Big Story: John Gibson's Show Yanked At FOXNews
The New York TimesFox 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. Fox News Channel, the top-rated cable news network, has benefited in recent years from a stable programming schedule, while CNN and MSNBC have made multiple on-camera changes. The programming shift underscores the emphasis placed on election-year programming by the cable news networks.
Let's walk down the memory lane of shame, shall we? Gibby insulted actor Heath Ledger shortly after his death, accused outed CIA operative, Valerie Plame of being part of an anti-Bush cabal within the CIA, introduced the world to the dreaded Oogah Boogah Fever, and finally, who could forget the xenophobic "make more white babies" rant. Perhaps he and Tucker could hook up for a new show together? Farewell, Johnny....we barely watched ye.
I've always felt that Gibson needed a good yanking.
meline morgan....neil cavuto...now this guy! right wing media falling apart?
This HAS to be because of the Heath Ledger thing.
Ghostly looking old fuck was too ignorant and vile for even FOX.....now that is one amazing achievement.
We you're bumped off Fox News ,you must really fuckin suck.
How wingnutty do you have to be to lose your show on Fox ? John Gibson wingnutty, seperated at birth from Glen Beck .
.
.
BWAAaaaaaaaaaaaa HA HA HA HA HA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAaaaa!!!
I know this news will make my brother's day... Ha!
Can't wait for Olberman to bring it up while Gibby's home drunk in the tub. Here, I'll say it for him till he does:
.
.
.
"Who's the bathtub boy now, ya tub a shit?"
.
.
.
I kinda don't like the little nazi myownself, either.
Damn. Hate to see him go. He was like a mentor to me. Yeah right!
This is off subject, but is there anyone here that frequents HuffPo? I was just curious if anyone was sick and tired of how slow they are to post "pending" comments for each story.
huh... i thought colbert was joking...
other than a quick note on his show last night, this is the first i've heard about it...
such good news...
Time for a glass of wine ,
Hip , hip , horay ! .
Logan your forgot Gibsons War on Christmas bullcrap.
Buh bye to the whitest white guy on teevee!
He'll land on his feet. Fascist apologists are never unemployed for long in our corporately-run US media.
Anyone else notice Colbert's mocking Gibson's sacking was posted before this article about Gibsons sacking was posted?
HA
HA
HA.
SweetAtheist @ 11:
I don't go there anymore. It's to insane. But apparently they are scrutinizing EVERY comment posted now hence the 289 to 609 comments always pending until it passes the "boards approval".
But as the Gibbled One explained regarding the "more white babies" thing: He likes babies. See his website for recipes. It's just that he prefers white meat.
Does he get to keep the hairpiece?
Woo-hoo, time to celebrate! I'm trying to figure out why Fox would get rid of someone who so obviously lacks a brain. Thought that was their ideal employee. And don't forget the contribution of his "war on christmas" book. Where would we be if we couldn't be distracted by that every holiday season?
SweetAtheist @ 11:
Yes...I posted a comment last night on HuffPo and there were like 490 comments pending on the article...can take forever to get a comment posted for popular stories. Maybe they've been getting some real nasty shit posted lately and feel like they have to review every comment before it's posted.
"...will still have a role in television."
Let's hope it's selling them at a Best Buy in Harlem or South-Central LA.
SweetAtheist @ 11:
Huffington Post's web traffic has been going up a lot recently. That may have something to do with it.
Wasn't this the c**ksucker who made fun of Heath Ledger's death?
Just another vicious Republican. Karma sunk his ass.
killthepoor @ 25:
Most of it Hillary Haters trying to Sabotage Obama
Blaed @ 2:
Damn, I forgot about her! Thanks for the reminder. It's been a bad couple of weeks for wingnuts in the media. Who is next on the chopping block?
L.A. Confidential @ 27:
I was a regular over there, but haven't posted in over a year. At one time, you couldn't swear or anything, now it is like a bunch of attack dog trolls on every post.
Logan Murphy @ 28:
Please let it be Bill "War on Everything" O'Lielly!!!!
ConcernedHusseinCanuck @ 29:
It's nasty.
SweetAtheist @ 11:
I do but that's not what get's my ass on my shoulder about Huffpost. It's the sensationaliized headlines, the borderline tabloidism and all the mindless celeb crap. They've gone down that road more and more of late.
Not what you were asking about that but thought I'd vent.
