'Unseemly': Andrew Kaczynski, Janice Dean and others call out ABC News over its promotion of tonight's interview with Alec Baldwin

Don’t look know, but multiple media people are calling out ABC News over its interview with Alec Baldwin airing later tonight.

CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski called it “unseemly”:

I know it's TV, an industry in which I work, but I find something unseemly about this big promo/hoopla with graphics and dramatic sounds to talk about a woman's tragic death. https://t.co/4Zut49kR6Z

Fox News’ Janice Dean and former Biden deputy press secretary T.J. Ducklo agree:

I agree. It made me so uncomfortable to see this. It’s still an active investigation.

I had the exact same reaction.

RealClearPolitics’ Tom Bevan called it “just sickening”:

I want to hear from Baldwin, and I'll watch this. But the way ABC News has chosen to promote this interview is just sickening. A woman died. It was, and remains a tragedy. https://t.co/AsBCdqEIic?

“This is tasteless,” writes journo Ashley Fantz:

I agree. This is tasteless
