Network cites damage to 'our reputation for fairness and impartiality'

Veteran ABC News correspondent David Wright was suspended Wednesday after he was caught in a Project Veritas undercover sting declaring that he was a socialist and referring to President Trump as “this f**ing president.”

In a statement, an ABC spokesperson also said that Mr. Wright, who has worked for the network since 2000, would no longer cover political stories upon his return.

He says his network is intentionally misinforming voters during one of the most important elections in our country's history.

Didn’t David Wright play 3rd base for the Mets?

Would no longer cover political stories doesn’t sound like it’s all for show.

And if they didn’t suspend him we’d be mad at that too :)

Let’s see what happens.

I’m with you that it’s all probably theater.

Time will tell

Never heard of him but then again, ABC (the All Bolshevik Channel) is not high on my watching priority list and never has been.

Suspended for being honest. Every one of them feels the same way.

THIS is why he got suspended. They already knew of his political views, in fact, they are a prerequisite for employment.

By “political stories” they probably just mean elections. He’ll still report that “President Trump hasn’t responded well to the coronavirus!” etc. ABC will explain with a straight face that that’s not a political story.

Suspended isn’t fired.

If the network honestly felt that what he said indicated something negative about his character, they wouldn’t want him covering garden parties. They would fire him.

The President said he is way into the SWAMP.

He never knew just how deep it was.
