“Objectivity is not usually in favor in our business these days, but it is critically important. It is what we strive for each night.” Twelve years on, objectivity is still not in favor in the news business. Not even on the major networks.
Charles Gibson is loved by many, I watched him since 1987 when he took over for David Hartman on Good Morning America. He's simply the best. happy retirement
Charlie Gibson is truly missed! He have that laid-back demeanor that is unparalleled by any other journalist on television in recent years, besides from Walter Cronkite and Diane Sawyer.
@@TheLocalLtCharlie was best possible Peter Jennings replacement but now both are gone. In fact all big anchors are gone like Tom Brokaw from NBC News
Brian Williams did anchor NBC Nightly News, but he was later suspended and then fired from Nightly News due to him misrepresenting events in the Iraq War
@@princepond1633it was due to misrepresenting his own accounts of an event in Afghanistan, saying he survived the shootdown of a helicopter that in reality he was never on
@@TheLocalLtBrian Williams was on as replacement for Tom Brokaw when he was off only or at weekends. The heavy hitters were Peter Jennings , Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather ! Charlie Gibson for few years took on evenings news and he did an excellent job! The Only Jennings replacement I could think of
I, personally, which I know no one cares what I think, but I loved "Charlie" Gibson. I always thought he was professional as well as heartwarming. He was in my Living Room every morning. God Bless.
Charles Gibson. Let me tell you. I grew up watching you. I miss you. Honest true reporter here. Just not the same at night ever since. Hope retirement is doing you much deserving fun!
I was going through u tube wondering what ever happened to a great reporter Charlie Gibson enjoyed watching his farewell I remembered always watching him giving the nightly news. Great job,and reporter.
Charlie Gibson, we being seen you on television. For decades, you being a constant work on television with issues that important to you. Happy retirement!
Charlie, I want to say THANK YOU for being a mentor to me as we never met but you were one of the people who led me into being a journalist and that is something I will NEVER be able to repay you back for! Hope you are having fun in your retirement!
This was the end of real journalism on ABC. Jennings and Gibson are some of the best journalists to ever live. Gibson claims he left because he saw the direction ABC News was headed in, with the light fluff social media-type stories. And what a shame it has become. Jennings would be appalled and Gibson has said he is appalled.
No it wasn't. Social Media is a growing part of the news, and it and the so called "light fluff" content you despise are a key and important part of it too, like it or not. Jennings, Gibson, and the past news anchors would be proud of how ABC News has grown. Quit whining about what real and what's not. And besides just to add that is not why he left.
I am very happy that Charlie had so many well wishers. I imagine when I retire, in about 8 years, there will be cake in the break room, about 20 well wishers, and the door will close behind me.
Like rather’s last broadcast just a few yrs before where staff gathered around the anchor, Charlie didn’t spend that much time in the evening role but he surely delivered quality work that was demanded after Peter’s death
Charlie interned at WLVA, now WSET in Lynchburg, Virginia. The tradition continues, with Mona Kosar Abdi, who was WSET's weekend anchor. Now she's the anchor of World News Now.
Guy spent 20 years building Good Morning America into a legit rival to the Today show. At this point, he has no need to touch a gig like that trash on CBS with a 10 foot pole
After I watched that closing segment long time ago on tv, the snow storm blizzard came to NY and when it was over, I couldn't return back to work because of the snow, so because of that, I told my temporary boss that I won't be returning back to work because of Diane Sawyer taking over as wnt anchor. I don't know why I said that. It was a thought in my mind. When I recently told that to my retired boss, she thought I was talking about Barbara Walters. It was kind of rough
Wow. Looking at today, some of these people (in Charlie's farewell video) have died, been arrested or had articles about questionable things they said, or....simply have been getting their hair color naturally changed to gray.... But we should never take reporters like Mr. Gibson for granted anymore. WE NEED these journalists again!
I liked Charlie but hated to see the slithering snakes in the swamp thanking him like they really appreciated him. True, objective journalism is extinct in America! It is now just people leading a narrative, telling people how to think. I miss the real America from when I was a child. The art of objective journalism is dead.
