If we had a vote, this would be my choice for the one thing that most defines how Rupert's News Channel has fucked up the national dialog.

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

As ThinkProgress has documented, the death of Anna Nicole Smith was a feeding frenzy for the national media. While many cable news shows have moved on to other stories, Fox News host John Gibson remains fixated on the late Playboy playmate. Every day since Smith’s death on Feb. 8, Gibson has devoted significant segments of his show “The Big Story” to Anna Nicole.

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.”

If you watch Fox Noise you are an idiot. Period. End of discussion. What else can I possibly say?

1. It's been 3 weeks since Anna Nicole Smith passed away.

Somebody else started a thread about what Gibson said earlier today. What a dumbass.

2. Sorry, didn't know this was a dupe

I don't have as much time for this as I used to and I missed it.

Shall I delete, or call it a "reminder post"?

5. No, the first one was several hours ago. This morning, I think.

I think it's a worthy thread. :thumbsup:
I'm sick of the Anna Nicole Smith "news" coverage. How dare that windbag make a pointed effort to justify it?

6. Don't delete it. I hadn't seen it and....

...I'm sure others havn't either.

3. Well I think that people who feed of other's misfortunes

are ghouls. But that's just my opinion.

4. Oh, good grief

OK, the poor woman died. 90-second piece, our sympathies, etc, etc. Look, I'm sorry that she's dead but really, it's hardly the most important thing in the world.
