PBS: Cover ups. Conflicts of interest. And all of it at taxpayer expense.

[PBS] now admits to burying the $75,000 Clinton Cash scandal involving ABC News senior anchor George Stephanopoulos. Friday, as though anything will ever change, PBS ombudsman Michael Getler stepped up and pretty much pled guilty on both counts:
The following evening, May 15, Woodruff closed the NewsHour broadcast with a “short editor’s note before we go.” She said: “There have been questions this week about journalists’ contributions to the Clinton Foundation and my name has come up. I want to clarify what happened. In 2010, after the massive earthquake in Haiti, I made a gift of $250 to the Haiti Relief Fund, established by the Clinton Foundation. It was meant for charitable purposes only.” …
Was the Woodruff link the reason the NewsHour chose not to cover a story that has generated lots of continuing coverage [snip]. The program did post an Associated Press story on its web site last Friday but, aside from the Woodruff statement, it has broadcast nothing about the broader story to its viewers. And the AP story did not mention Woodruff.

And where is Woodruff’s explanation for why she believed, of all the charities out there, the Clinton Foundation was the most effective place to park her money?

Granted, $250 is not a lot of money to a multi-millionaire like Woodruff. But what better way to prove your fealty to power than with just a small token of your integrity? In ClintonLand, that token means everything.
There is no institution in America more corrupt, dishonest, and compromised than the American media.

$250......Well, I guess that’ll feed 600,000 Haitians for three years......
They all have Stephnopoulis Disease...
Why would anyone contribute through an organization that has a 90% overhead (read rake-off)?
When the Haiti earthquake occurred, I contributed through the church that I grew up in. Their history is without blemish.
$250 is enough to demonstrate where Woodruff’s loyalty lies.
$250 exceeds the value of her journalistic integrity.
Granted, $250 is not a lot of money to a multi-millionaire like Woodruff. —cheap democrapic biatch.
. . . by about $3,213,769.12
weve come a long way from Wooward and Bernstein to Woodruff and Stephanapolous
“there is no story there” on Clinton money scandal, say the one directly donating to them. Stephanopoulos is a scum bag.
Believe me, to Gold Digging stingy liberal women, it is a lot of money to part with.
I’m glad this came out but i for one would give a pass on a contribution that size in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. How can i condemn a charitable response?
January,20th 2017 President Clinton will say Na,Na,Na!
