Yesterday, ThinkProgress reported that Fox News host John Gibson callously laughed at the death of actor Heath Ledger on the Tuesday edition of his radio show, suggesting he may have killed himself over the Democratic debate in South Carolina. Referencing a famous line from Brokeback Mountain, which Ledger starred in, Gibson disdainfully quipped, “Well, he found out how to quit you.”
On MSNBC’s Morning Joe this morning, hosts Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and Willie Geist eviscerated Gibson over his comments, which they deemed “grossly inappropriate” and “absolutely, totally out of line.” “I’ve got to tell you, that makes me nauseous,” added Brzezinski.
Scarborough and Geist focused in on the homophobic undertones of Gibson’s jokes about Ledger’s role in Brokeback Mountain:
SCARBOROUGH: Is he laughing that Heath Ledger died because he made a movie about two gay men? Is that why this young father dying was a punchline to John Gibson?
GEIST: Of course it is. That’s the implication.
SCARBOROUGH: So if you make a movie — this is now, it’s not that if you are gay, your death is a punchline. If you make a movie about being gay, your death becomes a punchline. I don’t know who syndicates this guy, but that is absolutely stunning, that John Gibson would be that mean-spirited and hateful.
Watch it:
Throughout the segment, Brzezinski was flabbergasted that Gibson may face no repercussions for his comments, at one point saying “I don’t know how you stay on the air after doing something like that, quite frankly.” Though she never actually called for Gibson to be fired, as some have inferred, she did suggest that he should not be allowed to “get away” with disparaging comments:
SCARBOROUGH: This is about as callous and harsh as anything I’ve heard. It is unspeakably rude.
BRZEZINSKI: I also just don’t see how you get away with something like that — I just don’t. I mean not that, I don’t know, I don’t know how you stay on the air. I don’t know who would listen to you. Maybe I’m not edgy enough.
Gibson is syndicated by Fox News Radio and hosts the Big Story on Fox News. Don’t let him “get away” with his “callous and harsh” remarks. Contact Fox News and John Gibson. Or give his radio show a call at 1-866-868-6861.
UPDATE: GLAAD has started a petition asking Fox News “why they continue to provide a platform for John Gibson’s cruel and tasteless comments.”
To even things out, I will cheer the death of Bush/Cheney.
January 24th, 2008 at 12:21 pmppl need to create an uproar over this like imus…who i think got screwed…
January 24th, 2008 at 12:24 pmI don’t often agree with Scarborough, but I appreciate his willingness to stand up against his own ideological brethren when they go too far. This is not the first time he’s taken on a right-wing idiot.
Of course, it’s possible that network rivalries take precedence for him, but still…
January 24th, 2008 at 12:25 pma trashy show, trashing another competing trashy show, isn’t nurturing the ”trust tree’. Even atheists deserve sympathy for being dead. TP devolves.

This is an example of how and why the Evangelicals repeatedly got burned by the Republicans party. Because the Republicans are evil.
Not even the most vile hypocritical Evangelical will mock someone’s death. Death is God’s territory. Everyone knows this. This is why most folks find it reprehensible that Bush mocked Tucker when she begged for her life.
January 24th, 2008 at 12:30 pmoh please. do you honestly think joe scarborough gives a sh!t about gibson’s hate. this is just nothing more than g.e. v. murdoch.
yesterday, scarborough in the first half-hour noted that there was alot of speculation about drugs in ledger’s death and he wasn’t going to go there until there was proof positive.
by the next break, scarborough had changed his tune and did a several minutes discourse on the ravages of drug use among young hollywood. and how he had friends who’d used drugs and the struggle he had to stay clean.
15 minutes before the flip-flop.
January 24th, 2008 at 12:30 pmWhere have you been joe?…hate radio/TV has been doing this for years! ….including your hate Democrates talk.
January 24th, 2008 at 12:30 pmJoe has been a cheerleader for the Republican party for years and Republicans have gotten into power and have stayed there by, in part, constant gay bashing.
What’s my point? I’m not sure, but Joe hasn’t exactly been helping.
January 24th, 2008 at 12:32 pmOne of the caveats about the Freedom of Speech is that sometimes you get ignorant filth like Gibson spouting off their infantile ramblings…
Off course, since he is paid to spout his ramblings, he’s not entirely covered by the Freedom of Speech as much as market share. And as we all know, Fox is all about market share and not so much about defending the Constitution…..

January 24th, 2008 at 12:40 pmGibson is just being a typical republican idiot. They hate people who use common sense rather than party propaganda, so they strike out at anyone under any curcumstances regardless if it’s a terric death of a young man who never knew they existed. These people are so low not even the dead can escape criticism and scorn. Gibson you are not only a azz and a jerk, but you are less then human. How dare you sit in your little world and attack a man and his girlfriend and child at a time like this. You are beneath contempt and should be fired for being such a moron. No one outside the narrow minded fools who watch Faux News listens to or cared about your stupid opinions.
Some day you are going to die and your rotten soul is going straight to hell, don’t pass go, go straight to hell. I can’t find words to describe how ignorant and stupid you really are. Now answer that you pinhead jerk.
January 24th, 2008 at 12:40 pmHere we go again. Another day of recycling the celebrity death story. What a nasty man that Gibson is. How could he say those things? How can we say these things. We know nothing. We can only fantasize what happened to displace whatever hostility we have for drugs, gays, republicans, democrats etc.. Speculation knows no boundaries.
January 24th, 2008 at 12:44 pmSorry, but how saying that the guy killed himself because he watched the debate and was an Edwards supporter is a comment about celebrity drug use? There are a lot more effective ways to get your point across without sounding like a callous, inhuman arsehole. John Gibson’s comments are not defensible.
January 24th, 2008 at 12:52 pmWhat’s to “get away” with? This is Fox. For them, it’s business as usual.

