ABC News

U.S. center-left

ABC News is a division of The Walt Disney Company, funded mainly through advertising and corporate media revenue rather than a single owner's personal politics. Independent bias trackers consistently rate it center-left in story selection and tone, though its factual accuracy is rated high. Its coverage of the Trump administration has been adversarial in some high-profile disputes (notably the Jimmy Kimmel suspensions) while remaining largely conventional, mainstream political reporting overall — putting it in an openly contentious relationship with the administration rather than a simply 'critical' editorial line.

Owned byThe Walt Disney Company; CEO Josh D'Amaro (since March 2026), board chairman James Gorman
