Charlie Gibson sneeringly said of the news surrounding the ACORN videos that “maybe that’s one you leave to the cables.”
Yes Charlie. You at Good Morning America had much bigger stories that really mattered to people like…
An interview with Matt Damon who is hawking a movie where he ironically plays a “whistle-blower.” (GMA likes pretend whistleblowers as opposed to real ones?)
Rachel Ray’s Meals for a Steal.
Serena Williams admitting she “lost control.” Duh!
Paddle Surfing With Laird Hamilton and Sam Champion. (Is that his real name?)
Reality TV Makes Being Fat Cool. (I’m serious. That’s what they called the segment)
So I’m sure that you’d understand that with all those pressing stories, Charlie Gibson has to allow stories concerning organizations that receive millions in taxpayer funds, has strong ties to the President of the United States and is caught on tape teaching people to defraud the government among other crimes up to an including murder and sex slave trafficking to be handled by the cables.
You know what. He might as well leave it to others. Because unlike Charlie Gibson maybe some others are actually interested in truth.

I love this blog. You help normal people deal with abnormal media saturation.

It's finally cool to be fat!?
Why isn't there an article about this on hotair or biggovernment? I feel so misinformed.

I don't have cable, but isn't GMA just a "feel good" morning show. I mean that in the lightest sense of the word, but do they even actually cover news? How does someone like Charlie Gibson come to terms with the fact that he's, essentially, an entertainer for people half-watching TV?

Is it okay that I would rather have just watched Matt Damon?

So, it's cool to be fat now. But is it cool to be pregnant? You guys need to get on this, before the MSM scoops it up!

Jon Stewart covered the ACORN story on The Daily Show last night, and he took the MSM to task for not breaking the story themselves. You can watch the clip on http://www.thedailyshow.com, it's called "The Audacity of Hos".

I second Siobhan's recommendation…watch the Daily Show clip–it's great to see Jon Stewart poking fun at MSM and himself!
