"Anchor Monster" at ABC?
/Evidently, ABC World News Tonight anchor David Muir isn't making any friends in the news division. His nickname is "Anchor Monster" supposedly because he frequently loses his temper with the crew over being beaten in the ratings by NBC's Lester Holt.
Page Six is reporting that Muir screams at the crew unless ABC News President James Goldston is around. On an open mike he was heard complaining he wanted less of the reporters' voices and more of his own.
Muir's interview with Hillary Clinton, in which she finally apologized for using personal email - tanked in the ratings. Lester Holt had an average of 8.3 million viewers, to Muir's 7.3 million. OUCH!
