ABC News suspended senior correspondent David Wright after he was caught on undercover film by Project Veritas admitting that the network bosses spike news that is important to voters, and that ABC is unable to provide relevant news to Americans due to their bias.
Wright, who joined ABC nearly 20 years ago, reports for "Wold News Tonight," "Good Morning America" and "Nightline."
As a national political reporter at a legacy broadcaster, Wright said he feels left behind by the new digital media.
"We live in a moment where people live in echo chambers and the truth suffers and, in an effort, to compete, we've become an echo chamber ourselves. We've been in the mainstream media we have an effort to match the zippy news cycle with responding to the latest tweet and trying to keep pace with the desperate pace of it all."
"The first story is the big story, about Trump. And it's about whatever outrageous thing he said or tweeted about, and it's about, or it's about this effort to unseat him, or it's about, you know, 'Today we found anonymous' or 'Who's he [Trump] throwing out of the White House today,' or 'Who's blowing the whistle and stabbing him [Trump] in the back?'".
"We're not disciplined enough to cut [Trump] off and we second-guess ourselves because we're sensitive to the accusation that we're in the tank for the Democrats. And so that enables them, and so we enable them. And every time we take the bait on it and that's what he wants," Wright told a Veritas operative at the Doubletree Hotel in Manchester during ABC's coverage of the first Democratic primary.
Trump's domination of the media also leads to reporters not reporting the positive stories about the president.
