In a recent clandestine video released by James O'Keefe's O'Keefe Media Group (OMG), Nick Cirone, a producer for ABC's "Good Morning America," was recorded admitting that the show's selection of stories and contributors is influenced by their left-leaning political biases.
"Good Morning America," one of the most popular morning news shows in the United States, recently topped the charts for total viewership and was the only morning news broadcast to increase its audience on a week-to-week basis, as reported by ABC News.
Caught on camera during a dinner date with an undercover journalist from OMG, Cirone, who is responsible for segment production and booking on the show, discussed the editorial bias of "Good Morning America." He stated, The truth, very overwhelmingly, has a liberal bias. Despite asserting that the show's news coverage is non-partisan, he conceded a propensity to cover positive stories about President Joe Biden while refraining from explicit endorsements.
When probed about whether the show promotes stories or segments critical of former President Donald Trump, Cirone responded that such narratives are self-evident and do not necessitate additional spin or commentary from Good Morning America. Are we presenting it in a factual way? And again, sometimes the truth has a very clear slant in one direction, he claimed.
Cirone confessed that guests or contributors are often selected because they can articulate more pointed criticism of Trump than the show itself. He confirmed that part of his role involves choosing guests who are likely to criticize Trump.
In response to the undercover OMG journalist's question, So what Im hearing is that you can pick certain guests to come onto the show that will specifically highlight how sh*tty Trump is, Cirone nodded and replied, Thats my job in a lot of cases.
Cirone also made disparaging comments about Trump supporters and right-wing voters, describing them as "not based in reality for the most part," and characterizing them as motivated by "ideological dogma," "bigotry," "hatred," and "ignorance." He further criticized Fox News, branding it a propaganda machine.
Regarding Good Morning Americas co-host, George Stephanopoulos, who previously served as President Bill Clintons communications director, Cirone revealed that Stephanopoulos hates Trump.
Interestingly, during the date with the undercover OMG journalist, Cirone offered a critique of James OKeefe's journalistic practices, warning that people need to watch out for OKeefe. He also accused OKeefe of producing misinformation and habitually taking footage out of context to tarnish the reputation of prominent left-wing figures.