Buh-bye johnny, I never watched ya.
Now, be off to the dung heap of the no longer needed and never wanted.
CD @ 14:
Well, I didn't want to use too much bandwidth, but you're right. BillO will have to find another warrior to combat us eeevil librulz. ; )
Good fucking riddance.
Goodbye, John Gibson. We won't miss you, you incredible gasbag.
Roger Ailes put his resident drunk out to pasture.
Big deal
L.A. Confidential @ 31:
It's the new National Enquirer. BS headlines that don't match stories, and all the celebrity gossip you can handle. Arianna is obsessed with celebrities.
Apparently Gibby's "Big Story" all along was that nobody actually watched his pathetic excuse for a TV show.
StirFry for the People @ 5:
They all suck. Ratings and money is what it's all about. FOX does nothing on principle only on the almighty dollar. Gibson lost viewers and FOX lost sponsors over his Health Ledger comments that were to vile, disgusting and insensitive even for FOX viewers. That's what it boiled down to I'm sure.
On Sept. 10, 2001, the day before the infamous attacks, the NSA intercepted a message in Arabic that said "Tomorrow is zero hour."
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/06/21/attack/main512988.shtml
I finally get it! The terrorists we're cryptically referring to the ratings for Gibby's pathetic attempt at TV programming.
John Gibson is the most repulsive looking man in the history of television. Gibson looks like somebody was kneading a giant wad of white flour dough and decided to stick a pair of eyes, a nose and a mouth on the whole misshapen mess.
Hareli @ 35:
qft
ConcernedHusseinCanuck @ 38:
Her butt is on the line for $5 Million. Thats was her big mistake. It's going to take a lot of hits and clicks to pay that bill off.
While I'm not a big fan of Olberman, I think he deserves great credit in John Gibsons nickname.
Goodbye Bathtub head!!!
hahhahahahahahha tough luck racist albino !!!
L.A. Confidential @ 44:
The plagiarism charges?
Odd isn't it how so many of the Fox News personalities in the evening line up look as if exposure to natural sunlight would be fatal to their existence.
Now all they need to do is, dump the whole fucking fox news channel, and then there will be balance in the world. One can hope.
Don't forget mocking Jon Stewart crying over 9/11:
I don't like to hate people, but faux changes my mind.
hey Logan - Did he say “make more white babies”
or “make more babies” ?
did i miss something? what happened to neil kaputo???
Whoops,
Don’t forget mocking Jon Stewart crying over 9/11
A truly vile turd gets flushed down the toilet. Next!!!
I don't think that Rodger Ailes is doing this because of any reason but money. Perhaps this was done to let Billo know how anyone can be replaced. I can guaroan-tea with cajon dressing though, that FAUX news don't give a shit what is said by their people.
Maybe if Gibby had worn a bow tie. Oh wait, that didn't work for Tucker either.
he's got a face for radio.
and in the right wing propaganda world going to radio is actually a step up- he'll probably have more listeners and he'll be able to say anything he wants over and over and over for hours and never get called on it. on radio he'll be helping to push the bushit into the news cycle instead of just report and spin it like he did on TV.
Wow I cant believe that PRICK Gibson is really gone.
Will he lose his house now, and get kicked out of the country club, and have to put his kid in public school, and get a job at McDonalds and get fired from it and live in the park and get beat up by homeless people who recognize him, huh, huh, huh?!
GOOOOODY!!!
Gibson's one of the UGLIEST MF'ers to ever assault the eyes from a TV screen. I'm suprised he didn't get the axe sooner.
Oogah Boogah Fever... I remember that one.
So did they ever find out if it's related to the Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu?
You didn't even mention his shit-eating grin.
John Gibson is resigning to spend more time with his hair.
I'll give him credit for one thing though: he made this pasty-faced ginga feel positively bronzed in comparison.
Later, you fascist albino prick
It gives me GREAT pleasure to see this ugly S.O.B. get the axe.You worthless NAZI bastard.
joe cantwell @ 53:
yeah, I must have missed that, too.
Blaed @ 2:
Don't forget that freak Tucker Carlson over at MSNBC was yanked this week too.
Thats what happens when right wing pollution is in the air all damn day and night. Unfortunately the traitorous mainstream media will still not allow progressive liberals to have thier own shows.
