The RNC Should Ban George Stephanopoulos From Participating In 2016 Debates

After being questioned by the Washington Free Beacon about large donations he made to the Clinton Foundation, George Stephanopoulos of ABC News disclosed to Politico that he had funneled $50,000 to the tax-exempt organization in 2013 and 2014. Stephanopoulos’s secret donations to the Clintons’ non-profit came while he was professionally covering the family for ABC News. And then, after he was busted by the Free Beacon, he decided to leak the news of his secret Clinton cash contributions to Politico in order to deny Free Beacon its scoop. Classy, huh?

It gets even worse, though. It wasn’t just that Stephanopoulos made the contributions while he was supposed to be objectively covering the Clinton family on behalf of a major broadcast news organization. It’s bigger than that. Just last month, Stephanopoulos interviewed Peter Schweizer, the author of Clinton Cash, a blockbuster investigative expose of the Clinton Foundation’s finances. Not once did Stephanopoulos disclose his cash ties to the Clinton Foundation. Stephanopoulos, who we are supposed to believe is an objective journalist, deliberately chose to hide the fact that he was a Clinton Foundation donor.

“It was an honest mistake,” ABC News told Politico, in apparent attempt to suggest to its viewers that not only does ABC News not care about transparency in reporting, but that it’s also unaware of the actual meanings of the words “honest” and “mistake.”

If he had any kind of class at all, he would remove himself.

[Popman]

ABC should suspend him....

Ok, that was a joke...

If it is the RNC setting up the debates then the interlocutors will be necessarily hostile to conservatives and extra hostile to Christians.

[b4its2late]

And any other journalists who contributed. We might not have any of them left to moderate.

Well, he doesn’t. We know that already.

Why is there even a question of whether he should ever be part of ANY debate with a republican in it. He can’t.

He shouldn’t be allowed to interview a republican anymore.

And I have to go to confession for thinking of how much I’d like to slug him.

We’re talking about a Democrat operative here, he has no ethics and would never remove himself.

Stephanopoulos, who we are supposed to believe is an objective journalist

If ANYONE ever believed that, I'd just like say, I'm the owner of the Brooklyn Bridge and I'm desperate to sell, call me.

Georgie is NOT a journalist - he is an ACTIVIST for the Democrat party. Stop calling these people “journalists.” Start calling them what they are - Democrat Activists.

[Mr. K]

why do we let any libtard press moderate or control our debates?

they are clearly on the democrats’ side.

Lets get Rush, Hannity, Levin, etc. to moderate.

“It was an honest mistake,” ABC News told Politico...

It always is. I wonder how they manage to keep a straight face when they say things like this.
