Savannah Guthrie “should be far away from this story”
NBC’s Savannah Guthrie should not have interviewed Amber Heard or Heard’s lawyers due to her husband’s ties to Johnny Depp’s camp, a journalism ethics expert has told Insider.
Guthrie has revealed that her husband, Michael Feldman, did “consulting work” with Depp’s legal team.
“Ms Guthrie was transparent by letting viewers know her husband worked for the Depp legal team before her interview aired on the ‘Today’ show,” Rebecca Aguilar of the Society of Professional Journalists said.
“Still, she could have avoided becoming part of the story by allowing another NBC anchor to interview the Depp team and later with Ms. Amber Heard.
“Ms Guthrie should be far away from this story to show her viewers that she is fair, transparent, and ethical.”
