Bob Costas Slams Trump’s ‘Ongoing Assaults’ on Free Press
SHARE

Bob Costas, a legendary sports caster, delivered a stark warning about the future of journalism during his acceptance speech for a lifetime achievement Mirror Award. The ceremony took place at the Edison Ballroom in New York and Costas did not hold back in his criticism of the current state of the free press under the Trump administration. He described the situation as an “ongoing assault” on democracy and emphasized that “democracy as we know it” is “under attack.”

Costas pointed out that the challenges faced by major news outlets are not solely the result of external pressures. He acknowledged that the “legacy or mainstream media” have their own shortcomings, including “blind spots” and “misplaced narratives.” However, he made it clear that the alternative, represented by what he referred to as “MAGA media” and Donald Trump’s self-serving worldview, is not the solution. Costas expressed his commitment to remaining true to journalistic integrity, even in the face of criticism from those who accuse him of becoming too political.

Having spent 40 years at NBC Sports before leaving in 2019, Costas lamented the industry’s failure to effectively address the intersection of sports with important social and political issues. He stressed the importance of covering political issues in sports, not as a distraction during games, but as a necessary aspect of sports journalism.

Costas’ speech resonated with the audience, highlighting the critical role that journalists and media outlets play in upholding the principles of a free press and holding those in power accountable. As the landscape of journalism continues to evolve, Costas’ words serve as a reminder of the inherent responsibility that comes with the profession.
