I'll Miss You, Charlie Gibson
By Judy Howard Ellis - Politics DailyCharlie Gibson, I don't want you to go. Your presence on "World News" evokes memories of my childhood, where there was dinner and there was Walter Cronkite. You are old enough to comfortably wear that old-fashioned journalistic style without seeming pompous. You know when to report with a straight face, when to push recalcitrant politicians further, and when to show emotion because that's what human beings do. You are young enough to understand the quirky side of 21st-century life and smile about it. You lead the newscast with the deftness of a conductor bringing the songs of many stories ...
Diane Sawyer Finally Gets Top Anchor Job
By Bonnie Goldstein - Politics DailySo long, Charlie. ABC News just sent out a press release that Charlie Gibson, the "World News" anchor, will be leaving the highest ranking job on TV news. The anchor chair is the center of a news program's universe, and the evening news is the crown jewel of a network news division. Gibson's title goes to Diane Sawyer, who has held every other top position as both correspondent and anchor at both CBS and ABC. ...
Charlie Gibson Passing ABC's 'World News' to Diane Sawyer
By David Sessions - Politics DailyABC's Charlie Gibson announced Wednesday that he is retiring as anchor of "World News" at the end of the year, and the network said Diane Sawyer will replace him. Sawyer will leave her position as co-host of ABC's "Good Morning America" in January. Gibson's program has been finishing second in the network news race behind NBC's "Nightly News" with Brian Williams. ...
Poll: Jon Stewart is America's Most Trusted Newsman
By David Knowles - Politics DailyHow real is the "fake-news" these days? Real enough to land "The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart atop the list of most-trusted newscaster in America "now that Walter Conkrite has passed on." Going up against the big three network anchors -- Katie Couric, Brian Williams and Charlie Gibson -- Stewart handily beat his competition. In a Time magazine online poll of about 9,000 people, 44 percent said the comedian was the best source for trustworthy news, while 29 percent gave that honor to Williams, 19 percent named Gibson, and just 7 percent voted for Couric. ...
Obama: 'McCain Won't Say it to My Face'
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyIn an interview with ABC's Charlie Gibson, Barack Obama was asked about the increasingly nasty attacks on him by the McCain campaign. (Transcript) Obama: In what aspect, Charlie? Just kidding. The Democratic nominee went at the question head-on, and pointed out that the seemingly shameless McCain has, indeed, shown some: Obama: Why don't we just clear it up right now? I'll repeat again what I've said many times. This is a guy who engaged in some despicable acts 40 years ago when I was eight years old. By the time I met him, 10 or 15 years ago, he was a college professor of education at the ...
Sarah Palin Rocks TV
By Dave - Politics DailyHer Favorable/unfavorable margin may not be as stratospheric, but she's still a ratings sure thing. And Katie Couric joins Sean Hannity and Charlie Gibson with a bite at that meal ticket. TVNewserKatie Couric will spend two days traveling on the campaign trail with Governor Sarah Palin on Sunday, September 28 and Monday, September 29, conducting an exclusive interview to be broadcast on the CBS EVENING NEWS WITH KATIE COURIC beginning Monday (29). Coverage will continue on Tuesday, September 30 on THE EARLY SHOW and CBSNews.com. Coverage of Couric’s travels and interview with the ...
Post Interview Roundup
By Dave - Politics DailyOn the actual video, most parts are available hereThe Gibson-Palin interviews are over and I think we can say definitively that nothing has really changed except, possibly, Charlie Gibson's approval rating.. Those who like Sarah, still like her and now they don't like Charlie Gibson. Those who don't like her, still don't like her and they think Charlie is fine, which is what they thought before the interview.I watched the section last night and I thought it was extremely hard hitting which is fine, of course, but the lead-in I will say was especially slanted. Troopergate was mentioned without ...
Gibson-Palin Interview Reactions
By Dave - Politics DailyFirst clip: Second clip: She did good. Definitely good enough that her support will not erode from this interview anyway. Keywords are poise, quick-thinking, smart, and absolutely fearless. Unafraid to offer her opinion. Bottom line: Not a lightweight, not at all. In fact, she's probably going to freak out the left even further when they realize she's not just a pretty face. if anything the fault would be in too much earnestness and forthrightness. Interesting lead off question from Gibson about whether she thought she was really ready to be vice president. Tough question, because she ...
Palin: I'm Ready
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyRepublican Vice-Presidential nominee Alaska Governor Sarah Palin sat down for her first extended interview with ABC's Charlie Gibson. The full interview will be broadcast on Friday, but excerpts are available and were shown on the evening news broadcast. In one part of the interview, Gov. Palin addresses the questions about her experience and declares herself ready to serve as Vice-President, and president if necessary.GIBSON: Governor, let me start by asking you a question that I asked John McCain about you, and it is really the central question. Can you look the country in the eye and say "I ...
Obama Wins by Losing Debate
By David Knowles - Politics DailyOn policy points, Hillary Clinton bested Barack Obama in the second half of last night's debate. By the time Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos pivoted away from their impersonation of a supermarket tabloid, Obama was grumpy, tired, and off his game. That said, in virtually every poll taken since the debate (Drudge, ABC, to name but two) Obama comes out the clear winner. Why? Well, as Denise Williams so ably chronicled, because ABC overcompensated for past debates that seemed to favor Obama, they (and Senator Clinton with them) now stand accused of laying into the Illinois Senator with ...
