Posted by Olog-hai on Wed Feb 26 11:20:41 2020 Washington Post tries so hard to discredit, but looks dishonest while doing so.

Journalists are allowed to have personal political opinions, expressed in private, which is where he thought he was.I suspect he got suspended for his opinions of his employer. |

I agree. A journalist's right to their own personal, private opinions does not end when that reporter signs on with a news agency.This does not appear to be a violation of any ethics or conduct clauses that would normally be included in a contract with a television network. ABC is likely on shaky ground in suspending their journalist here. Sting operations carried out by conservatives aren't grounds for off-the-clock discipline. |

ABC likely was also alarmed at Wright’s criticism of ABC News, which is owned by the Disney Co. At another point, he raises another longstanding critique of ABC News — that it blends news with promotion of Disney-owned movies and TV programs.Thereby breaching the wall between editorial and corporate. |

You need to use your brain. Why didn't the Washington Post put emphasis on that, instead of going after Trump and admitting to be a socialist? |

You'd better not, because he's FOS. Not only does the WaPo headline contradict his pontificating, but so does the ABC News statement concerning Wright:Any action that damages our reputation for fairness and impartiality or gives the appearance of compromising it harms ABC News and the individuals involved. David Wright has been suspended, and to avoid any possible appearance of bias, he will be reassigned away from political coverage when he returns.Nothing about his feelings about ABC or Disney. |

His comments about Disney ("Wright: “You Can’t Watch ‘Good Morning America’ Without a Disney Princess or a Marvel Avenger Appearing.”) are what did him in. But that's even less principled than claiming he was suspended for bias, so that's what they're going with.The full transcript. |

Alright, after a decade of distrusting the MSM on virtually everything, *now* is the time you take their word on something? He disparaged cross-promotion between Disney (Princesses and Avengers) and GMA. Disney fired popular actors from LOST over things unrelated to their on-screen performance, this is par for the course. |

Alright, after a decade of distrusting the MSM on virtually everything, now is the time you take their word on something?That's a desperate kind of way to take AlM's word on something, and no, it's not a contest between the two as to which is least honest. The "MSM" here has their backs against the wall anyhow, reacting to the notion of them being "biased", lol, so their hand is shown too quickly. |

I argued with a far left co-worker today, he said "this is bullshit, everyone knows the media has bias"... I'm like "no, we know because we follow this stuff, but a good chunk of America still thinks they're getting the unvarnished truth". |

Far left? He wants the entire Manifesto with the Ten Planks implemented? Wow.It's certainly true that many are unaware of the media's bias. |
