Perhaps he’s desperate to be as popularly hated as his colleague Bill O’Reilly. Who knows for sure? But Fox “News'” John Gibson has been desperately and shamefully attempting to grab headlines lately. At any and all costs.
Last Thursday after the bombings in London, Gibson appallingly said, “This is why I thought the Brits should let the French have the Olympics — let somebody else be worried about guys with backpack bombs for a while.”
That, the day after he’d said about the choice to hold the Olympics in London in 2012: “If they had picked France instead of London to hold the Olympics, it would have been the one time we could look forward to where we didn’t worry about terrorism. They’d blow up Paris, and who cares?”
Gibson, irony-of-ironies, wrote a book recently attempting to answer the question of why the world hates America. As far as we know, however, he didn’t include a chapter simply entitled “Me”. But he should have.
(The rest of Gibson’s America Hating Fox compatriots were equally despicable vis a vis the London Bombings last week. In case you missed any of it, MediaMatters has compiled a round-up of all the good hating from Fox.)
But Gibson outdid even himself in the way of slimy smears on behalf of his paymasters at the Republican Party and the Fox Republican “News” Channel by leading the way yesterday with what is quickly becoming the desperate Spin du Jour in the PlameGate/Karl Rove matter. Oliver Willis was there…
FOX News anchor John Gibson just said onair that he thought Karl Rove deserves a medal if he outed Valerie Plame. Let me repeat: John Gibson, anchor at the FOX News Channel, says he believes that we ought to expose our covert government agents and harm national security… as long as it benefits Republicans.
These people are sick, and a danger to America.
None worse, Oliver.
He has the full video. Prepare to be wholly disgusted.
frist!
Newt was on The Today show. Katie just listened to his Repup talking points: Joe Wilson lied about Cheney sending him, V Plame had a desk job Blah, blah.
This guy is ridiculous. So we should give the guy a medal for committing treason. His reason is stupid. PLame should have been outted and put into danger ( not to mention destroy all of her work) simply because he husband was against the war??!?
Wh-a-a-?!??! Does any sane person actually believe this is a good reason for this treason?
We’re going to have Saddam give Rove the medal. A nice shiny ‘hero of the revolution’ type medal for betraying America’s security interests.

Brad, you sure do pick pictures of these guys. I can’t even put my finger on it. He looks like such a…buffoon or something.
I don’t know why. I can’t help laughing when I see that picture.
John Gibson is a low-life. As an adoptive father, I was deeply offended by his term "abandoned kids store" in the following article:

I’m more than happy for Karl Rove to receive that medal!
As long as it is presented to him through the bars of his prison cell.
It continues to fascinate me how Faux News continues pandering to the lowest common denominator amongst its viewers.
We need to be supporting our Democratic leaders now more than ever.
Well, what do you expect from an asshole like Gibson??!! Since Gibson has his lips so far up Bush’s butt, just like everyone else at Fox, it doesn’t surprise me that he said something utterly stupid. This is par for the course at Fox. Republicans good, Democrats bad. Foxnews, disgusting.
This just is more evidence that the real war Bushco and Foxniks are fighting is not against terrorisms at all, and it is not being fought to preserve freedom. Their war is against America, or at least those Americans who do not agree with them and who do not submit to whatever they say. They have molded the federal government into a tool to conceal and to destroy reality while they siphon off our freedoms bit by bit, not to mention our national wealth.
This is a new low….even for Faux News. Carrying water for traitors? Hey Bennidict Gibson, do America a favor and DROP DEAD snapperhead!
Doesn’t anyone find it odd that those that make the most noise about patriotism are the least patriotic?
"Doesn’t anyone find it odd that those that make the most noise about patriotism are the least patriotic?"
No! That’s not odd — it’s the way of the world. Look at who makes the most noise about religion. Look at who makes the most noise about law and order. It’s all the same BS, friends, just different packages…
🙁 Is it any wonder that the ratings for the American version of Al Jazeera have gone down the toilet! From Bill "Mr. Loofah" O’Reilly to Sean "Conspiracy Theory" Hannity and all the other partisan hacks who laughingly call themselves journalists, they are increasingly desperate to help prop up a failed president. At the Nuremberg Trials they prosecuted the people who furthered the Nazi agenda with their propaganda. Even though these people took no active part in the atrocities committed by Hitlers’ demented followers, they were willing cheerleaders and accomplices in the worst case of mass murder in history. If and when (God willing) the lies and deceptions of this administration are exposed beyond a shadow of a doubt (I, personally don’t have any because I pegged these sons of bitches as liars from day one) if there are any indictments handed down, these lapel pin wearing propagandists ought to be seated at defendants table right alongside the BushCo criminal regime.
Yes, Rick. Seated at the same table and hanged right along with ’em.

I always wondered what ever happened to Sally Jesse Raphael – and here she is doing a cross-dressing bit on Fox "news"!!
She’s using O’Lielly’s loofa to fill-out the crotch – much like Chimpy himself in the flight-suit!
I wonder how many of its viewers have noticed what a bizarre collection of circus freaks are regulars on Faux News. Oliver North (Has this phony ever been in a combat zone?), Dick Morris (Wonder what kind of lingerie he’s wearing tonight?), Geraldo Rivera, Bill O’Reilly (How much did he pay the young woman he was sexually harrassing?), Newt Gingrich (There’s some values for you), Sean Hannity, Bill Bennett (Mr. Values lost $8 million in Vegas — playing video poker games, no less! How dumb is that?), Ann Coulter (This ugly woman will say or do anything for a buck), Michael Reagan . . . and on and on. Please tell me how the American public can take these clowns seriously.
