An ABC producer used her credentials to churn out fake hit pieces on local politicians in Florida while raking in thousands from a political lobbying firm, a report said.

Freelance producer Kristen Hentschel — who mostly worked for “Good Morning America” — was paid at least $14,350 by an Alabama-based political consulting firm Matrix LLC to sandbag the environmentally-friendly politicians with bogus questions, according to a report released Wednesday by NPR and Floodlight.

Hentschel claimed to be working for ABC while filming the hit piece. The company said she had not been assigned to the story.
