the poisons of child sex slavery and neighborhood whorehouses to minority neighborhoods.
For a “Community organization”, ACORN was nationally working COUNTER to the benefit of the community.
No, he is an elitist liberal news anchor in the same vane as Dan Rather. A couple weeks ago he said Cindy Sheehan should move on with her life. When she went after Bush, it was the leading news story.
I’m shocked that Don and Roma didn’t go after this guy with follow up questions.
His holier than thou act with Palin still makes me mad.
WHOEVER IT WAS IN THE MCCAIN CAMPAIGN THAT SET THE INTERVIEW UP FOR PALIN WITH THIS TRAINED MONKEY DID HER IN.
The legacy media (newspapers, magazines, and tv) are archived. Rush’s radio show is also archived but I don’t know of any public libraries that pay for access so that visitors may access the archives.
We win the day to day knowledge but their lies are carved in stone.
This is the #1 news guy for ABC News — the anchor. This story has been going on big at Fox for a week, and on the Internet for quite longer. Furthermore, this week the US Census bureau dropped ACORN as a census vendor. And the US Senate voted yesterday to defund this organization.
How does the head news guy at ABC not know about this story? Is he ignorant? Incompetent? Covering for the dems? What?!
When a couple of 20 year olds can take down a large politically-connected and corrupt organization with a hidden camera, yet the leading media outlets can’t lift a finger to do any such investigative work, much less follow the story after it breaks, something is seriously wrong.
There really are two medias in this country. And one of them is getting more irrelevant by the day.
