[edit] Health

"Gibson also has a mild form of Parkinson's Disease, which may be noted during his broadcasts as subtle shuffles of his body and in most cases his head will shift side to side"

Please source this statement.Burghboy80 10:54, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

A

good "He is the most favorable choice because of his experience." -- most favorable choice for what? 69.136.90.164 02:08, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

That phrasing is also awkward, perhaps "he is the favored choice"? -Fsotrain09 19:55, 23 May 2006 (UTC)


Does anyone know if there is something wrong with Charles Gibson? Last night after the President's speech Gibson didn't seem like himself but I have not heard anything to the contrary. He's an outstanding reporter and a class act.

[edit] ultimatum?

"Gibson answered... with an ultimatum: Gibson would be given the sole anchor position through the 2008 elections or he would quit the network."

What is the source of this information? Such a serious accusation attacks the integrity of Gibson and ABC News. Thus, the ultimatum statement must be cited to conform to NPOV. If no citation is added in the next couple of days, I am going to remove the statement from the article. Since I get most of my news from PBS/NPR, I don't have any personal motivations in this matter. I just think that a citation is needed for such a serious statement.

[edit] substantation ?

"Gibson hosted what may be the last democratic primary debate on April 16th, 2008. It was an unmitigated disaster with questions that did not touch on actual issues, but instead catered to tabloid journalism. Millions of Americans have since written to ABC News asking for an apology from Mr. Gibson. "

Is there a link to support this assertion?
