Sam Donaldson, one of the network’s most respected former reporters and its Reagan-era White House correspondent leads a call for it to boycott any future invitation-only briefings.
More than 230 former ABC News correspondents, executives and producers have signed a letter urging the network’s current top executive to take a firm stand against any Trump administration effort to curtail press access.
The letter, which circulated on a Facebook forum for ex-ABC News employees, was written after White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer held an informal briefing last Friday excluding several news organizations that have done stories angering President Donald Trump and his team.
Signees ask ABC News President James Goldston to ‘take a public stand. Refuse to take part in any future White House briefings based on an invitation list of who’s in/who’s out.’