John Gibson is one of the most sophomoric idiots in the media. As embarrassing as this is to say I listen to him for a few minutes at a time on the radio (Sirius) a couple times a week and I have to tell you I think he is semi retarded. His producer or whatever he is, Angry Rich (brilliant name), is one of the biggest assholes I have ever heard. Both of these idiots can rot in hell. Eternity is not long enough.
You knew he was headed for a timeout when they put a “cohost” on with him a few months ago. Of course I let him know it was a sign that he was on his way out. For some reason he didn’t answer my email.
Logan Murphy @ 28:
Glen Beck?
The albino drag queen is nothing but a footnote.
ConcernedHusseinCanuck @ 29:
I was a reg at Huffpo, too. I'm a fan of Arianna who is exactly my age and an ex-Republican like me. But you wouldn't believe what somebody called me over there. It topped anything I've ever heard in my life. Actually, I saved it! Who knows, there might be a contest somewhere someday for something like that. My entry will win. Phew!
There goes a man whose misfortune was that he was white to quote Long Island's Geraldine Ferraro. May he enjoy his retirement.
Carly Hussein Corday @ 73:
Well Carly, if I may call you that, what did they call you?
I bet Shepard Smith a close second!
I know that schadenfreude is a negative emotion -- but in this instance, I just can't help myself. After all, Gibson hasn't shown much hesitation when it comes to mocking other people for his own benefit.
GOODBYE AND GOOD RIDDANCE, GIBSON!
I'm sure gonna miss the ole' cocksucker.
"Make more babies."
"Five in the head."
Worst pompadour in world history.
Stupidest analyst in world history.
Gibby, we can only hope you take the honorable way out...
...eating bologna sandwiches on Wonder Bread until God comes to add you to the Circle Of Traitors To Country And Kind.
Peter G @ 48:
ROFLMAO! hahahahahaha.............
Cheer up Gibson, AM radio has such a great future. You know its the media everybody wants to be part of....for the next year or so. BWAHAHAHAHA
hey, what if fox goes liberal just to cozy up to who ever is in power?
Logan Murphy @ 34:
lol
For me that one stands out though because about 1/2 of conservatives fell for it and the other half realized fox was preptrating a hoax to raise viewership and sell books.
Let's not forget Gibson's comment that America needs another 9/11 to unite us behind the GOP.
Hey, Gibson, don't let the door hit your ass on the way out... of America.
Douchebag.
SweetAtheist @ 11:
Yes, that is exactly why I'm here instead of there. It started to happen all of a sudden, never used to, so I took it personally when my comments were suddenly regarded as "pending" and some didn't show up for 2 days, while others never did, yet idiots were posting left and right, and commenters with childish, filthy mouths escaped the notice of all this new monitoring. The site went from difficult, a pain in the neck, a nuisance to navigate, to virtually unusable. I was stuck with a "habit" and my supply had gotten undependable. Right at this critical time in history, too! Not HuffPo's fault, really, they're simply too leviathan, so big they can't get up and walk around the room.
But it was better than that one blog, where "trusted commenters" are permitted to "disappear" any posts they don't agree with. That was just ridiculous.
joe cantwell @ 53:
At least you can laugh at Gibson, in that crazy old coot of an uncle sort of way, sort of like O'reilly. Gibson's propaganda skills aren't nearly as sharp as Cavuto's or Hannity's.
A hollow victory, but maybe a sign of things to come?
"Farewell, Johnny….we barely watched ye."
Hmm.
Wait a minute. Who cares about Gibson.
This is about Fox News going all-campaign for the next eight months.
Think Americans don't um *know* Obama is an America-hating Muslim? They will by November.
Think Americans have forgotten about all the scandals that dogged the Clintons in the 90's? They will have remembered them all in detail by November.
This has nothing to do with Gibson. It's about getting the focused Republican message out every day.
I really don't understand what difference yanking this bastard makes. The network is still owned operated and controlled by the same lude snake, who will just find anther ass hole to replace him with.
The same bull shit is going on with MSNBC when they replace the little bow tie wearing idiot who's ass they just kicked off. They still have Chris Mathews, sitting up there spiting all over his guest and talking crazy and that other nut who can't think of anyone to guest for him except Buchanan, with his lude obstructive raciest conduct, as he tells people of color whom he can't stand to shut up. She should have spit in his nasty face, that would have got his ass in line for sure.
