During a live segment, \u2063he was seen\u200c using clothespins to tighten his fireman\u2019s jacket, a move that many found inappropriate adn self-indulgent\u2062 given the circumstances. Insiders at ABC criticized Muir&#8217;s\u2064 vanity, stating \u2064that covering such a\u200b disaster shoudl focus on\u2064 the humanitarian issues rather then personal\u200c image.\u200b Comments on \u200bsocial media, including a sarcastic tweet from Jack Osbourne, highlighted the disconnect between Muir&#8217;s\u200c appearance and the serious nature\u200d of the event. Muir&#8217;s actions \u2062have\u2064 drawn further scrutiny, particularly \u200bfollowing his perceived \u2062bias during a\u200c recent presidential \u2062debate. this <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">incident reflects broader concerns<\/a> about credibility and public trust in the media, which has\u200d been struggling \u200dwith accusations \u200dof partisanship and sensationalism.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>ABC News anchor David Muir, who became a global laughingstock for trying to look buff while covering the Los Angeles wildfires, is being ripped by network insiders who are disgusted by his tone-dead vanity.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Muir was caught on video <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/megyn-kelly-slams-abcs-david-muir-abject-vanity-display-reports-wildfires\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">using clothespins<\/a> to cinch his faux fireman&rsquo;s jacket to appear brawny during a live segment on the California wildfires.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Nice Jacket Bro.
