ABC’s World News Tonight anchor David Muir faced online criticism for wearing a yellow flame-retardant jacket held by clothespins during his live coverage of the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. Critics, including Jack Osbourne, accused him of prioritizing appearance over the tragedy,

Muir later continued his reporting without the pins, maintaining his professional coverage.
