Stephanopoulos Caught in Clinton Cash Trap
The Daily Beast ^ | 05.14.15 | Lloyd Grove

Posted on 05/14/2015 10:10:55 PM PDT by Cheerio

The ABC anchor has admitted he donated the money to the Clinton Foundation. Republicans do not want to let the matter die.

ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos, who for 15 years expertly navigated his re-invention from tough Clinton operative to respected television journalist, has finally—and perhaps inevitably—slipped up.

His mistake, by any definition, is a beaut—no doubt prompting a blush of shame and putting the network news division on the defensive.

Schweizer, meanwhile, was unimpressed and accused Stephanopoulos of a "massive breach of ethical standards," writing in an email to Bloomberg Politics that he was "really quite stunned by this...He fairly noted [during the This Week appearance] my four months working as a speechwriter for George W. Bush. But he didn't disclose this?”

Will Republicans ever learn NOT to go on these shows? What does it serve - there are two standards of ethics and decency. AMERICA IS VERY DIVIDED ON THE ETHICS OF THE TWO PARTIES.

‘tough Clinton operative to SUSPECTED journalist’ is more like it.

I said the same thing before. But the problem is cable gests a million viewers while these channels might get 10 or 20 million, so we have to go on them.

Cruz is smart enough to be on these shows.

Many, like Huckabee and Carson, are not. Paul gets mad to easily.

Fiorina actually does pretty well against them. Anybody down for her as VP to Cruz or is that insane? I don’t know her polices well enough.

No. Just no. You're talking about someone who didn't even have the common sense to buy up websites with her name on them ahead of time (and that's before we even get to her tenure at Hewlett-Packard).

OK. Was just asking :)

Walker doesn’t do it for me for some reason on a personal or excitement level. But he has done some great things in his sate. Cruz/Walker works for me.

I really wish Huck and Doc weren’t running.

I’d rather see Cruz/LePage. The Governor of Maine, Paul LePage, is an unapologetic Conservative who is as anti-PC as they get. Started out in abject poverty in an abusive home (where they only spoke French), a real personal success story. The anti-Willard to the extreme. The media hates people like Paul LePage with a burning passion because he demonstrates the “American dream” works.

I need to look into him. I heard he decimated the welfare ranks by requiring (gasp) them to work.

I always thought Maine was liberal. Shocked to find repb governor. good.

Maine has had a LOT of mediocre Governors and elected officials for a long time (both leftist Democrats and RINOs and “Independents”). LePage is probably the greatest Governor Maine has had in eons.

That’s great for Maine! 66 huh? if he has presidential aspirations he better get rocking for that VP spot :)

He would be 74 after Cruz get out. But heck, that’s a kid these days :)

Unless I’m reading wrong, Romney lost by 15 points in Maine!! and they elected a republican gov. odd.

Looks like NBC will be courting George Stephanopoulos to be Brian Williams permanent replacement.

Protip for Tom Brady:
1) Donate large to Clinton Foundation
2) Go on the View

The Social Justice Jackals will slink away and leave Tom alone

George is not nor ever was a journalist.
Never spent a day studying journalism.
He is a fraud, like all the rest in the MSM.
The MSM is a fraud.

The news network boys are too stupid to figure out why Americans have stopped watching network news...

Here’s a flash - it’s because network news isn’t trustworthy.

First it was $50,000 now it’s $75,000. What’s the true amount?
