Twice in 24 Hours, ABC IDs Michael Reagan as ‘Conservative,’ Ignores Ron Jr Being a Liberal
For the second time in less than 24 hours, ABC identified Michael Reagan as a “conservative,” but failed to identify the left-wing ideology of Ron Reagan Jr. Monday’s Good Morning America played up the “clash” between the adopted son Michael and Ron, author of a new book that claims his father, the 40th president, had Alzheimer’s during his time in the White House.
Correspondent Claire Shipman explained, “It’s another feud in an often fractious family. In a series of tweets over the weekend, Michael Reagan, the former President’s son and a conservative commentator, accused his stepbrother Ron of trying to sell out his father to sell books.”
