In the latest undercover video released by James O'Keefe's O'Keefe Media Group (OMG), Nick Cirone, a producer for ABC's "Good Morning America," admitted that the show selects stories and contributors that align with their leftist political biases.

"Good Morning America" is one of the most-watched morning news shows in the United States, recently ranking #1 for total viewers and being the only morning newscast to grow its viewership week-to-week, according to ABC News.

Nick Cirone, who handles segment production and booking for the show, was caught on camera discussing the editorial slant of "Good Morning America." While on a dinner date with an undercover OMG journalist, Cirone claimed, “The truth, very overwhelmingly, has a liberal bias.” He insisted that the show's news coverage is non-partisan but acknowledged a tendency to cover positive stories about President Joe Biden while avoiding overt endorsements.

When asked if the show pushes stories or segments critical of former President Donald Trump, Cirone stated that such narratives are self-evident and don’t require additional spin or commentary from Good Morning America. 

“Are we presenting it in a factual way? And again, sometimes the truth has a very clear slant in one direction,” he claimed.

Cirone admitted that guests or contributors are often chosen because they can express more blunt criticism of Trump than the show itself. He confirmed that selecting guests who are likely to criticize Trump is part of his job. 

“So what I’m hearing is that you can pick certain guests to come onto the show that will specifically highlight how sh*tty Trump is,” the undercover OMG journalist asked.

Cirone nodded and responded by saying, “That’s my job in a lot of cases.”

Cirone also made derogatory remarks about Trump supporters and right-wing voters, describing them as "not based in reality for the most part," and characterizing them as driven by "ideological dogma," "bigotry," "hatred," and "ignorance." He further criticized Fox News, labeling it a propaganda machine.

When asked about Good Morning America’s co-host, George Stephanopoulos, who was previously President Bill Clinton’s communications director, Cirone said that Stephanopoulos “hates” Trump.

Ironically at one point on the date with the undercover OMG journalist, Cirone commented on the journalistic practices of James O’Keefe, saying that people need to “watch out” for O’Keefe. He also claimed that O’Keefe produces “misinformation” and routinely takes footage “out of context” to make prominent left-wing figures look bad.
