Big Trouble for Little Stephanopoulos

It’s a shame, Stephanopoulos had a great future in dwarf tossing.

[eyedigress]

Big Media is going to have a problem with Hillary.

Go ahead and blow a billion dollars up Americas collective ass. George is nothing.

Watch the Clinton machine implode!

[navyguy]

Unfortunately the reality is that Stephanopoulos isn’t in any trouble at all with anyone on the Left. Most of the media won’t even mention this issue.

Criminal activity, blatant conflicts of interest, totally incestuous politics and media... all of this is perfectly normal and acceptable to the Left. To them it’s just the normal way the world works.

The Left has no principles, it only has goals.

[lowbridge]

I never needed evidence of him giving away money to the clinton foundation as proof that he is a biased hack democrat activist under the guise of a journalist. I knew this way back when ABC first announced hiring him, before even his first day on the job.

[longfellow]

Another one that should be on his knees on the capitol steps with a gun to the back of his head.

[oust the louse]

The Left has no principles, it only has goals.

I’m using this as my new tag line...

[navyguy]

Have at it! And spread it around... it’s the freakin’ truth.

[VRW Conspirator]

This charade has been going on for close to 20 years. Stephie is and always will be a Democrat hack, bought and paid for. ABC knew then and know it now. ABC was in on it.

[Theodore R.]

I have never watched his program and never will. Let the American people learn from his views as they are so uninformed.

[I want the USA back]

Shed no tears for pretty face. He will get a job in TV right away.

"Stephie is and always will be a Democrat hack"

Yeah, but there's something else going on here. He's isn't just a democrat hack, he's a Clinton shill.

In the recent weeks/months, Brian Williams was taken out, Hillary is under relentless attacks, and now Stephie. It's almost like someone is clearing the decks to make way for a new entrant.

As it's all very Alinsky-like, you must consider whether Obama & Co. are behind it, making sure THEY pick the next nominee, not the "inevitable" Hillary to be sure.

It could also be the Godfather of the Clinton Family, Bill himself. It would kill him if Hillary was better; and would harm his legacy if she were worse.

I really can't believe the republicans can organize a 1-mile hike for Boy Scouts, so I'm doubting anyone on the right. Other theories?

Regardless, it'll be fun to watch - and to see who gets it when the next shoe drops.

AN OUTSTANDING POST BY FREEPER TRAVIS MCGEE: "Most viewers of the Jan 7 New Hampshire Republican primary debate, wondered why debate moderator George Stephanopoulos of ABC-News kept asking seemingly off-topic questions about the candidates’ views."

We now understand White House War Room “General” Valerie Jarrett had been coaching hard-left suckups to deliver the administration's “talking points” and strategic memes in the effort to dupe America voters.

Transitioned into an ABC-TV (gag) journo, the Clinton White House War Room “General” George Stephanopoulos just happened to pick debate questions that the cunning Obama White House wanted to float, as a diversion......

[Liz]

When Barack Obama took office in 2009....ABC-TV "Good Morning America" anchors and guests gushed at the (cough) 'sheer brilliance' of Obama's incoming cabinet, and referenced Obama's "team of economic gladiators"...which included "gladiator" Secy of the Treasuey Tim Geithner (who had a problem filing taxes).

BIG BARFER Predictably, reconstituted Clinton factotum, George Stephanopoulos, now an ABC-TV newsman, rhapsodized about the Obama picks on ABC-TV: "We have not seen this kind of combination of star power and brain power and political muscle this early in a cabinet in our lifetimes," Steffie gushed onair at ABC-TV.

THERE'S AN OLD SAYING: Once a Clinton factotum always a Clinton factotum: George Stephanopoulos transitioned into an ABC journo (without surgery--snix). He donated $75,000 to the Foundation and was deeply involved; Clinton Cash author, Schweizer, has been assembling the 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:

BACKSTORY CIRCA 2009---OBAMA TAKES OFFICE Seems phone calls were being made between Obama's then-COS Rahm Emanuel and ABC-TV's George Stephanopoulous.

Media Research President Brent Bozell, a vocal critic, made the claim that these were "strategy phone calls," and requested ABC to respond. "With each passing day, ABC's failure to speak to, and about, this issue tarnishes further the network's reputation as a legitimate news entity," Bozell writes.

ABC-TV responds to Brent Bozell

Dear Mr. Bozell,

Thank you for your letter regarding George Stephanopoulos. To be crystal clear, George Stephanopoulos does not advise Rahm Emanuel nor anyone else in the Obama Administration. He reports on the Obama Administration. He speaks to Mr. Emanuel, a friend he has know for nearly two decades, as a source, just as he speaks to countless sources across the political spectrum each and every day. That is his job as an anchor and reporter and one that he does according to the highest standards.

In your letter, and public utterances, you falsely assert that ABC News has been silent on this matter. That is simply untrue. Upon reading your press release last week, we reached out to the MRC to make it abundantly clear that you had totally mischaracterized the Politico story written by John Harris last Tuesday.

Indeed, Politico posted a story last Friday by Ben Smith pointing out exactly how badly you had mangled the facts. In that post, Harris stated that, " The calls are certainly a fascinating Washington ritual, but by no means do I think that George Stephanopoulos is participating in strategy sessions.

To my mind, he established his journalistic bona fides more than a decade ago, even as the Clinton administration was still underway, when he showed his willingness to report aggressively on Democrats as well as Republicans."

To give further lie to your claim that ABC News has not responded to your distortions, our senior vice president was quoted in the Politico story saying, "George speaks to Emanuel, but he speaks to plenty of conservatives and Republicans every single day -- that's part of his job.

The idea that there is some kind of daily conference call that George hops on is just nonsense and not true." Furthermore, last Friday, a reporter from CNS News, which was founded by you and continues to be directly affiliated with the MRC, contacted our media relations staff for a piece he'd been assigned to write on this very topic.

We cooperated immediately and provided him an on the record response. We have since learned from your reporter that his story was killed. You have said, "if the charges are false, provide the evidence. We will gladly accept it and consider the matter closed."

From the moment you issued your first press release on the Politico story last week - and numerous times since - we have made it clear to you and your staff that your assertions regarding Mr. Stephanopoulos and ABC News are false and based on a willful and knowing distortion of John Harris' original story.

Sincerely,

Kerry Smith, Senior Vice President
Editorial Quality, ABC News

The fact that Republicans will have anything to do with Democrat fake media outfits like ABC, much less with partisan hacks like Steponallofus, is just one of a billion data points that prove that we no longer have a “two-party system.”

It’s just more glaring evidence of the existence of the Uniparty.

Shoot, fifteen years ago at the Philly convention I observed with my own eyes and ears a personal encounter between Rove and Carville. Couldn’t have been cozier or more friendly. They were jokng around like old drinking buddies.

Clinton looks like Ted Kennedy in Rush’s crime family pic...

[Rumplemeyer]

I make a prediction, Hilary will raise Hundreds of Millions of dollars for Her “campaign”, when the roof falls in, she will blame ________ (fill in the blank, declare she is ending Her “campaign” and donate ALL campaign funds to charity.

Want to guess which charity that is?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Looks like Stepinawfulpis finally “stepped in it”.
