So how did Politico break the George Stephanopoulos Clinton Foundation donations story? Actually they didn't break it at all. The story was shopped to Politico after the Washington Free Beacon made inquiries to ABC News about Stephanopoulos' contributions to the Clinton Foundation. Apparently ABC News thought Politico would offer more favorable coverage so they leaked the story to Politico. However, to his great credit, Politico writer Jack Shafer not only acknowledged the critical role of the Free Beacon but was also highly critical of ABC News for this tactic.
First let us look at this morning's Free Beacon announcement of who really broke this story:

Good investigative work by the Beacon. Doing the work the State Controlled Media refuses to do.
THE QUESTION NO ONE IS ASKING IS WHAT DID STPEHIE GET IN RETURN FOR HIS $75,000.00?
SOMEONE SHOULD ASK AND CHECK.
Was he using his own money or was this part of a money laundering scheme?
Everyone has known for years that Mr. Snuffaloffagus has been in the pocket of the Clintons..he is the Clintons parrot, everything he hears from Slick Willy and Hitlary he repeats
CORRECT !!!
What did Stephanopolous get in return for his $50K ?
I would be willing to bet it was a trip with Bill to Orgy Island.
ABC realized straight away that Georgie had screwed them (IF the corp. heads weren’t already aware of Georgie’s contributions to the Clinton’s) so they tried to shop the story.
BIG MISTAKE.
Georgie merits firing, and if he isn’t then I will surmise that ABC’s corp. heads knew about the donations.
$75K.
This isn’t close to shocking.......all the rat media operate this way. The relationships between the Democrats and journalists are pure incest.
Higher up the food chain:
David Rhodes is the President of CBS News, whose brother Ben is an Obama adviser.
Snuffaluffagus has his nose so far up Hilary’s ass that when he sneezes, she burps.
My own guess is laundry boy for at least part of it.
But for who?
Regardless, he should be hounded from participation in political news reporting.
Stepping down from moderating debates IS NOT ENOUGH.
Let's have Megyn Kelly moderate debates instead...
Or Krauthammer
Judge Andrew Napolitano maybe?
The left would howl at any of those being suggested.
But the Clinton's boy was ok all these years...
There is more here than just a donation.
* They are trying to make it a one day story
* Quick apology with ABC immediately backing him up
* The edited amounts
*The fact that it want reported
*The questionable ABC investigation of Clinton’s
* His participation in foundation events
