The legendary sportsman Bob Costas criticized several media organizations to know how they treated with President Donald Trump when he spoke during an event at the University of Syracuse on Monday evening.
The former voice of baseball and the Olympic Games struck ABC News’ decision to settle for the president of George Stephanopoulos comments on the E. Jean Carroll trial. Costas also sharpened paramount about attempts to set a “60 -minute” trial. He described the ABC News regulation and the primordial offer reported as a “ransom”.

Costas said that media companies are making mistakes and have “dead angles and poorly placed stories”, but he said he did not think anyone should make Trump correction if it does not benefit him, according to Mediitus.
“But if the answer to this is Magi Media, if the answer to this is Donald Trump’s point of view on the world, which is only by a prism of what benefits him, there are no higher ideals,” said Costas. “There is no principle at work other than what benefits him. I will stay with where we are without correction if the correction is Donald Trump represents.
“And what has also happened here is that, because he is the president, to a certain extent, who he is and what he does, and what is done in his name, has been standardized so that responsible journalists must claim that there are always two sides. There are really not two parts to a large part of what Donald Trump represents.”

Costas suggested that the networks did not need someone to defend Trump or the White House on questions in the name of objectivity or in balance.
“Look, if someone says that the earth is flat, in order to appear objective, you are not required to say:” Well, maybe it could be oblong. “No, that is not the case,” he said. “Some things are simply true. And unfortunately, something that is true in America at the moment is that the President of the United States has absolutely no respect, and in fact has a contempt, for the basic principles of the fundamental common decency.”

Costas received the Fred Dressler Leadership Award, which “is awarded to individuals or organizations that have made separate, coherent and unique contributions to the understanding of the media public”, according to the Newhouse School website.
