ABC News anchor David Muir faces backlash for his reporting
The popular news anchor recently was reporting from on-field covering the deadly wildfires in Los Angeles.
During his report, David Muir was sporting a yellow fire jacket, with the network’s name engraved on it. However, what caught viewers’ attention was the clamps behind his jacket, as he turned around for viewers to look at the current condition on-field. Generally, clamps are used to tighten a loose-fitting clothing item.
However, Muir’s fashion disaster being spotted amid a serious situation, where individuals were dying, was something that led to viewers criticizing him. Many took to social media to voice their opinions about him caring more about his appearance rather than the disaster around.
Others bombarded the ABC News anchor with several negative comments, also calling him “pathetic” and “narcissistic.” This embarrassing situation involving David Muir has led to many discussions on the internet. Nonetheless, the anchor hasn’t addressed the backlash, as of now. (via New York Post) It’s not the first time he has been subjected to criticism.
A few months back, there were also rumors about Muir getting fired from ABC, which turned out to be false. They emerged from social media pages, suggesting that he had been a “disgrace to (his) profession,” and therefore, had been let go. Additionally, the news anchor has often been targeted for his political views.
David Muir has been associated with ABC News since 2003. He was initially an anchor for World News Now. However, over the years, he made a name for himself in the broadcasting industry, through news reporting and moderating political debates.
