Locating Sources[edit]

Making a project out of finding the proper inline sources for this page. I notice in the Career section there is a discrepancy where two different dates are listed for Johnson's GMA debut. Looking at his Twitter it looks like what this was was that he debuted as a correspondent in March 2018 but became a weekend anchor the following September, so I'll adjust the text there. I haven't found a better source than his twitter account for this information, so for now, that's what I am going to cite. Not that the source isn't reliable, but a news article from a reliable source might be preferable if anyone finds one.

I'm also struggling to find a source for his supposed ABC World News Tonight debut date of March 21, 2018. The best I can find is an announcement of him joining ABC as a correspondent on March 12, 2018. I am going to replace the debut date with this announcement for the time being until someone can find a source for the March 21 date. Delightfulhuman (talk) 02:20, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Actually upon further review I think the ABC World News Tonight debut date of March 21, 2018 was mistaken. (Perhaps the editor confused his debut on that program with his having joined ABC News?) It looks like he wasn't on ABC World News Tonight until Feb, 2021. I've updated the article text based on what the sources support. Delightfulhuman (talk) 03:50, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

While the twitter sources do give a general sense of when certain of his job events happened, the text was inferring a little more than could safely be stated. I've pared it down to be on the safer side. Blunderbuss24 (talk) 03:18, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Since the stories of collusion with fbi and media? Man really thought I could trust y’all… 2600:6C67:2800:BEE:C14:A0C3:B918:3522 (talk) 00:39, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
