Legendary sports play-by-play man Bob Costas thinks that the corporate press is simply doing “MAGA media,” leaving the news industry without a dissenting or oppositional voice.
On Monday night, Costas blasted corporate media outlets at the Mirror Awards, held in New York City. At the event, held by Syracuse University’s Newhouse School, of which Costas is an alumnus, the longtime American sportscaster received the Fred Dressler Leadership Award for making “distinct, consistent and unique contributions to the public’s understanding of the media.”
However, Costas didn’t use his speech to reflect on his years in sports media alone. Instead, he singled out ABC, CBS, and CNN for what he viewed as an abdication of their duties as watchdogs of the news during the Trump era.
Specifically, Costas blasted ABC News for settling a $15 million defamation lawsuit filed against them by the president over comments made by ABC’s This Week host George Stephanopoulos.

TDS stays with some people for life.
The little shrimp needs his MAGA hating ass kicked
They genuinely believe that news coverage is not progressive enough.
Utterly DELUSIONAL.
Isn’t it great when these celebrities open their mouths and show us how unintelligent they really are? I love when they expose their true colors.
Hes always been a talentless hack.
Costas is a moron. The far-left, America hating “media” love the MAGA. ROTFL! I wonder if he is doing recreational drugs? Either that or the boy ain’t right in the head.
It’s either dementia , stupidity, or lying.
But he eats lunch at the cool kids table.
Costas is a liar, stupid, or both. As we’ve seen with our own eyes, and as the website Newsbusters meticulously documents with articles and statistics, the MSM are overtly and overwhelmingly anti-Trump, and have been for the past 10 years.
He was always a smarmy, front running, narcissist.
Obviously, I never liked the little twit.
(That is some first class stupid)

There are always two sides. The right side and the wrong side, Bob. You are entitled to your opinion as to which side you are on, but you don’t get to dismiss the opinions of those who disagree with you - unless you want to be the ‘dictator’ that you and your fellow travelers keep accusing others of being.
