Gibson earned a [[Bachelor of Arts|Bacherlor of Arts degree]] from [[UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television|UCLA's School of Theater, Film and Television]]. He began his reporting career with ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' (1969–1972) and worked for [[Atlantic Records]] (1972–1974). Gibson worked for [[KFWB]]-AM (1974–1975) and [[KEYT-TV|KEYT]]-TV (1975–1977).

Beginning in 1992, Gibson worked as an [[NBC News]] correspondent in [[Burbank, California]]. In 1994, he became the first [[West Coast of the United States|West Coast]] correspondent for the [[NBC News#Syndicated productions|NBC News Channel]]. He covered the 1995 [[O. J. Simpson]] [[O. J.

== Gibson vs. the BBC ==
An outspoken critic of the [[BBC]], Gibson claims that the British Broadcasting Corporation is [[anti-American]]. He attacked the BBC in accusing it of having "a frothing-at-the-mouth anti-Americanism that was obsessive, irrational and dishonest"[http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds14717.html][http://www.dailytexanonline.com/media/paper410/news/2005/12/09/Opinion/Fox-News.Bastion.Of.Irrationality-1126132.shtml?norewrite&sourcedomain=www.dailytexanonline.com]. He also claimed that reporter [[Andrew Gilligan]], who was covering the [[2003 Iraq War]] for [[BBC Radio 4]] in [[Baghdad]] had "insisted on air that the Iraqi Army was heroically repulsing an incompetent American Military". {{ref|liarliar}}


Gibson joined the [[Fox News Channel]] in September 2000 as the host of the rolling news program ''Fox News Live with John Gibson'', which, in 2001, was turned into ''The Big Story''. In 2007, [[Heather Nauert]] joined ''The Big Story'' as his co-host. He also wrote the [[New York Times Bestseller|''New York Times'' bestselling]] books, ''[[Hating America: The New World Sport]]'' and ''The War on Christmas'' (referencing the [[War on Christmas|controversies of the same name]]).<ref name="foxbio"/>
Gibson's criticisms were rejected by [[Ofcom]] when it investigated viewer complaints of Gibson's item. {{ref|ofcom}} It was found that the words he attributed to Gilligan were false, and "the manner in which John Gibson delivered these lines and the fact that he indicated that Gilligan said it “on-air” gave the distinct impression that he was quoting Gilligan directly. It did not appear that he was summarising Gilligan’s reporting. Furthermore, Fox News failed to provide any evidence, except that it felt that Gilligan’s reporting of the US advance into Baghdad was incorrect, that supported this statement."


On March 12, 2008, Fox News Channel announced that ''The Big Story'' was being replaced with ''[[America's Election Headquarters]]'', a program more directly geared toward following the [[2008 United States presidential election|2008 U.S. presidential election]].<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/12/arts/12arts-FOXVOTESOUTT_BRF.html?ref=arts "Fox Votes Out the Big Story"], ''[[The New York Times]]'', March 3, 2008. Retrieved on 2008-03-12.</ref> ''The Big Story'' was not renewed after the election and was replaced with ''[[The Glenn Beck Program]]'' in January 2009. Following this cancellation, Gibson was a regular guest-panelist on Fox's late-night [[satire]] show ''[[Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld]]'', and was often the butt of jokes on episodes in which he was absent.

Gibson's criticisms were rejected by [[United Kingdom|UK]] regulator [[Ofcom]] when it investigated viewer complaints about his item. Ofcom also found that Gibson's broadcast was in violation of several UK television regulations, concluding that Gibson's commentary did not display a "respect for truth", failed to offer the BBC a chance to respond to the allegations, and was based on "false evidence."<ref>[http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/binaries/enforcement/broadcast-bulletins/pcb_11/pcb_pdf11.pdf Ofcom Programme complaints bulletin: Standards & Fairness and Privacy number 11] (pdf), June 14, 2004.</ref>
*When [[London]] was chosen to host the [[2012 Olympics]], Gibson said that he regretted that Paris had not been chosen because it would have subjected that city to the threat of terrorism. {{ref|paris}} He also has stated that no one would care if France was a victim of a terrorist attack.

==Public comments==

Following the [[2007 SuccessTech Academy shooting]], on his radio show, Gibson commented, "I knew the shooter was white. I knew he would have shot himself. [[Hip-hop]]pers don't do that.

*In his book ''The War on Christmas: How the Liberal Plot to Ban the Sacred Christian Holiday Is Worse Than You Thought'', Gibson wrote, "The wagers of this war on Christmas are a cabal of secularists, so-called humanists, trial lawyers, cultural relativists, and liberal, guilt-wracked Christians—not just Jewish people."

