Gibson: Reporters Who Ignore Anna Nicole Smith To Focus On Iraq War Are ‘Snobs’

On his radio show on Friday, Gibson attempted to defend his coverage. He accused reporters — such as CNN’s Anderson Cooper — of “news-guy snobbery” and attacked them for covering the Iraq war. Mocking Cooper, he said, “Oh, ‘There’s a war on! There’s a war on!’ Maybe, just maybe, people are a little weary, Mr. Cooper, of your war coverage, and they’d like a little something else.”

What a douchebag.

[BAMF]

...Wow...and that guy should now be fired and never allowed to cover anything ever ever again. And he should be beaten also. And chemically castrated, just to ensure he can't infect the world any more.

Seriously....wow.

if there weren't any good movies to watch , i wouldnt have a tv in my house .

movies = home theater though . thats all it is . tv should die.

[KuJoe]

Seriously, why are they still covering Anna Nicole? It was funny for the first few days but now it's just depressing that we as a people are more interested in a dead nobody than tainted peanut butter... WTF?!?

I flipped from Fox to CNN to Headline to MSNBC and couldn't get away from the white trash whore. Real news cost money, gossip is cheap. That's why we're stuck with that ugly skank.

[BAMF]

Chuck, you wanna start our own news station and cover the real stuff? It could bev like Hannity and Comles, except with boxing gloves!

Don't be so sure. He's old and his hip is fragile and thin.

+1 totally agree.

i personally think anderson cooper and lou dobbs are probably two of the last dedicated journalists out there. they approach things in a fair manner and look at serious issues without bullshit.

notice that the more unpopular the war on terror gets, the less foxnews reports on it?

The whole story is a waste of air time. I flip the channel. I hope the news outlets that keep running this crap go down in ratings because others are doing the same.

Right after she dies there was a report about how her autographs were worth nothing then right after her death they skyrocketed. I was floored that it was actually on the news. The only person I feel for in that case is that kid, she is going to have the most fucked up life.

True about Fox reporting less on it.

Not sure I agree with the Cooper analysis. I've watched him a few times and he uses his fair share of strategically selected adjectives.

fuck i didnt bother paying attention to her shit when she was alive, im definitely not wasting my time on her now that shes dead.

[news reporter thought logic]

at least we won't lose any more reporters to beheadings and IEDs covering the fat WT whore like we would reporting about stuff that actually might matter to people.

...except maybe with the other fat WT whore (britney)...she's crazy enough now, i wouldn't put it past her to start burying mines in her yard and beheading POW's [prisoners (paparazzi's) of white-trash].

[/logic]





edit - i actually heard the words Israel, "air corridor", Iran, Bombs, and *gasp* War...for a solid 5 minutes today. I think there are signs of real news peeking through the veil (PUN INTENDED!)

[Tackleberry]

fuck the media in the ass with a nail covered broomstick

[fresh&clean]

That is blasphemous.

The libs cling to their media like sports fans to their teams. Subsequently when the opposing "team" fucks up, they snicker.

Ahh, the conservatives never do that, right? They're as placid as monks when a democrat screws up.
