Michelle Malkin reports that ABC’s Charlie Gibson explained why he hasn’t covered the news concerning ACORN in recent days:
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!
You see, Charlie was left with few options.
Either Charlie knew about the story and didn’t cover it which means he’s so biased that he can’t bring himself to report any harmful truths about the Democrats.
Or Charlie didn’t know about the story and he’s just incompetent. Charlie Gibson chose the excuse of incompetence. And here’s the thing. I believe him.

But… but… but… He hopes you had a good day!
In his defense, no one in the MSM wants to cover this story, because to do so may require a disclosure of The One's association with ACORN.

With it comes to the msm, acorn, the left-wing liberal controlled congress and the current administration, one must keep firmly fixed in mind that what they have in common is they are all nuts. Like nuts at harvest, many of them are cracked, their ideas stale and of low quality. The market rightly assigns to them a low value. In one other respect this gang of four is in one more respect like nuts at harvest, they are all for sale.

Apparently no one at ABC was watching what the Senate was doing on a Monday night.
Or they watched and not one reporter said, "Hey boss, isn't this significant? Shouldn't we ask some questions?"

I don't believe him.
We may think that he would more naturally admit bias rather than acknowledge incompetence, but his dirtiest littel secret (in his mind) is that he is biased and that's the secret he wants to keep.
Besides it would be NEWS for CG to admit bias, but it wouldn't be news for him to admit incompetence.

Maureen Dowd heard Charlie say… "ABC is a useless news source"

Hmm… another nail in the coffin for the MSM.
Personally, I never understood the appeal of all those political talk shows where everyone just yells at each other. If I wanted to watch a bunch of blowhards yelling, I'd simply go to one of my mom's dinner parties…

Heard on the Jim Bohannan show (radio) tonight, his guest say that the Catholic church gave millions to ACORN. Went to your excellent site first hoping to get the scoop. Any idea what the guest was talking about (maybe Cardinal mahoney's gang out in LA?)?

Catholic bishops cut all funding to ACORN after last year's election.

That was the first time I agreed with Charlie–he is incompetent.
He forgot to add biased, but we all knew that.
September 17, 2009 at 6:15 pm
I meant to say because of his incompetence he forgot to mention his bias which has kept him employed all these years. These puppets do not have an original nor a conservative thought.
