Will John Gibson retract his lie about progressive website?
Edited on Wed Jun-06-07 07:46 PM by antiimperialist
Fox News radio host John Gibson faces the dilemma of continue to claim without evidence that the site Mediamatters.org was created by the Hillary Clinton camp, or apologize and retract.
Gibson told this lie on June 1st, and is feeling the heat from mediamatters.
Read details of the incident here.
In the meantime, you can email him at gibsonradio@foxnews.com

Ask him to retract or produce evidence.

It's a weird accusation, because...
the site has even defended Obama and Edwards at the same time when they were victim of smear attempts by the corporate media.
See example

4. Wow that just zipped over your head.
I never mentioned Media Matters at all. I was talking about Gibson and the entire Faux News lot. They could care less about the truth and don't care if every word they spout out is an outright lie as long as it smears their opponents.

Geesh.

2. He really wants to be one of the big badasses at faux
but unfortunately he's too much of a lightweight to even compete with his coworkers. Remember when he wrote some book about the war on christmas and O'lielly practically stole the idea and took it over. Gibson is reduced to making almost coulter like outrageous remarks in order to get attention.

Besides he looks like a fuckin ghoul or vampire or somethin.

3. Maybe he should write a sex book specifically aimed at white people
so they will have more babies and thus avoid being outnumbered in America, as he loves to warn his audience. Maybe that would sell.

Then again, when I think of sex, John Gibson is not who I want to think of.

Can't you just see him, though, fighting over the whole "War on Christmas" concept with Billo?

"It's MY War on Christmas. I thought of it first!"

"Oh, give it a rest, Gibby. You don't have my sterling name and reputation. Obviously nobody will buy a book on the War on Christmas without the O'Reilly name on it. With my imprint on it, they won't be able to keep it in stock."

"Oh really? Where are you selling it? The Body Shop? Free loofah with every purchase?"

"Lay off it, Gibby. At least I have PHONE sex. The best you can do is exhorting OTHER people to make more babies."

"Hmph. Perhaps I should write a different book. A Middle Eastern cookbook--"

"Don't even go there, Gibby."
