ABC 33/40 Tribute to Christopher Sign

Remembering the life and legacy of our beloved colleague Christopher Sign. Originally aired June 14, 2021.

[@julielarson1189]

Chris was a wonderful newsman here in Arizona . I loved watching and hearing him daily . Sad to hear of his passing far too soon ! Love and prayers to his family and friends ,,,

I remember him. Was he on ABC 15 here? Off the cuff I thought it was CBS 5. I’m an Az. native, and we’ve gone through loads of news peeps, but I remember him. How did he pass?

Not much help you can get when your "struggle" is the clintons

[@JulieR73]

So true

[@diamondleigh7280]

Regardless of how he passed, he's gone and for that I pray his soul RIP🕊️ 🙏🏽

[@CJ-ph6zk]

Suicide has nothing to do with a happy marriage number of children success. It is when that dark place will not go away and invades your very soul. Remember him not for that moment he won't have the opportunity to take back but rather this wonderful selfless sweet kind man. May God welcome him with open arms and bring comfort to his family.

[@kimbarnett4113]

Wonderfully said ☮️💟

[@carolhutchinson7763]

He couldn't take back his death because someone else killed him. He wrote a book someone didn't like and that person shot him twice in the back of the head.

[@CJ-ph6zk]

@@carolhutchinson7763 Carol I am not challenging your opinion but where does it say he was shot in the back of his head? This man has touched my heart and would like to see justice served.

[@carolhutchinson7763]

@@CJ-ph6zk: I can't remember right off hand where I read it but I have a friend who regularly visited Arizona during the winter and everyone there was talking about how this TV announcer was killed for writing a book about the Clintons. They said nobody thought he killed himself and that it was impossible because of the way he was shot. They also said they saw it all over a tabloid newspaper in the grocery store recently.

[@OGTirpleOG]

@@CJ-ph6zk There has been countless stories about the clintons and how they murder people and make it look like a suicide. The four big names that all have some connection to the clintons are Vincent W. Foster (death by suicide), Mary Mohane (killed during a robbery), jeffery epstein (death by suicide), seth rich (murdered due to a robbery but nothing was taken from him), and now christopher sign (death by suicide). There is just too many coincidences where people who have spoken out against the clintons have either died by suicide or a random shooting.

[@elmstreetish]

Enough of these happy thoughts and breezing over the elephant in the room! How could anybody know of Christopher Sign's in-depth reporting about the Phoenix tarmac meeting and not at least speculate about murder? The death threats were well documented and even discussed publicly by him on national TV! Yet none of these newsroom people care to say what everybody is already thinking! Their love and admiration of Sign seems genuine, so I'll give them that. But local news media needs to get way more bold and brave. Get out of the propaganda business and back into real journalism! When and if some lone reporter decides to thoroughly investigate this and find out what really happened, I might tune in, but for now, no way! Stop lying to us, damn it!!!