With the exception of Keith, there is nothing else left for the public interest and they don't rightly give a dame because it is a know fact these people are not on the air like normal networking systems, who are rated by public views. These bastards are rated by the number of viewer they can torment and they do anything they can to replace real investigative news reporting
All the money they are making is again off the sweat of the American people, with the public campaign donations, we are giving to our elected officials, to pay these ass hole millions of our dollars for two minutes of air time, while they spend hours and hours after the fact, hacking every word they say and framing their views to consider with whatever their own agenda is.
They figure we can get along just fine with the fair and balanced shit they shove at us from these idiots on Fox and Friends and their interpretation of good news coverage and let us not even discuss O'Riley and that other fat ass hole, Shaun.
It just turns your stomach, thinking about have to either look at this gang of right wing thugs or just turn the shit off, listen to the radio or the Internet and go to bed.
It has become just that bad.
The "Greatly Revered Illuminati of Negative Chstmas Haters" are not to be fucked around with!
Fox deliberately hires (or encourages) their commentators to be as wild and extravagant as possible. They are rapidly falling apart sensing the next American president is going to be a democrat. They're going into a self protect mode. I just hope they come undone.

Another "John" leaves the American landscape

bart @ 82:
You are closer than you think there! Rupert Murdoch owns the Sun and the Times newspapers. For years they had always supported the Conservative party. When it was obvious that the Conservatives were going to lose the election, Murdoch switched the support to the Labour party. Same in China, the Chinese Communist party objected to the BBC broadcasts carried by Murdoch's star satellite broadcasts. Murdoch pulled the BBC of to comply with the Communist party.
SLIMEBALL.
The phrase "face for radio" comes to mind....
Gibson just didn't have the ratings. However, Bill Hemmer is a bit more mainstream than the uber-conservative Gibson, having come from CNN. I will depend on C&L to monitor the new show, as I can't stand to watch Faux Noise for even a second.
Could not have happened to a more deserving person!
Well maybe that was wrong there are a lot of very deserving reichwing nutbags that deserve worse, limpballs,hannity,billo,just to name a few.
Gee I thought the ramblings from an obviously diseased mind that were his trademark had finally spread to his skin. Unfortunately it makes him perfect for radio.
ConcernedHusseinCanuck @ 30:
Ah ya beat me to it!
BEST NEWS I'VE HEARD THIS WEEK! Bravo! Thanks for brightening my day.
Farewell, Johnny….we barely watched ye.
Actually in my case that should be....NEVER watched ye. As a matter of fact that goes for all of Faux News, it's blocked on my tv so I don't have to come across it while channel surfing. I don't care for CNN's conservatoid "News" why in the world would I want GOP "News" on Faux...Hmmm?
On the bright side, he did give us Keith’s new nickname "Bathtub Boy".
Singing in the bathtub
sitting all alone
tearing out a tonsil
just like a baritone
The idiot LIBERALS comments about Gibson shows just how
ignorant and stupid they are.
about bloody time
FOX news is now averaging 915,000 viewers in primetime compared to CNN's 2.3 Million.
I see that several blogs are featuring my favorite Gibsonism in their headers for this story, along the lines of:
Fox Puts Five in Gibson's Noggin.
Roger Allen @ 103:
Uh-oh. Trolls from the Neanderthal colony weighing in.
Want Ad: White, homophobic, zenophobic male looking for TV talk gig. Have many years experience in drinking any water asked of me. Willing to read talking points without asking any questions. Adapt at using hate speech from politics to entertainment.
Willing to move from #1 market to any other top five markets; except Los Angeles. Too many Jews out there. Can play "follow the leader" with the best of them.
Please contact John Gibson personally. No agent will handle me anymore.
Buh bye to the whitest white guy on teevee!
Not to mention the butt-ugliest one on TV. An albino Chimp looks like George Clooney next to John Gibson.
He should have exhorted White people to have more babies as long as they don't look like HIM.
Fire the Reslug Albino freak who is totally clueless and full of hatred.
Well, first Tony Snow got to be Bush's Press Secretary. I can actually imagine them toying with the idea of getting this guy for the job. He fits the necessary stupid, arrogant category very nicely.
Great! I was hoping Beck would be next after Tucker, but this is good.
The Political Junkie @ 109:
Is it just me...has anyone noticed how hideously ugly white supremacists are? I mean WHOA! Way beyond a mere beating with an ugly stick...I'm talkin, gettin lost in the ugly forest, climbing the tallest tree, falling and hittin EVERY SINGLE BRANCH on the way down, kinda ugly.
