Charles Gibson Unaware of Five Day-Old ACORN Controversy, Senate Vote to De-Fund

.

Don: Okay, here’s my news question. A Senate bill yesterday passes, cutting off funds to this group called ACORN. Now, we got that bill passed and we have the embarrassing video of ACORN staffers giving tax advice on how to set up a brothel with 13-year-old hookers. It has everything you could want – corruption and sleazy action at tax-funded organizations and it’s got government ties. But nobody’s covering that story. Why?

Evidently, until that moment, the topic apparently wasn't on Gibson's mind.

Here's Gibson's jaw-dropping answer:

I didn’t even know about it. Um. So, you’ve got me at a loss. I don’t know.

Or maybe this is just one you leave to the cables...

Gibson interviewed GOP vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, twisting her words, with the help of selective editing, to portray her as some kind of out of touch, excessively religious, militaristic rube.

With the above interview, no editing is required.

[Are we literally supposed to believe that the anchor of a major news organization hasn't been aware of ACORN's maleficence - until a radio DJ told him?

Are we allowed to call anchors liars, or is that off limits too?]
