Was it really ignorance or an attempt to devalue the story by implying it wasn’t important enough for the major networks who are too busy carrying Ogabe’s water? (Oh, piss boy…)

Wait a minute. Palin knows something Gibson doesn’t? Can’t be! If he announces his retirement is due to Alzheimers, well, then okay. Otherwise, he’s one of the dumbest folks on TV.

Charlie can see England from his (corner) office window.

I think you are all being waaaaaaay to hard on old Charlie. He just reads the news. If somebody doesn’t write it for him or the makeup lady doesn’t tell him about it, you can’t expect him to know about it on his own.

But Charlie looks so professor like with those round glasses he wears.

He must be smart.

You beat me to it. I just wonder if he had his reading glasses on the tip of his nose when he was doing the radio interview.

My father, a broadcast executive, used to call guys like Gibson… “a hunk of meat and a mouth.” Beta male dogsbody on Good Morning America was a career high for this putz.

Two twenty year old real journalists have done more reporting in the past couple of days then ABC, CBS, NBC has done the whole year.
Two “punk” kids should, but won’t, win a Pulitzer prize for investigative journalism.
Because only the “elite” knows what is news and what isn’t…and this isn’t…according to them.
