2) David Muir, ABC News: Trump has done two interviews with Muir since taking office, which puts the “World News Tonight” anchor at the top of rankings among the network evening news anchors. Like Baier, the president doesn’t seem to have any issue with Muir, who stays away from anything resembling controversial statements and the “look-at-me” culture of journalists making themselves the story that is increasingly permeating the industry.
This quote From Muir in an interview with Time sticks out:
“We go out there and try to earn that trust every single night. And we’re not perfect. One of the great gifts of this job is that you can go out the next night and give it your best shot again. But we never forget that we’re reporting to a divided country.”
