ACORN Watch: Charlie Gibson and the ostrich media By Michelle Malkin • September 15, 2009 09:52 AM
Several Chicago readers and Twitterers report that ABC News anchor Charlie Gibson told WLS-AM Chicago talk show hosts Don Wade and Roma this morning that the reason he hasn’t covered the ACORN scandal is that he didn’t know about it.
Reader Patrick M. e-mails:
"While listening to Don Wade and Roma this morning on WLS AM Chicago, they had Charlie Gibson on as their usual Tuesday morning guest. Don asked Charlie, why, after the senate last night voted to halt funding to ACORN and after three of those video tapes of ACORN employees helping the pimp and prostitute set up shop, there was no mention of it anywhere on the network news. Charlie gave out a most uncomfortable laugh and said that that was the first he heard of it!"
Don and Roma pointed out that ABC’s Jake Tapper reported on the Census Bureau’s decision to drop ACORN from its data collection partnerships on Friday as a result of BigGovernment.com’s video stings.
Gibson’s got his head in the sand. So typical of the ostrich media.

Bernie Goldberg’s looking for new names for the “mainstream media.” I’m pitching ostrich media. How about you?
Too busy working on discrediting and smearing Palin to notice I guess
Gibson is lying.
Isn't it time you retired?
What? That's already in the works?
Never mind.
I remember when Charles Krauthammer ripped Gibson a new one after he asked Governor Palin about the so-called “Bush Doctrine”. CK basically said Governor Palin got it right and Gibson got it wrong:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/12/AR2008091202457.html
CK should know since he coined the term “Bush Doctrine”.
Charlie Gibson = BS
Dear Charlie,
You aren’t very informed are you?
Love,
Sarah Palin.
I remember this.
Charlie Gibson -— YOU LIE!!!
I think of the “MSM” as disinformants, personally.
Charlie Gibson, “I didn’t cover 9-11 because I didn’t know about it.”
Someone must have made off with his magical “scolding professor” reading glasses.
I’ve got a new motto for FOX news.
“We report because they don’t want to.”
I heard it and it was well acted. Don also asked him about the march on Washington last weekend and old Charlie breezily told him that he was sailing in Maine and it didn’t concern him in the least.
Charles Gibson: I can see Starbucks from my house.
He just let's the little people hand him his script each day and then Charlie pollutes the air with a lot CO2 reading it.