Whatever you may decide to do in response to this, do not follow that suggestion, don’t call in to Gibson’s show. That is precisely why he made the hateful statements in the first place, is to provoke you into doing so.

You’re going to set us in a body of water (a strait). Whereas SETTING YOU ‘STRAIGHT’ would take A LOT OF WORK, wouldn’t it, you big fat jabbering wingnut fool, that LOVES to MAKE A FOOL OF YOURSELF! ;)
January 24th, 2008 at 1:05 pmWe have already established that John Gibson is as sick as Michael Savage is.
1) He mocks a young father who tragically died suddenly.
2) Asked, “if The Times can’t take an argument with Kristol, how can it face down Al Qaeda?â€
3) Urges his white listeners to “do your duty. Make more babies.†because he is worried about in increasing Hispanic demographic in this country.
4) Said that the White House deserved a medal for outing Valerie Plame.
5) When a student at a Cleveland high school shot four people and then killed himself, Gibson said he could tell that the shooter was white, because “black shooters don’t do that; they shoot and move on.”
6) Mocked Jon Stewart for emotional remarks Stewart made immediately following 9/11.
7) Declared that declared that tuberculosis usually affects someone “from the third world†or who contracted “ooga booga feverâ€
8) Calls himself “the whitest man in America, who is the black man’s best friendâ€
9) Claimed that Barack Obama went to a fundamentalist Islamic madrassa as a child, and when CNN ran a story debunking that, claimed that the CNN reporter must have gone to the “same madrassa” and deliberately covered up extremism taught at the school.
10) Declared that North Korea conducting nuke tests was “good news” because it distracted the press from the Foley sex scandal.
11) Said while there are “black devils stalking their streets,” those protesting in support of the so-called Jena 6 only “wanna fight the white devil.”
12) Claimed that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton made “a deal with Al Qaeda” to “go easier” on terrorists if elected president.
The list goes on and on. John Gibson has always been just another shock performer masquerading as a legitimate newsman and constantly having to ratchet up his rhetoric to keep his name on the blogs. But his tone has become increasingly racist and homophobic. The fact that he’s still on Fox doesn’t speak well for Fox — in fact, it indicates that Fox apparently stands for the same things.

You are making an assumption that everybody here would support a talk-show host who cheers the death of an innocent person just because he appears on Air America — and then using your strawman to label us hypocrites.
We do not condemn John Gibson’s remarks because they come out of the mouth of an obvious racist and homophobe, or because he appears on Fox News. We condemn them because they are wrong, undeserved, and in extremely poor taste. Lionel’s remarks about Steve Irwin were also in extremely poor taste, but that’s not what this thread is about.

January 24th, 2008 at 1:28 pmI read your pathetic comments yesterday countering a commenters excellent point that military spending should be cut 25%. If it were my call, I’d place the U.S. military on a need-based status, or “reservatize†the military as our founding fathers intended. That will ultimately improve our economy.
Keep up the stupid commentary, gum, and you’ll be the next to be thrown out of here. Bart, in that case, would have company.

January 24th, 2008 at 1:29 pm#68 - a. We are not in a recession. That requires at least one quarter of negative growth. When we had a quarter of negative growth in Q3 2000, Clinton was President. But it wasn’t an issue then with your cheerleaders at ABC and CNN.

You wanted private contractors to keep their jobs, as if the federal government is some jobs program. Iraq and the U.S. war machine is the problem in this world, and the civilian counterparts are their paper-pushing enablers.
January 24th, 2008 at 1:30 pm“[To define a recession,] economists rely on the…measurements of the National Bureau of Economic Research, the official arbiter of recessions and expansions.NBER has been run since 1977 by Harvard economist Martin Feldstein, an architect of the Bush tax cut and an intellectual mentor to many prominent Republican policy-makers, including Glenn Hubbard, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers. According to NBER’s definition, the recession did not begin until after President Clinton left office….According to NBER, the economy peaked and started shrinking in March 2001, two months after the Bush presidency began. “The determination of a peak date in March is thus a determination that the expansion that began in March 1991 ended in March 2001 and a recession began in March.” So according to NBER, the most recent recession did not start during the Clinton administration.
Oops.
January 24th, 2008 at 1:32 pm#81 - apparently, you don’t understand economics - a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth (GDP). Negative job growth for a single month (that will likely be revised up) is not a recession.
Comment by Liberals Are Filled With Hate — January 24, 2008 @ 1:29 pm
Recessions are usually preceded by several quarters of slowing growth and often job losses. People FEEL the recession usually BEFORE it’s called one. Before you TRY to LECTURE on a topic, catch up to SPEED - JUNIOR! Otherwise you’ll ALWAYS LOOK DUMB in addition to BEING DUMB! ;)

January 24th, 2008 at 2:04 pmI’ve always hated the name matt. Common name for christian fratboys with few brains. Matt comes in a close second to Christopher.
