David Wright, ABC News Political Correspondent: "We Also Don't Give Him [Trump] Credit for What Things He Does do...I Feel Terrible About it, I Feel That the Truth Suffers, the Voters Are Poorly Informed...Our Bosses Don't See an Upside in Doing the Job We're Supposed to do."David Wright: "In Television, We Have Lost Any Sense of Context."
Wright: "We Don't Hold Him [Trump] to Account. We Also Don't Give Him Credit for What Things He Does Do."
Are You a Democrat Socialist? Wright: "Oh yeah. More than that I would consider myself a socialist; like I think there should be national health insurance. I'm totally fine with reigning in corporations, I think they're too many billionaires, and I think there's a wealth gap-that's a problem."
Wright: "You Can't Watch 'Good Morning America' Without a Disney Princess or a Marvel Avenger Appearing."
Wright: "We're in This Awkward Moment...We Have This F**king President, and We Can't Figure Out How to Challenge Him."
To Andy Fies, ABC News Producer: "People in New York Are Constantly, I Think, Fascinated by, 'How Can People Like Donald Trump?'...You Know, Well F**k! Cross the Hudson Now and Then, and Come Out and Spend Some Time, and You'll Hear Why!"
Fies: Real People, Practical Issues? "Those things aren't TV-friendly."
