For not revealing he donated $75,000 to the Clinton Foundation when he interviewed Peter Schweitzer the author of Clinton Cash?

1= Little
10= Greatest

What should happen to him? Nothing, Suspension (how long) Fired How long will he be tarnished? Currently he is the co-host of Good Morning America which has the highest ratings of the three major networks. He is also the host of the Sunday morning news discussion program This Week.

Here is Peter Schweitzer's opinion column in today's USA Today

Stephanopoulos, ABC have not fully disclosed Clinton ties: Schweizer
 
In my eyes he was always a scumbag Leftist whore who is a disgrace to his profession..How much lower can you get?

Stepho hasn't been hurt, because in the journalistic circles he runs in, he is one among many.

As to ABC and the other MSM outlets, just more confirmation of what was already well known.
 
Damn, the more and more Pete posts threads and comments defending Georgie Boy, I'm more and more convinced that he's damaged goods and that he's an integral part of the Hillary Clinton campaign team. Pete doesn't do this much damage control for just anyone.
 
I agree with the zero assessment. Heck he has only to look at the Terry Mcauliffe example. That pinheaded crook and Clinton cheerleader is now the governor of a state.
 
I recommend George be boiled in oil. Peanut oil. He's fine though. He'll get a pass. I do think he's effectively cut ABC off at the knees with regard to coverage of presidential debates.

It's not damage control, I even included Peter Schwitzer's Op/Ed. I was interested in what people thought. If you think the numbers of posts I make shows you how damaged George is, you have a serious problem CJ. Seriously.

Do you have to remind me?

Perhaps you could enlighten me about my "serious problem". You know, we who are afflicted are often the last to recognize the symptoms. Give me the bad news doc, I can take it.

Except that journalism isn't his profession. Yeah, it's what he's doing, but he's not educated as a journalist, so it's not surprising that he doesn't adhere to it's other many professional requirements.

You problem is using me as your guide to how damaged George Stephanopoulos was. I was being facetious BTW.

Greetings, ocean515. :2wave:

Why was this even a front page story? Oh I understand that he wasn't being upfront in telling everyone that he donated to the Clintons - which doesn't really qualify as a big surprise to anyone, BTW - but unless that's a crime, who the H*** really cares what he does with his money? And I don't even like the guy and never watch him! If he broke a network rule, that's another story, but why should the public care about that? That's in-house, and now we're supposed to think networks always act ethically in everything they do? :yawn: Or was this meant to serve as a means to deflect attention from Hillary's many problems and get that off the front page for a while, which many people think might be the case? :thumbdown:

Hi Polgara :2wave:

I'm of the belief that nothing ever happens in a vacuum. Headline manipulation is a well developed tactic, and George is among those who is likely quite good at it.

I, like you, never watch the guy. I also understand his background and affiliations. Like you, if he broke a network rule, then the network should take care of it.

I could be wrong, but I don't remember a time when so many members of the fifth estate were affiliated so strongly with one political ideology.

You must have missed the run up to the war in Iraq and May 1, 2003 when President Bush declared "Mission Accomplished"

Not at all Pete. Unlike the people you shill for, with regards to what Iraq was doing before we were forced to take action, I rely on information like this:

IAEA and Iraq - Global Special Weapons - Nuclear, Biological Chemical and Missile Proliferation News

and this:

UNSCOM Reports to the Security Council

As to the President's declaration, it was accurate at the time, was it not?

No. I don't need Progressive Machine websites to tell me what to think. I recognize they are designed for people who have trouble thinking for themselves, so for those who surrender their thinking to others, they do serve a purpose. I would think the $100's of millions spent to create them comes with some expectation of attracting believers.

Then he's perfect for your basic mainstream media. ;)

Oh, hell. I have no training in being a brain surgeon. Can I go do that?
 
Shakespeare wrote an entire play about this - MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. GS does not give up his right as a citizen and an American to give his money to whom he wishes to give it and I se precious little anger about this.
 
Stephanopoulos had close ties to the Clintons??? It's not like he helped Bill get elected or anything. lol
