ABC’s ‘narcissistic’ David Muir roasted for sprucing up ‘svelte’ looks while reporting on deadly LA fires

"ABC News anchor David Muir is being mocked on social media as “pathetic” and “narcissistic” for using clamps to cinch his flame-retardant jacket while broadcasting from the scene of the deadly Los Angeles wildfires."

He's always been a cheeseball while reporting on location. He always stands with his thumbs in his front pant pockets, discreetly flexing his tricep muscles so they pop. I don't believe for a second he didn't ask for the clothes pin to help him look more "cut." I get how you need to be attractive and stylish these days while reporting the news, but he takes it way over the top. I actually feel embarrassed for him. Matt Gutman at least is interesting (and attractive) to watch.

Isn't this extremely common, almost standard for reporters? When David is in the studio, his suits and shirts are so tight it looks unnatural and uncomfortable. They ride up his arm all the time and it looks like he's wearing a suit 1 or 2 sizes too small for him.

As if ABC News needed another embarrassment.

David Muir’s seeming vanity was unfortunately on full display while covering the deadly Los Angeles wildfires on Wednesday. The “World News Tonight” anchor had a tone-deaf on-air fashion faux pas when he accidentally revealed to the camera that he had clothespins cinching the back of his official-looking flame-retardant jacket for a better fit while broadcasting live during the catastrophe.

We’re told people at the network were “embarrassed and horrified” by the gaffe. Multiple insiders pointed to Muir’s Instagram account, which features the physically fit newsman regularly broodily mugging in form-fitting T-shirts with extra short sleeves that show off his physique.

But sources also told us that the fashion world move of cinching a jacket is par for the course for one of ABC’s leading men.

A source told Page Six of the anchor: “His narcissism is quite large in the sense of this kind of thing. I like David, except for this part of him. Anderson [Cooper], [Chris] Cuomo wear all the [muscle shirts], but they would never wear this [during a wildfire].”

The insider added, “Just look at [Muir’s] Instagram.”

Another insider pointed out Muir’s uniform of a “tight black T-shirt,” when he’s out in the field. But “I’ve never seen those jackets made to look like a firefighter jacket, that matches the first responders,” they said of his ABC-branded fire outfit.

A third insider also directed us to Muir’s Instagram feed, telling us of the jacket cinch incident: “It’s pathetic. All flexed muscles and posing. He’s actually ‘Zoolander’ meets ‘Anchorman.’ He forgets he is the face of ABC News, not Abercrombie & Fitch!”

It’s not that the “clothespin trick” isn’t common. I used to work for a company where I’d have to help manage the models (clothing company) during promo shoots and learned that and several other little things like it. It’s clever and understandable to a degree.

People are giving THEIR OPINIONS on it because it wasn’t appropriate to the situation. His jacket was not so big he needed to do it. It was a ridiculous and now exposed flex move as he’s standing amongst the ruins of homes while newly homeless people mill about… and snugging-up his already highly stylized and Disney/ABC-branded jacket was both obnoxious and insulting to the situation he chose to put himself in. It’s common knowledge that the guy is vain. He wears skintight black tshirts in hurricane ravaged small towns and in subsaharan Africa surrounded by poor children, while gently flexing his biceps with hands in pocket… that’s a delusional and out of touch level of narcissism.

To call it out isn’t “hating on him” or being a MAGAT or trolling. It’s the online public discussing just another trivial popculture topic. Some of you fangurls need to take your pills and calm down about it.

And there was a good reason for that! It's stupid! Anchors belong in the studio. If he wants to be a reporter again, he should quit the anchor job.

I don't like him and I think he's a poseur, but R117 is right - MAGA is attacking him because he had the temerity to factcheck Donald, so I'm giving him a pass this time - we really should back him up.

Morons. "Walter Cronkite was famously known for reporting directly from the midst of major storms, most notably during Hurricane Camille in 1969, where he broadcast live from the devastated Mississippi coast, showcasing the destruction firsthand and delivering powerful on-the-ground reporting that highlighted the storm's severity."

