ABC’s Jonathan Karl Issues Stark Warning About Covering Donald Trump 2024

If Donald Trump eventually decides to run for president again in 2024, ABC News’ Jonathan Karl warned it may be “the greatest challenge ever facing campaign reporters.”

Karl posed multiple questions on the problems of reporting on a possible third Trump presidential campaign in a lengthy interview with Deadline published Friday.

Such as, “How do you cover a candidate who is effectively anti-democratic?”

And, “How do you cover a candidate who is … also running against the very democratic system that makes all of this possible?”

Karl, the author of “Betrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show,” said reporting on Trump would be “tremendously challenging” because “now, more than ever” he “is just saying things that are not true, that are designed to misinform, that are designed to erode credibility and belief in our electoral system.”

According to The Washington Post, Trump made more than 30,000 false or misleading claims during his presidency alone.

The one-term president’s baseless conspiracy theories about his 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden incited the deadly U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6.

And he’s repeated the same falsehoods on multiple other occasions since.

How to tackle Trump’s debates, speeches and interviews were “really difficult questions,” acknowledged Karl, because he’s “been demonstrated to be a candidate that is trying to destroy the very system that makes this election possible.”

“It is a very difficult, precarious situation, and I don’t know how it is going to play out, to be honest,” he added.

  1. I don’t trust anyone connected to any democrats…..especially reporters who lied every hour about President Trump. Those reporters are all in for the lying deomcrats!

  2. What a joke ALL the supposed main stream meads are anti American and need to be stopped by any means needed. Those assholes make it up to suit their own needs. If they were all to die today it wouldn’t be soon enough.

  3. I can’t believe that there are idiots that really believe what the fake MSM has to say, especially after what has happened in the last 10 months! The media lie, give fake and misinformation, cover for the idiot current president, incite rioting then cover up the destruction, the worst is that they don’t care about keeping our Country free, they would give in to the socialistic, communistic and radical ideas of the leftist. Change the channel and gets some real news, there are news reporter that tell what’s really happening.

  4. ABC has no credibility with lying reporters like Jonathan Karl making up BS to make himself look important. Americans know the truth and it isn’t coming from ABC.