In a 2008 edition of his radio show, Gibson commented on actor [[Heath Ledger]]'s death the day before. He opened the segment with funeral music and played a clip of [[Jake Gyllenhaal]]'s famous line "I wish I knew how to quit you" from Ledger's film ''[[Brokeback Mountain]]''; and then said "Well, I guess he found out how to quit ''you''." Among other remarks, Gibson called Ledger a "weirdo" with "a serious [[Substance abuse|drug problem]]".<ref>[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/01/23/fox-host-john-gibson-mock_n_82962.html "Fox Host John Gibson Mocks Heath Ledger's Death"] ''[[The Huffington Post]]''.

John David Gibson (born July 25, 1946) is an American radio talk show host. As of September 2008, he hosts the syndicated radio program The John Gibson Show. He formerly co-hosted the weekday edition of The Big Story on Fox News.

Career

[edit]

Gibson earned a Bacherlor of Arts degree from UCLA's School of Theater, Film and Television. He began his reporting career with The Hollywood Reporter (1969–1972) and worked for Atlantic Records (1972–1974). Gibson worked for KFWB-AM (1974–1975) and KEYT-TV (1975–1977). At KCRA, he was a feature reporter on the Weeknight magazine show (1977–1979) and San Francisco bureau chief (1979–1989).[1]

Beginning in 1992, Gibson worked as an NBC News correspondent in Burbank, California. In 1994, he became the first West Coast correspondent for the NBC News Channel. He covered the 1995 O. J. Simpson trial for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman for NBC News Channel and Rivera Live on CNBC.[2] In 1996, he was named as daytime anchor on MSNBC, where he covered the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky scandal in 1998.[1]

Gibson joined the Fox News Channel in September 2000 as the host of the rolling news program Fox News Live with John Gibson, which, in 2001, was turned into The Big Story. In 2007, Heather Nauert joined The Big Story as his co-host. He also wrote the New York Times bestselling books, Hating America: The New World Sport and The War on Christmas (referencing the controversies of the same name).[2]

On March 12, 2008, Fox News Channel announced that The Big Story was being replaced with America's Election Headquarters, a program more directly geared toward following the 2008 U.S. presidential election.[3] The Big Story was not renewed after the election and was replaced with The Glenn Beck Program in January 2009. Following this cancellation, Gibson was a regular guest-panelist on Fox's late-night satire show Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld, and was often the butt of jokes on episodes in which he was absent.

As of September 2008, he began hosting the syndicated radio program The John Gibson Show. Initially the show was broadcast on Fox News Radio, but since 2017 it has been syndicated by the Genesis Communications Network.

Gibson vs. the BBC

[edit]

In 2004 Gibson said that the British Broadcasting Corporation was anti-American, accusing the BBC of having "a frothing-at-the-mouth anti-Americanism that was obsessive, irrational and dishonest".[4] He also claimed that reporter Andrew Gilligan, who was covering the 2003 Iraq War for BBC Radio 4 in Baghdad, had, "insisted on air that the Iraqi Army was heroically repulsing an incompetent American military".[5]

Gibson's criticisms were rejected by UK regulator Ofcom when it investigated viewer complaints about his item. Ofcom also found that Gibson's broadcast was in violation of several UK television regulations, concluding that Gibson's commentary did not display a "respect for truth", failed to offer the BBC a chance to respond to the allegations, and was based on "false evidence."[6]

Public comments

[edit]

Gibson as a commentator often attracts criticism.[7][8][9][10]

Following the 2007 SuccessTech Academy shooting, on his radio show, Gibson commented, "I knew the shooter was white. I knew he would have shot himself. Hip-hoppers don't do that. They shoot and move on to shoot again. And I could tell right away because he killed himself. Hip hoppers shooters don't do that. They shoot and move on."[11]

In a 2008 edition of his radio show, Gibson commented on actor Heath Ledger's death the day before. He opened the segment with funeral music and played a clip of Jake Gyllenhaal's famous line "I wish I knew how to quit you" from Ledger's film Brokeback Mountain; and then said "Well, I guess he found out how to quit you." Among other remarks, Gibson called Ledger a "weirdo" with "a serious drug problem".[12] The next day, he addressed outcry over his remarks by saying that they were in the context of jokes he had been making for months about Brokeback Mountain, and that "There's no point in passing up a good joke."[13] Gibson later apologized on his television and radio shows.[14][15]

In February 2009, Attorney General Eric Holder had given a speech to Justice Department employees as a part of the observance of Black History Month during which he described the United States as being a "nation of cowards" in its reluctance to discuss racial relations. Gibson criticized Holder's remarks as inappropriate. John Sanders, who at the time was technology reporter for WBAL-TV in Baltimore, then intentionally edited Gibson's remarks which had followed news reports of a monkey who had escaped from a Seattle zoo, making it appear that Gibson had compared Holder to a monkey "with a bright blue scrotum" on Fox. Sanders then posted the altered video on YouTube without a disclaimer that it was a joke.[16] Because of this, the video was widely publicized on news websites, including The Huffington Post, as if it were authentic.[16] Sanders was fired over the video, and Gibson said that the spread of the fake video has had a "personal" impact upon him.[16]
