John Gibson’s big story: he’s been cancelled
Posted March 14th, 2008 at 9:15 am




It hasn’t been a good week for conservative hosts of unwatchable cable talk shows with poor ratings. Earlier this week, MSNBC yanked Tucker Carlson off the air. The next day, Fox News gave up on notorious blowhard John Gibson.

Fox News Channel, tinkering for the first time in eight years with its popular early evening lineup, is replacing its 5 p.m. news broadcast, “The Big Story,” with an election-theme program for the foreseeable future. The network confirmed this week that “America’s Election HQ,” a program that displaced “The Big Story” temporarily last month, would continue indefinitely. The program’s hosts, Bill Hemmer and Megyn Kelly, also anchor the network’s mid-morning newscast and are seen as rising stars on the channel. The change was first reported by the blog TVNewser.com.

John Gibson, the longtime host of “The Big Story,” will continue to have a role on television, the network said, although it appears that his future for now lies mostly on radio. For two years Mr. Gibson, a conservative commentator, has been the host of a three-hour program for Fox News Radio immediately following his television show.

I’d always kind of hoped that Gibson would get fired for something he’d said on the air, but if low ratings did the trick, I suppose the end result is the same.

Of course, with Gibson having lost his show, there’s really one thing left to do: mock him relentlessly for years of foolish, hateful demagoguery.

1. Gibson's got a face for radio

I don't watch Fox.. it's blocked in this household...
so we won't be missing him on bit.

2. In fact, his hair and dome-like forehead always made me think of the aliens in "Mars Attacks" . . .

I guess we know how to quit YOU, asshole.

:woohoo:

7. K&R #2 for, THIS was the news I'd been looking for!1

:woohoo:

I remember what an earnest young reporter he used to be during the O.J. trial, featured on Whorealdo's CNBC show, then he turned into this---this------THING!1 when he went to Faux.

A few months ago he attacked Keith, who said, "Oh, yeah? I remember how you used to tell me how much you admired me, practically following me around." (paraphrase)


Good riddance to this inner-scumbag, at least for now, since these p.o.s. never go away for good.

8. Between Gibson and Cavuto, I don't know which one I loathe more.

Last week as I passed by a TV with Cavuto's show on, the caption question: "Are Democrats playing politics with the price of gas?"

9. Hopefully Cavuto and the ax won't be far behind. nt

10. Oh no! Who will lead their forces in the next battle of the War on Christmas?

Nobody wraps themselves in the cloak of faux outrage quite like John Gibson.

11. And the fourteen people that used to watch him

Are shaking their canes in fury.

12. I remember Gibson when he was on MSNBC

My roommate is one of those Fox watchers and just told me that the show was put on an indefinate hiatus during election time. This kind of reminded me of when Mitch Albom had his radio show similcasts on MSNBC. Then 9/11 happened and the show never was seen again.

13. This is some damn fine good news. Gibson is such a punk. n/t

14. Darn - That's mean no War on Christmas this year...

What will we tell the kids?
