Conservative commentator Candace Owens has once again sparked controversy, this time targeting ABC News anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis. In a scathing critique, Owens accused the veteran journalists of bringing “disgrace” to the field of journalism, questioning their integrity and impartiality.
Owens, known for her outspoken views on politics and media, made her remarks during a recent podcast episode. She argued that Muir and Davis, two of ABC’s most prominent faces, have become symbols of what she perceives as a biased and politically-driven media. Owens took aim at their coverage of major news events, claiming they prioritize a liberal agenda over factual reporting.
“David Muir and Linsey Davis represent everything wrong with modern journalism,” Owens said. “They’re no longer interested in delivering the truth. Instead, they’ve turned their platforms into megaphones for leftist propaganda.”
Her comments have fueled an already ongoing debate about media bias in the U.S. Critics of mainstream news outlets have long accused organizations like ABC of leaning too far to the left, while supporters argue that they are simply reporting the facts as they are.
David Muir, the anchor of ABC World News Tonight, is widely regarded as one of the most respected figures in broadcast journalism, having covered everything from presidential elections to international crises. Linsey Davis, known for her work on ABC News Live and as a correspondent, has also earned praise for her in-depth reporting and interviews.
ABC News has not issued a response to Owens’ comments. However, supporters of Muir and Davis were quick to defend the journalists on social media, praising their professionalism and dedication to the craft. Owens, undeterred by the backlash, reiterated her belief that the media landscape needs a drastic shift toward transparency and objectivity.
As the debate over media integrity continues, Owens’ remarks have once again positioned her at the center of a heated cultural conversation.
