In the seven-minute video, which features choppy editing and only the occasional glimpse of the face of the man identified as Wright, the correspondent is also asked whether he would consider himself a democratic socialist, the ideology claimed by Democratic presidential frontrunner Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

“Like, more than that, I consider myself a socialist,” Wright appears to respond, explaining that he favors “national health insurance,” “reining in corporations” and narrowing the wealth gap.

Wright has been with ABC News since 2000, according to a biography on the network’s website, and his reporting has been featured on all of the network’s biggest platforms, including “World News Tonight” and “Good Morning America." He served as the lead political reporter for “Nightline” during the 2016 elections, and has also reported abroad on international affairs.

Wright and a man identified as producer Andy Fies also discuss a bevvy of complaints about broadcast news, many of which echo widespread gripes about the horserace nature of political journalism writ large.

They had especially harsh words for their employer about its coverage of President Donald Trump, who Wright at one point refers to as "this f--king president," complaining that Trump has put news outlets in "an awkward moment" where "we can’t figure out how to challenge him."

“We don’t hold him to account,” Wright says in the video, the subtitles for which indicate that he is referring to the president. “We also don’t give him credit for what things he does do.”

He also accuses his ABC News bosses of ignoring stories that matter to voters in favor of flashier ones, or ones that also line the pockets of parent company Disney.

"It’s like there’s no upside in — or our bosses don’t see an upside — in doing the job we’re supposed to do, which is to speak truth to power and hold people to account," he claims, lamenting that he feels terrible because as a result, "the truth suffers" and "voters are poorly informed."

He went on to complain that “now you can’t watch ‘Good Morning America’ without there being a Disney princess or a Marvel Avenger appearing,” decrying the network for, in his view, eschewing "stories that we need to tell that are maybe hard to tell."

“It’s all self-promotional,” he says in the video.

James O’Keefe, Project Veritas’ founder, first teased the new video Tuesday night, calling it another step in the group’s effort to show ABC’s purported “agenda to mislead voters and push their own narratives,” building off of a video released last year showing anchor Amy Robach complaining that the network had spiked an interview with an accuser of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The operation is known for its hidden-camera interviews in which it looks to lure members of established news outlets into making supposedly compromising ethical statements. It has been criticized for deceptively editing footage to misrepresent the subjects’ comments.

In 2017, the group appeared to get caught in an attempt to feed The Washington Post a false allegation of sexual misconduct against Roy Moore, who at the time was running in a special election for a U.S. Senate seat in Alabama and had faced multiple other allegations of sexual misconduct.

In 2010, O’Keefe was sued for his videos involving members of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now purportedly discussing illegal activities. As part of the settlement, O’Keefe agreed to pay $100,000 to Juan Carlos Vera, a former ACORN employee who was surreptitiously taped, and said in a statement that he “regrets any pain” he caused Vera.

O’Keefe was commissioned in 2009 by Andrew Breitbart, founder of the popular alt-right news site that has been among the fiercest media allies of Trump.
