“Objectivity is not usually in favor in our business these days, but it is critically important. It is what we strive for each night.” Twelve years on, objectivity is still not in favor in the news business. Not even on the major networks.
Charles Gibson is loved by many, I watched him since 1987 when he took over for David Hartman on Good Morning America. He's simply the best. happy retirement
Charlie Gibson is truly missed! He have that laid-back demeanor that is unparalleled by any other journalist on television in recent years, besides from Walter Cronkite and Diane Sawyer.
@@TheLocalLtCharlie was best possible Peter Jennings replacement but now both are gone. In fact all big anchors are gone like Tom Brokaw from NBC News
Brian Williams did anchor NBC Nightly News, but he was later suspended and then fired from Nightly News due to him misrepresenting events in the Iraq War

@@TheLocalLtBrian Williams was on as replacement for Tom Brokaw when he was off only or at weekends. The heavy hitters were Peter Jennings , Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather ! Charlie Gibson for few years took on evenings news and he did an excellent job! The Only Jennings replacement I could think of
This was the end of real journalism on ABC. Jennings and Gibson are some of the best journalists to ever live. Gibson claims he left because he saw the direction ABC News was headed in, with the light fluff social media-type stories. And what a shame it has become. Jennings would be appalled and Gibson has said he is appalled.
No it wasn't. Social Media is a growing part of the news, and it and the so called "light fluff" content you despise are a key and important part of it too, like it or not. Jennings, Gibson, and the past news anchors would be proud of how ABC News has grown. Quit whining about what real and what's not. And besides just to add that is not why he left.
I, personally, which I know no one cares what I think, but I loved "Charlie" Gibson. I always thought he was professional as well as heartwarming. He was in my Living Room every morning. God Bless.
Charles Gibson. Let me tell you. I grew up watching you. I miss you. Honest true reporter here. Just not the same at night ever since. Hope retirement is doing you much deserving fun!
I was going through u tube wondering what ever happened to a great reporter Charlie Gibson enjoyed watching his farewell I remembered always watching him giving the nightly news. Great job,and reporter.
I am very happy that Charlie had so many well wishers. I imagine when I retire, in about 8 years, there will be cake in the break room, about 20 well wishers, and the door will close behind me.
Charlie, I want to say THANK YOU for being a mentor to me as we never met but you were one of the people who led me into being a journalist and that is something I will NEVER be able to repay you back for! Hope you are having fun in your retirement!
Charlie Gibson, we being seen you on television. For decades, you being a constant work on television with issues that important to you. Happy retirement!
Like rather’s last broadcast just a few yrs before where staff gathered around the anchor, Charlie didn’t spend that much time in the evening role but he surely delivered quality work that was demanded after Peter’s death
Guy spent 20 years building Good Morning America into a legit rival to the Today show. At this point, he has no need to touch a gig like that trash on CBS with a 10 foot pole
Charlie interned at WLVA, now WSET in Lynchburg, Virginia. The tradition continues, with Mona Kosar Abdi, who was WSET's weekend anchor. Now she's the anchor of World News Now.
After I watched that closing segment long time ago on tv, the snow storm blizzard came to NY and when it was over, I couldn't return back to work because of the snow, so because of that, I told my temporary boss that I won't be returning back to work because of Diane Sawyer taking over as wnt anchor. I don't know why I said that. It was a thought in my mind. When I recently told that to my retired boss, she thought I was talking about Barbara Walters. It was kind of rough
Wow. Looking at today, some of these people (in Charlie's farewell video) have died, been arrested or had articles about questionable things they said, or....simply have been getting their hair color naturally changed to gray.... But we should never take reporters like Mr. Gibson for granted anymore. WE NEED these journalists again!
I liked Charlie but hated to see the slithering snakes in the swamp thanking him like they really appreciated him. True, objective journalism is extinct in America! It is now just people leading a narrative, telling people how to think. I miss the real America from when I was a child. The art of objective journalism is dead.

