Over 100 former journalists urge Bob Iger to resist political pressure amid Trump criticism
More than 100 former ABC News journalists have signed an open letter urging Disney CEO Bob Iger to stand firm in defense of journalistic integrity and press freedom. The appeal comes in response to recent attacks by President Donald Trump, who has criticized ABC News coverage and questioned its credibility.
The signatories — including producers, anchors, and correspondents — emphasized the importance of editorial independence and the role of media in holding power accountable. They called on Disney, ABC’s parent company, to protect its news division from political interference.
“This is a moment to reaffirm the values of truth, transparency, and courage,” the letter states.