For Christ's sake. Not a Muir fan here but this happens all the time in live TV news.

He wears a lavaliere (that little microphone you pin to the inside of your shirt that is wired to a power pack in the small of your back). People (men and women) clip the back of their jackets so the fabric doesn't rub against the lav mic and send out scratching sounds. It's standard procedure.

Wait till the NY Post finds out that seated correspondents always sit on the tails of their jackets so they don't get a visually distracting gap between shirt collar and jacket.

And I can assure you Megyn Kelly, as many years as she's haunted the business, knows ALL of this.

Models and on-air people also use clothespins as a quick fix for oversize clothing, though. (As in this scene from Funny Face, 1957.)

R130 The ‘’Fireman’’ who said that is Muir’s boyfriend who’s into uniforms big time.

by Anonymousreply 147January 11, 2025 3:21 AM

This seems so incredibly trivial, but also commonsensical. “My jacket’s flopping around, let’s take 30 seconds to clip it.”

Since at least 2000, has any newsreader NOT thought constantly about what they look like? Even when they are broadcasting on site from some disaster, they are playing up the look how different they look than in the studio. Pretending the wind is blowing them harder than it is and such.

What will he do going forward? “Well, I should clip my jacket. But if I clip my jacket, people will say I’m vain. But if I don’t clip my jacket, people will say I’m not following SOP because I got busted that time for being vain…”

Also, didn’t Megyn Kelly wear a totally inappropriate cocktail dress to interview Putin? Why is nobody reminding her of that?

130 I also would normally roast Muir over shit like this, but as has been said there could be a number of reasons. Most people have no idea all the behind the scenes alterations that go on for TV and film. Stylists on talkshows use pins all the time to secure mic cords, jewelry and loose clothes.

The tone of the story is also of that a vindictive queen who saw this posted on twitter and decided to pick up the story to spite him. Which one of you bitches was this? LOL

While there might have been legitimate reasons for clipping the jacket, his social media postings don't really give much reason for offering him the benefit of the doubt...

by Anonymousreply 155January 11, 2025 8:29 PM

I'm sorry, but there is NO REASON a body mic cord would need fastening on the OUTSIDE of his jacket. This was pure and simple a case of trying to give the jacket a more flattering shape. Muir may not have demanded or requested it; it may have simply been a techie or wardrobe person just doing what they always do for Muir in the studio, but nonetheless, it was all about the silhouette.

Never found Muir that handsome. Cute avg white guy, tall. He became sexy with the body building and ego. Or not sexy, if you aren't into preening. Long face with uneven features.

He looks like a zillion other averagely cute gay guys who go through a series of glow ups as they became more successful. There's nothing wrong with making the best of what you have but I can see the basic dork in this guy. If you ask me he peaked early, before all the glow ups, because he used to look sweet and unspoilt. Not a preening peacock.

He's not really a reporter. He's what the Brits appropriately call a "news reader." A few have or develop reporting or commentary skills (think Katy Kay on BBC and now Morning Joe). Image is all so the clothes pins are not a surprise.

He just seems so anachronistic in 2025. A white pretty boy chosen... why? The greats, like Jennings, had track records before they got the chair. He looks like a bland cliche, whether he is or not.

What are their ratings, anyway? Of the 30,000 people still watching "the nooz" at night from behind the TV tray, does he get most of them?

Typically, when DTM goes on location to anchor the news from a disaster site, he also does one of his "David Muir Reporting" segments to report on the disaster.

Other reporters get 2-4 minutes for their segments, but the "David Muir Reporting" segments usually are 7+ minutes long. This is on the 30 minute long World News Tonight broadcast. One time I saw one of the "David Muir Reporting" segments that was over 9 minutes long.

Takes a gigantic ego to air segments that are three times longer than what the other reporters are allowed to turn in.
