Perez Hilton never lets facts and fairness get in the way of a good story.

“There is no love for Diane Sawyer coming from Charlie Gibson,” Perez reports (and by “reports,” we mean “copies from the New York Post“).

The blogger cites “insiders” as saying Gibson “dislikes Diane BIG TIME,” repeating the Post’s source’s claim that “Charlie frequently gives Diane ‘the stink eye’ as well as ‘bad-mouths her openly and often.’”

“How very 6th grade of him!” scolds the man pictured here.

6th grade? Gossip Cop thinks that places Gibson about five grades ahead of Perez when it comes to reporting.

In addition to saying Gibson “isn’t too thrilled that Diane will be taking his coveted position at ABC Nightly News” (if you’re going to copy, Perez, at least get the name of the show – “World News Tonight” – right), Perez only reprints some of the quotes from the Post item – entirely leaving out Gibson’s side of the story, as well as ABC’s.

What you missed is Gibson telling the Post, “I have tremendous respect and fondness for Diane,” adding that the two will be having lunch this week.

Perez, who’s blocked us on Twitter because we value accurate reporting, probably should have at least acknowledged the other half of the story, which includes various parties referring to the Gibson-Sawyer rumors as “bull[bleep]” and “silly.”

“Silly.” Like Perez’s reporting.