Peter Jennings and Charles Gibson were the best journalists at ABC. Nobody else can beat them.
the good old days
I miss Peter Jennings.
I agree with you, John!
Alot could, But Peter, oh peter. He's irreplaceable.
Stevie yup
When five U. S. Presidents can say great things about a journalist. Charles Gibson is a great example of what we are sorely missing today.
We need and can get that back!
"Charlie, I've never known whether you are Republican, Democrat, Libertarian or Vegetarian." Sen. McCain's humor was on par. =)
That is what made Sen McCain was his Banter and Sense of Humor!
“Objectivity is not usually in favor in our business these days, but it is critically important. It is what we strive for each night.”
Twelve years on, objectivity is still not in favor in the news business. Not even on the major networks.
When he left I was nine. Even then I knew he was the best and I still firmly believe that.
Charlie, I missed from the day you left.
Charles Gibson is loved by many, I watched him since 1987 when he took over for David Hartman on Good Morning America. He's simply the best. happy retirement
mixon270 True dat!
Bruce Jackstone he's the same as age Tom Brokaw you know?
@@hollypietrzak5214 Who cares? Stop obessing over Tom.
Stevie oh shut up already?
@@hollypietrzak5214 Then stop it.
Charlie Gibson is truly missed! He have that laid-back demeanor that is unparalleled by any other journalist on television in recent years, besides from Walter Cronkite and Diane Sawyer.
Peter Jennings?
He retired December 2009. He was a good anchor GMA host. I miss him on GMA
This was Peter Jennings' show, it will always be his, no one else can hold a candle to Peter
A lot could actually.
Yes and Charlie realized this, which is why he kept the show largely in Peter’s image
@@TheLocalLtCharlie was best possible Peter Jennings replacement but now both are gone. In fact all big anchors are gone like Tom Brokaw from NBC News
What happened to the network TV media? Charlie, Jennings, Brokaw, Rather, Andy Rooney, Cronkite, even Brian Williams. It's long gone.
Brian Williams did anchor NBC Nightly News, but he was later suspended and then fired from Nightly News due to him misrepresenting events in the Iraq War
Thanks social media, where anything goes !

Charles Gibson was the only news anchor I would turn my TV on to watch. Hope he is enjoying his life.
Charles Gibson is the G.O.A.T. hard to believe that he'll be 80 years old on March 9
Charles Gibson had such a reassuring voice
A very much deserved send off going to miss you Charlie

amlnet49 It's up to us to lead by example.
amlnet49 agreed the old school journalists was tactful and respectful
@Hunter Michaelson ikr
Charlie Gibson was the same age as Tom brokaw back then?

I'm gonna cry. Charlie kept me in the loop even in middle school and it's not the same
Thanks for all the great news Charlie.
see you soon
Charlie Gibson was a funny guy on Good Morning America always had that bright smile.
ABC News has always been the one I watch. David is great, but I still miss Peter and Charlie!
I liked Charlie too! Time to live free and do whatever you choose to do.....Good Luck and God Bless!
John McCain, George HW and Barbara Bush R.I.P

