that the guy with the thick reading glasses and the smug look in his face?

[Col Frank Slade]

Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, Charlie.

[aruanan]

Puffing or fluffing?

[kosciusko51]

He’s leaving because he lacks the (unfounded) credibility of his predecessors, and is getting his head handed to him in the ratings.

[bergmeid]

Good riddance. I’ll never forgive Gibson for the way he treated Sarah Palin. Buh Bye!!

[Ballygrl]

Does Charlie actually think he was objective?

[shadeaud]

Charlie..................you made a huge mistake when you tried to belittle Sarah Palin. Take you money and attitude buy an island off San Francisco Bay and write your memoirs

[Lee'sGhost]

“since objectivity is ‘less of a marketable commodity.’”

?????? What would he know about that?

[highlander_UW]

The time to leave would have been BEFORE he sold out his objectivity.

[wita]

or the extent to which we strive for objectivity

Huh? Just what am I supposed to understand from that statement Charlie?

...and then this!

“People seem to want to hear news presented according to their own beliefs, and I don’t understand that.”

Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, so you don’t think truth, objectivity, fact checking, common sense, and reality, have anything do do with what people want in news?

Translation: Charlie Gibson wonders whether the triceratops will outlive the brontosaurus or vice versa....

[LibLieSlayer]

This is a little tough to take coming from the pompous SOB who sat in a chair looming over Sarah and looking down at her through his professorial glasses as he played gotcha throughout their entire interview. He can retire to hell for all I care.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Snort...!

[Rodney Dangerfield]

All one has to do is read the transcripts of his interviews with recent Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates to see just how “objective” Gibson was.

[Eagle Eye]

"People seem to want to hear news presented according to their own beliefs, and I don't understand that."

Not so much that as so called journalists want to present the news according to their own beliefs.

Sorry, Charlie. Time to go.

[italianquaker]

I have a message for the odumbo/dnc mouthpiece. ENOUGH ALREADY!!!

[Tijeras_Slim]

Take you money and attitude buy an island off San Francisco Bay and write your memoirs

What will he do next week?
