David Muir of ABC is taking a lot of criticism from both the public and celebrities after he was seen with his jacket pinned to make it appear a bit more snug, showing off his body a bit more for the camera.

Jack Osbourne took to Twitter to post this:

Osbournes comment of "nice jacket bro" took off garnering thousand of reposts and likes on X, including from Donald Trump Jr, who slammed the reporter.

Now, some in the news industry have come to Muir's aid to let people know that this is a common thing in television news. A source told Mediaite that this had nothing to do with David Muir asking for anything and was for practical use.

This was 30 seconds before air, a producer stepped in to try to fix coat in the wind...

Also coming to Muir's aid is Chicago meteorologist Greg Dutra. He posted to his Instagram story an image of him with a jacket pinned in a similar way and said that this is pretty standard practice when reporting on weather.

David Muir has been the lead anchor on World News Tonight on ABC since 2014. He was born in Syracuse, NY and went to Ithaca College, where he graduated in 1995.