Charles Gibson. Let me tell you. I grew up watching you. I miss you. Honest true reporter here. Just not the same at night ever since. Hope retirement is doing you much deserving fun!
Still miss Charlie 😢
Charles Gibson was one of the best anchors and interviewers i know, also with Peter. Presidents likes him everytime he interview him.
I was going through u tube wondering what ever happened to a great reporter Charlie Gibson enjoyed watching his farewell I remembered always watching him giving the nightly news. Great job,and reporter.
L. Frances Gonzalez I remember seeing Charles Gibson doing the abc special report on Tim russerts death before?
I. Do. Hope. He. Comes. Back. Somehow
When news was honest and delivered with class.
Charlie was one of my favorite News Anchors on World News Tonight and GMA
I am very happy that Charlie had so many well wishers. I imagine when I retire, in about 8 years, there will be cake in the break room, about 20 well wishers, and the door will close behind me.
Wilbur Snaffel You’ll go out in style.
For now,It's David Muir U watch!!!!
After Jennings And Gibson who took on Jennings role retirement ABC news died with it
He was a memorable and great orator of the news and I enjoyed watching him.
Muito bom.Parabens Charlie, nao sabia disto.
Excelente atitude, sem comentarios.
great man and i great broadcaster
Indeed!
He's the same age as Tom Brokaw you know?
@@hollypietrzak5214 No one cares!
Stevie shut up already you?
@@hollypietrzak5214 No thanks.
Charlie, I want to say THANK YOU for being a mentor to me as we never met but you were one of the people who led me into being a journalist and that is something I will NEVER be able to repay you back for! Hope you are having fun in your retirement!
That is end of an era, of excellent reporting, quality people, with professionalism.
Hope Charlie is doing well, and having a good time. 👍👍.
Charlie was one of the best with Peter Jennings.
I loved him.
Charlie Gibson, we being seen you on television. For decades, you being a constant work on television with issues that important to you. Happy retirement!
Best anchor to do this show. Nobody will replace him.
Never knew he left until I saw him on GMA this morning still looks great even with a head full of silvers
Like rather’s last broadcast just a few yrs before where staff gathered around the anchor, Charlie didn’t spend that much time in the evening role but he surely delivered quality work that was demanded after Peter’s death
Good to see even the competitors from CBS and NBC. What an honor!
I love you Charlie!
Hahah, back when I was a kiddo, I used to have a crush on Joan Lunden.
David Muir just right now is in!
Frank Reynolds was my favorite! When I was 15 yrs old I was in love with Frank!
does anyone here think he would be a perfect fit for CBS This Morning?
Guy spent 20 years building Good Morning America into a legit rival to the Today show. At this point, he has no need to touch a gig like that trash on CBS with a 10 foot pole
Chuck Dowdle's retirement was on the 5 & 6 O'Clock News in Atlanta, Georgia's ABC affiliate WSB-TV. But now Charlie Gibson's retirement in 2009
Charlie interned at WLVA, now WSET in Lynchburg, Virginia. The tradition continues, with Mona Kosar Abdi, who was WSET's weekend anchor. Now she's the anchor of World News Now.
5:01 - who knew that David Muir would succeed Diane Sawyer?
My 2nd favorite next to Peter jennings
Will miss you!lol
I just got the clap.
1:53 rip George H.W. Bush!😖😔
2:12 rip John McCain!😢😭
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I knew that when he retired there would never be anyone else like him, but I wouldn't have thought that those who succeeded him would be so terrible
David Muir is far from terrible.
After I watched that closing segment long time ago on tv, the snow storm blizzard came to NY and when it was over, I couldn't return back to work because of the snow, so because of that, I told my temporary boss that I won't be returning back to work because of Diane Sawyer taking over as wnt anchor.

@randalusa Charlie is NOT clueless.
Why do I feel like I am listening to Will McAvoy when Charlie said his goodbyes. Man, why did The Newsroom have to go off air!
4:37
5:01 David Muir
Boy....sure wished ABC had the same values today as they did when Charles Gibson left. Now it's TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP........
Obama with no gray hair holy sh..

Well diane sawyer was never that good and did not last as long
U are right.She was just right now replaced by David Muir.U get to watch him for now.
Yes, she was great.
Where. Is. He. Now? Is. He. Okay? And. What. Is. He. Doing?
Saw him on TV not long ago and he did a podcast with his daughter. He seemed fine.
I liked Charlie but hated to see the slithering snakes in the swamp thanking him like they really appreciated him. True, objective journalism is extinct in America! It is now just people leading a narrative, telling people how to think. I miss the real America from when I was a child. The art of objective journalism is dead.
All the negative comment people get a life.
Is Charlie Gibson dead ? Is Hartman dead ?
Clapping for himself? - very poor taste
Bye bye to another leftist "objective" reporter
Cry about it. Hes better then everyone at Fox News.
Your part of the problem
