Journalists aren't supposed to do what Sam Donaldson has done.
Former ABC News White House correspondent Sam Donaldson endorsed Mike Bloomberg in the 2020 election but many media members aren’t happy the famed journalist offered his opinion.
The Poynter Institute senior media writer Tom Jones blasted the decision for Donaldson, who retired from ABC News in 2013, to chime in.
“It’s misguided to think someone who worked in journalism for more than 50 years — someone whose name is associated with tough but fair reporting — can now express a political opinion and not have it do serious damage to the credibility of those currently working in the media,” Jones wrote. “Even Donaldson seemed to know that he might have been crossing a line in his endorsement of Bloomberg.”
