David Muir

[George K]

SNL did a skit on the debates last year - "Is it handsome in here, or is it just me?"

I wonder if there's a different explanation:

[Doctor Phibes]

Megyn Kelly's got a bit of a cheek complaining about this.

Incidentally, I know she's got a bit of a cheek because she shows it every time she crosses her legs.

[George K]

Yeah, it's petty, I agree.

I wonder, did the jacket come with the "ABC News" logo, or did they paste it on?

It's not the pettiness so much as the hypocrisy that struck me.

Or maybe she sees herself as a poor innocent victim of the patriarchy having to dress up like that. And I use the term 'poor' in it's loosest possible context.

Hard to tell. I'd imagine they have a supply of high visibility jackets with the ABC logo already on them. That being said, using clothespins like that is really GEIGH

I disagree. She's a video personality with a very popular show on YouTube. It's part of her job to look good. Just as David Muir sits behind a desk, with a nice suit and necktie, looking ever so slightly askance at the camera. It's his job to look good as well,

Now, when you're at the site of natural (?) disaster, "looking good," should be far far down the list of tings to consider. Glad that someone found devices to help with his vanity.

I had no idea who that was until this thread.

It occurs to me I can’t name any prime time anchor. Though maybe I’d recognize a name if I saw a list.

I thought this was going to be a thread pertaining to Muir the naturalist and something to do with the fires.

[jon-nyc]

Also in his defense, it was probably his makeup assistant that did it, not at his request. It’s what they do.

Don't forget reading a script.

Look good and read words. That's journalism these days.

And be just like everyone else.

Hey, at least he didn't fart during the serious broadcast.

He moderated the presidential debate in the presidential campaign you just lived through.

[Renauda]

Is that why she’s allegedly so popular?

I wasn’t aware of the attraction of flatulence permeating US TV media.

[89th]

Here's how it's done. No logo, no clothespins, and I like this guy's reporting style btw.
