From Think Progress

As ThinkProgress has documented, the death of Anna Nicole Smith was a feeding frenzy for the national media. While many cable news shows have moved on to other stories, Fox News host John Gibson remains fixated on the late Playboy playmate. Every day since Smith’s death on Feb. 8, Gibson has devoted significant segments of his show, The Big Story with John Gibson, to coverage of the story.

On his radio show on Friday, Gibson attempted to defend his incessant coverage of the story. He accused reporters — such as CNN’s Anderson Cooper — of news-guy snobbery and attacked them for covering the Iraq war. He said, Oh, there’s a war on, there’s a war on. Maybe, just maybe, people are a little weary, Mr. Cooper, of your war coverage, and they’d like a little something else.
