An ABC TV network news anchor said he’s troubled by what he called the biased news coverage of Fox and MSNBC.
“I worry about the lack of objectivity and the future of the news business,” Charles Gibson told a Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce audience yesterday.
The host of ABC’s “World News” program said the two cable networks are playing to niche audiences - Fox to conservatives and MSNBC to liberals - to the detriment of what should be objective news gathering and reporting.

This coming from the guy who didn’t know about ACORN.
Douche-bag alert.
Said it should be “left to the cables” since it involved “prostitutes”. Sigh.
Charles Gibson, hear! hear! . . . He of the right down the middle interview of Sarah Palin
Gibson? Oh you mean the libtard lackey who was foaming at the mouth and condescending to Sara palin during the interview?
Grabbin’ at straws. How idiotic from a business perspective ... he’s sending his viewers to Fox and they are staying!
BTW, Charlie says “objective news gathering and reporting” doesn’t he mean “selective news gathering and reporting” considering Charlie and other in the Lame Stream Media have done nothing but cheerlead for the Democrats.
The threads yesterday talking about how the White House was bickering with MSNBC fits in here.
The White House may try to paint Fox as far to the “ridiculous” right as MSNBC is to the looney left (it isn’t) so that they can complain about them both and paint CNN (now without that radical Lou Dobbs) as the center.
Won’t work.
But bias at ABC is healthy !
This coming from the station that refused to allow any negative advertising or difference of opinion on their “health care” special. Why any Republican would now want to be interviewed by these people is beyond me.
Triangulation!
I guess ABC is having their “Sister Souljah” moment!
Charlie’s right. Bias is only good when it comes from ANBCBS.
just retire Charlie
Good grief Charlie Gibson, give us a break.
Charlie needs to go back to doing the super serious morning news show with all the entertainers and chefs and the weather.
Pot/Kettle/Black
Pray for America’s Freedom
Charlie is an absolute moron, period.
Oh Please “niche market”? Is that why Fox’s ratings beat all fo their competitor’s combined? Some “niche market” huh?
