Furor over ABC's Sam Donaldson Hosting Brady Campaign Fundraiser

(CNSNews.com) - A gun rights group has sent a letter to ABC News demanding that reporter Sam Donaldson be barred from ever reporting on gun rights issues after he served as master of ceremonies at a fundraiser for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. The Second Amendment Foundation said Donaldson's participation in such an event reinforces the belief that the network and its reporters share an anti-gun philosophy. "We believe that the appearance of such a high-profile ABC reporter and commentator as the host of an event that raises money for one of the nation's most hysteria-driven gun control organizations is a terrible breach of propriety," said SAF founder Alan Gottlieb. "Donaldson is actually out there in the spotlight," he continued, "helping this anti-gun organization raise hundreds of thousands of dollars that will be used to trample our Second Amendment rights. It's as bad as Dan Rather being the keynoter at a Democrat Party event in Texas a few years ago." Gottlied added: "Any appearance of fairness that Donaldson may have had on the gun rights issue just went out the window." Now Donaldson has "zero credibility on any level that deals with firearms, and the same pretty much goes with ABC News as a news agency," Gottlieb said. "Donaldson has no business hosting a fund raising event for a gun control organization, and ABC News has no business allowing it," he added.
