John Gibson is the host of the week day show "Big Story " on FOX News. He was born in 1946 and has been featured on numerous media outlets including MSNBC.

An outspoken critic of the BBC, Gibson claims that the broadcasting corporation is Anti-American. He attacked the BBC in accusing it of having "a frothing-at-the-mouth anti-Americanism that was obsessive, irrational and dishonest". He also claimed that reporter Andrew Gilligan, who was covering the 2003 Iraq War for BBC Radio 4 in Baghdad had "insisted on air that the Iraqi Army was heroically repulsing an incompetent American Military".

Gibson's criticisms were roundly rejected and severely criticised by Ofcom when it investigated viewer complaints of Gibson's item. [2] It was found that the words he attributed to Gilligan were false, and "the manner in which John Gibson delivered these lines and the fact that he indicated that Gilligan said it “on-air” gave the distinct impression that he was quoting Gilligan directly. It did not appear that he was summarising Gilligan’s reporting. Furthermore, Fox News failed to provide any evidence, except that it felt that Gilligan’s reporting of the US advance into Baghdad was incorrect, that supported this statement."
