David Muir’s Firefighter Barbie outfit wasn’t the first or most obvious indication that the institution he represents is fake news
There’s nothing surprising about the fact that ABC’s resident Captain Hammer wannabe uses clothespins to nip the waist of his perfectly clean firefighter jacket like a department store mannequin — or that he would take the time to do so while reporting on devastating fires in Los Angeles. What’s surprising is that anyone would expect any different from David Muir.
If this is the first you’re hearing of clothespin-gate, just watch this:
People do all kinds of things on television to look better for the cameras, most of which is unobjectionable. (Please, never stop wearing makeup, Joy Behar.) Sure, Muir playing dress-up and pinning it to show off his hourglass figure is a little act of vanity that makes him and his network look a bit like a fraud. But that wasn’t the first or most obvious clue.
Like every other entity in politics, the media have their own agendas, and it just so happens that the vast majority of them align with the interests of the Democrat Party. For the vast majority of that vast majority, the “news” is just performative theater they deliver to advance their interests.
Hate Trump and want to make your viewers hate him too? Yell through the television about how he’s literally Hitler and a threat to democracy and call it “analysis.” (Just be ready to show up on “literal Hitler’s” doorstep to make amends after he wins the election anyway.)
Trump’s appearance on the political scene was clarifying because it made journalists so angry, they dropped the pretense of “objectivity.” Margaret Sullivan,...

Because it’s supposed to fool you.
I had no idea Muir fought fires as a side gig.
I get the idea of ragging on him but beating him for wearing a high viz nomex shirt in a wildfire site is pathetic. It is a safety thing in case the scene goes south and he can be found by his team or others. It’s like the press wearing body armor in a combat zone. Better safe than sorry.
Even I kept my wildland fire shirt for when I chainsaw at home. It’s hot to use with the chaps and redwing boots (sorry never spurted for whites)but I’m going to be safe.
He is known as David Manure around here.
The wife knows that if his face hits the screen because he comes on after something she was watching, that the channel MUST be changed soonest.
Lol, bookmark
What is this “ABC” that you speak of? Muir? Never heard of him. /s
Yep Davey, you’re the victim of a ‘fact check’ by clothespins. A godforsaken idiot.
HE IS GAY...GOD ONLY KNOWS what else he does.
It’s not really because he’s wearing the safety jacket it’s because he has clothes pins in the back holding it tight, I guess to show his physique.
Where is Brian Williams? You know that he is there somewhere, battling that fire.
Ohhh... at a Village People audition.
What a loser.
Why are the anchors all gay?
This guy on ABC.
Anderson Cooper.
PBS black guy.
Can we talk about the over representation of homosexuals in the media?
That is such a classic.
Does it matter? Gotta love a man in a uniform. He looks simply marvelous and isn't that all that really counts?
“Why are the anchors all gay?
...
Anderson Cooper.”
I recently saw him interviewing Newsom. I didn’t recognize him at first. I thought he was a girl! Honest.
He has to look svelte for his fans.
David Muir is such a complete tool. ABC is desperately trying to turn him into something with gravitas and it just ain’t working.