Lefty @ 107:
Hehe, and LOOKY! They spelled every word correct! Must be using that one SpeakNSpell they've been sharing for the last 20 years...way to go troglodyte! How long did it take you to type that? 3 maybe 4 hours...as for your reply to this...*YAWNS* I'll check back monday, ok Sparky? You just keep pluggin along.
Maybe now he can go back to hiding in Argentina with the rest of the aging SS.
You know, FOX is missing out a tremendous opportunity to make money, I am sure that there were many people willing to chip in a buck for a Fire John Gibson Lottery.
And just think of the billions they can haul in for O'Reilly! Plus, with O'Reilly, they can do it over and over... the lotter is not for getting rid of BillO, it is to bitch-slap the winy bastard. In fact, they could do this once a week, I mean once a day... okay, once an hour, and make BILLIONS! This could even solve the value of the dollar, because it could have big overseas impact as well.
Fox - Are You Listening?
Roger Allen @ 103:
Hey Roger--is there some evidence you'd like to present? Or, did your brilliant observation leave you mentally drained?
liberalHUSSEINmoderation @ 113:
Thank goodness, we will have Obama in office soon and along with his pastor they will very soon put "whitey" in his place. Thank goodness Olbermann figured it out and started plugging Obama in time.
Obama1 @ 118:
Well, I'm all for Obama being prez...but his pastor can stay in church and outta DC as far as I'm concerned. And I hope by "whitey" you mean, the good ol' boy network of corporations and politicians who've ruined this country. Not white people in general...not all us honkeys are racist ya know.
It's hard to believe that a person such as a vampire like Gibson could do so much damage to America by his daily lying on Fox Entertainment. He will be missed by the reich-wing republiCONS who are hell bent on the destruction of America as we know it.
As far as HuffPo is concerned, I stopped posting 6 months ago when they started censoring remarks and I'm not talking about profanity. For example if you use the word "fascists" your remarks were not posted. As others have said, it's not the same with all those tabloid headlines with little substance. I don't visit HuffPo any more.
Obama1 @ 118:
Thank goodness, we will have Obama in office soon and along with his pastor they will very soon put "whitey" in his place. Thank goodness Olbermann figured it out and started plugging Obama in time.
Good Hillary-lovin, Obama-hatin snark stew there, bubba. With a dash of repug that you can hardly even taste.
StCyrlyMe2 @ 89:
I really don't understand what difference yanking this bastard makes. The network is still owned operated and controlled by the same lude snake, who will just find anther ass hole to replace him with.
The reason it DOES MATTER is because John Gibson is not just a cog in a wheel, he is a human being. We are delighting in the misfortune of a loathesome individual. The downfall of the shithead who thinks God killed Heath Ledger, because God reads PLAYBOY. Sure, they'll replace him. Won't he feel like shit? Won't it be great? Hell yeah.
Carly Hussein Corday @ 121:
Good Hillary-lovin, Obama-hatin snark stew there, bubba. With a dash of repug that you can hardly even taste.
Good job, I was starting to worry that no idiot libs would see thru it. B.Hussein, Hillary, Karl Marx, the ultimate three stooges, eventhough, (so sad for you guys) Marx is dead I'm sure B Hussein and Hil pray to him every night.
Good, John needs to stay out of the direct sunlight. It might kill him.

Aha...I got took...dammit...
So who do you idiot repugs pray to everynight? Hitler? Mussolini? Elvis?
Carly Hussein Corday @ 73:
Thanks for all your replies to my question. I was just curious and I knew if I asked anyone on HuffPo the same question I wouldn't hear back from anyone for a week. I even offered to help out in the evenings approving the comments, but I never found my offer. I accused them of cowering down to Billo's accusations. Who knows. So put a fork in me - I'm done with HuffPo.
I like the people on C&L much better anyway.
Couldn't happen to a nicer fascist.
Roger Allen @ 103:
You're halfway into the thread
Did you get tired of all the bikini babes on the beach turning you down all morning?
This is one tool that won't be missed.
maybe gibson and tucker can team up and be a sequel (sic) to insanity and colmes!
Roger and Mike are just by to claim the body.
Look, he is lying over there face down in a puddle of lies and shame.
Lucky you showed up before dark, wild dogs running around here.
