FOX News, Due to the unfortunate comments that John Gibson made regarding the untimely passing of Mr. Heath Ledger we the undersigned are asking Fox News to alleviate Mr. Gibson of his position. Mocking the recent death of another human being is both reprehensible and inexcusable. Beyond his mockery of Ledger\'s role in Brokeback Mountain, Gibson called the actor a \"weirdo\" with \"a serious drug problem,\" and callously speculated on the reasons Ledger might have committed suicide. Gibson had previously mocked Brokeback Mountain

I have sent a formal request for comment to the Fox News media relations department regarding their internal conduct standards. The lack of a direct acknowledgment so far suggests they are monitoring our progress. I am drafting a follow up letter to their executive leadership to emphasize the breach of editorial accountability.

The scale of this response is sufficient to escalate our formal request to the Fox News executive offices. We are now finalizing the documentation of these grievances to ensure the network addresses these specific professional failures directly.

Absolute trash. How can someone get paid to sit on tv and mock a dead man? Get him off the air now.

Not a fan of his anyway but this is a new low even for him. keep your personal opinions to yourself and show some basic decency.
