John Gibson Public comments
Gibson as a commentator often attracts criticism. Following the 2007 SuccessTech Academy shooting in Cleveland, Ohio, 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.” 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; he 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”. The next day, he addressed the 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.”
Gibson later apologized on his television and radio shows.
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. Because of this, the video was widely publicized on news websites, including liberal The Huffington Post, as if it were authentic. Sanders was fired over the video, and Gibson said that the spread of the fake video has had a “personal” impact upon him.
