ABC Suspends Socialist For "Bias" After Project Veritas Video

What's the point of the suspension? Is the journalist supposed to like Disney more and socialism less as a result of the suspension?

Did he even know he was being recorded? If not doesn't ABC have a problem there?

Good thing the bosses fired this guy for his opinions, we have too much freedom here

So does Project Veritas want us to believe this guy as a reliable source, or disregard him completely as a member of the mainstream media (as per their implied point)? They can't have it both ways, though they'll certainly try.

Can you say Fascism!. This is so messed up. What about freedom of speech!.

David Wright for the win. 👊

O’Queef’s biggest sin is using open inverted commas at the end of quotes. That and everything else he’s ever done.

I don't understand how a literal fraudulent company keeps managing to affect the media so effectively.

David Wright should sue both ABC and project veritas.

You know it's the professional work of rightwing wing nuts when they transcribe "are supposed to" as "are suppose to."

You say suspends. I heard he was fired. Couldn't he sue them for wrongful termination? Or can I now fire an employee if I find out they voted for Bloomberg? Because this is effectively firing the guy for his political leanings.

Don't worry, I'm sure all those Free Speech Warriors will be showing solidarity with this guy. Any minute now.

Lawrence O’Donnell is a professed Socialist. Is this an expose ????

Edward R. Murrow said just about the same things over 50 years ago in a speech to his own colleagues???? Really????

Smart people have got to make it “ Hard out here fo’ a pimp” like O’ Keefe

"It's a media-o-poly, a media-o-poly...

The whole media is controlled by a few corporations,
Thanks to de-regulation by the FCC!

"You mean Disney, Fox, Westinghouse and good ol' GE?"

"They own networks from CBS to CNBC..."

They can use it to say, whatever they please,
And put down the opinion of anyone who disagrees....."

Wright's great sin is that he normalizes the boogeyman that they intend to use against Sanders: socialism. The MSM can't wait to run all of those ads and the $$$ they'll generate. But, who would watch those ads, let alone care, if ABC's own reporters self identify as socialist--let alone democratic socialists??? And that is why ABC took the action it did. You can't manufacture consent around this boogeyman if your own reporters are manufacturing dissent from that position.

Damn it's seems veritas was really clutching at straws here and unfortunately it worked-im with Sam and Michael, there really should be a reinstatement campaign

Good Night and Good Luck!

That reporter deserves a world famous podcast! Get him on Rogan!

How many people have to be ruined by project Veritas before folks on the right wake up to their shitty shtick

Man, wait until ABC finds out how biased their other journalists are against left-wing policies.

So who is the first of the “free speech” brigade to defend this guy?

ABC suspended reporter for reporting the truth.

Pretty sure it’s the Disney princess and avenger comment that got him.

in order to prevent being seen as biased, we should suspend a reporter with an opinion we don't like.

I’m hoping someone in the comment section sees my comment with some sort of expertise in law because the way I see this is it’s discrimination to fire someone based on their political beliefs just like it would be discrimination to fire someone based on their religious beliefs. Is this the case or am I off base?

The corporate media did not create themselves, they are a manifestation of you and me.

This is literally an example of "wrongthink", as it's being enforced by capitalists.
A perfect example of the double standard the right wing holds.

ABC News is Fox news with cat videos

Limiting evidence to your side of any argument isn't by any definition a representation of the truth, Veritas.

The existence of Fox News should be reason enough to never take O'Queef seriously. Also, he's been paid directly by the Trump campaign, per FEC filings.

O'Keefe not being in jail is really f*cked.

It's another purge by a corrupt government

If he said all of this on air then maybe suspend him but being secretly recorded at a cocktail party where you have a reasonable right to privacy is absurd.

having a preference for socialism doesnt make you biased. using your position to promote or aid a particular candidate would be biased. how stupid this is by ABC.

I'm actually glad to hear this because I had heard on another progressive news source that he had been fired.

If ABC had any integrity or backbone at all they would respond to this not by caving to this Koch brother funded mosquito but with actual journalism. What's good for the goose...
Do an exposé on O'Keefe and his so called "journalism." A beat by beat rundown of his greatest hits/hit jobs. The smearing of ACORN, breaking into a senator's office etc, etc. Then invite him to an interview that would be conducted by David Wright, the reporter he smeared and ask O'Keefe what is exactly he thinks his "reporting" accomplished.

TYT should hire this guy

I personally think that guy got fired for "swearing too much" in that video; like really man?! DUDE!!! It's not like it's on national television!

I find it so funny that Americans seem to think that socialism is a rude word.haha

Only to an idiot is this common knowledge shocking.

Where's the lie?

He got suspended for talkin shit about his boss'. What's the problem with you communists?

Talk about a bunch of ignorant socialist lol. You completely miss the point that he was exposing corruption and bias with ABC and most other MSM which is and should be illegal. Media is meant to be FAIR AND BALANCED 🤦‍♂️ meaning you tell both sides of a story.. but can't expect the left from undersrand the basic reason for this

Oh look the left believes you should be allowed to have an opinion outside of work (i.e saying anything on social media and getting fired for having said opinion).

SOCIALISM FOR THE PEOPLE, CAPITALISM
FOR THEM,THAT HAVE A LOT MONEY.BELIEVE ME,I WAS LIVING IN CUBA,
THE GOVERMENT ARE LIVING HOW RICHER AND THE PEOPLE WITH NOTHING.
FOR SOCIALISM YOU VOTE ONE TIME,THEN ALL IT IS MISERIES.
SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH.

Project Veritas breaks big big stories... Majority Report covers Dave Rubin... poorly and predictably and boringly

Your an idiot abandoned your brain stupid
