ABC Snooze Anchor Charlie Gibson Sticks To Real, Unfunny Broadcast

Remember the other day when we told you a long, and slightly boring story about how Stephen Colbert broke his wrist then turned it into a drawn out pseudo-feud with Brian Williams? Well, in his new perch at the NYT (”All the news that’s fit to print…eventually”) Brian Stelter is on hand to breathe new life into the already week-old piece. And he’s armed with a sort of stupid quote from the ubiquitous HuffPo editor Rachel Sklar, and this poignant observation about broadcast news.

Brian Williams, the “NBC Nightly News” anchor, and Katie Couric, the “CBS Evening News” anchor, both played along. But Charles Gibson, anchor of ABC’s “World News,” did not, and some media observers interpreted his recalcitrance as a statement that real news shows are not to be conflated with parodies.

Wait, they’re not? Well, damn! That notorious prankster Walter Cronkite must be turning over in his grave right about now.
