George Stephanopoulos’ future — and $105M contract — in danger

ABC has plenty of reasons to be freaking out over the George Stephanopoulos scandal — $105 million, to be exact.

[Paladin2]

To loot is a hoot. Just ask H!.

[Ken H]

What became of that?

[grania]

Stephanopolos always was a decent but extremely tough to conservatives interviewer. That didn't bother me because we know the deck is stacked against constitutional conservatives, so the ones that would survive could do well in spite of his bias.

But that verbal assault against the author of the Clinton Cash book? That went way too far. The author did real well. The result was Stepanopolos came out looking like the political plant he is.

There's no question he should go. JMHO

Why they fawn over and pay Georgie boy so much money is beyond me. If he’s that stupid to donate to the Clintoons with his current career then that’s their problem. Then again the networks are whores for the Dems anyway.

“Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is Hillary Clinton’s only declared primary opponent, told CNN that Stephanopoulos “should have made [his donations] public,” but added that the scandal wasn’t “the biggest deal in the world.””

There’s not much I agree with Sanders on, but this is one thing. If Republicans were TOO STUPID to figure out that a SPOKESMAN for a Democrat President cannot be trusted as impartial until this happened, they’re probably TOO STUPID to figure it out now...so it’s not a big deal.

EVERY Republican on his show should have questioned his impartiality, ON THE AIR, before the end of their segments. For HEAVEN’S SAKE the guy was the SPOKESMAN for the president, he wasn’t some little girl answering calls in Musgogie or something. He was in the damn STRATEGY SESSIONS, then out there lying his butt off to the media to protect Clinton.

...and Republicans couldn’t figure out he was compromised, until now?

STILL WRITING LETTERS WRT GEORGIO'S ATTACKS ON CONSERVATIVES

July 25, 2012---ABC News Senior VP Kerry Smith to Colorado Tea Party – "our Twitter apology is good enough"

ABC News Senior Vice President Kerry Smith sent a letter today actually claiming that the propaganda network (Disney-owned ABC) is taking full responsibility for last week’s tea party smear claiming that there was a ‘Jim Holmes’ who recently joined the Colorado tea party.

=========================================

Politico has been covering the ABC News tea party smear by Brian Ross and George Stephanopolous.....probably because Politico is basically an online left wing propaganda outfit for rival network (NBC).

Conservatives need to step up their boycott of Disney-owned ABC and related companies....like ESPN.

I can think of several on this forum who could do a better job.

Why is this not a big deal?

With all the occu-pie BS, ranting about the rich and the _resident harping about life’s lottery winners, how can hitlery’s everyday Americans trust someone that has elevated himself above the masses in this fashion?

How many dolts who watch and believe him can even fathom this kind of pay?

[Ken H]

Stephy could not have timed that hatchet job worse.

[VTenigma]

What are any of them thinking. Of the 3 scheduled presidential debates the RNC agreed to only 1 is not hosted by the commie MSM.

[Paine in the Neck]

What an amazing development. You hire a skunk, know him to be a skunk, put him in with a den of other skunks, and then are surprised when people start to notice a certain stink around your place.

ABC figured they were buying influence by hiring and giving prominence to this Clinton toady. What they didn’t figure on was getting on the wrong side of the anti-Clinton wing of the ‘Rat party. And now they’re caught in the crossfire.

George took this selfie the other day to send around to his ABC bosses.

"Clinton who?"

[Liz]

"Clinton Cash" author Schweizer, has been assembling the Steffie track record:

<><> •In 2006 Georgeopoulous was a featured attendee and panel moderator at the annual CGI meeting.

<><> •in 2007 he was listed as a featured attendee at the CGI meeting alongside big money Lucas Lundin, Frank Giustra, Frank Holmes, and Carlos Slim.

<><> •He was a 2008 panelist at the annual meeting.

<><> •In 2009 he was a panel moderator at the CGI annual meeting.

<><> •In 2010, he was a “notable member” of CGI's exclusive members-only club w/ a $20,000 membership price tag.

=============================================

THIS IS FROM THE CLINTON FOUNDATION ARCHIVES:

“extremely tough to conservatives”

Doesn’t bother me that an interviewer is tough or throws gotchas as long as they do it to all of their interviewees.

I like the gotchas because if the interviewee knows his business he should be able to dust them off and turn them around and start interviewing the interviewer.

A dangerous advantage interviewers sometimes have is that they can edit the interview before it’s broadcast.

Famously, Couric gotcha’ed Palin. I blamed Palin for that.

[11th Commandment]

I have always liked him

[barefoot_hiker]

So before this donation revelation, some people actually thought this clown was an unbiased journalist (an endangered species these days)? I think anyone with half a brain knew he was a partisan Clintonite hack.
