ABC News actually responds to Free Beacon inquiry

ABC News policy required that George Stephanopolous disclose his contributions to the Clinton Foundation to management before covering stories related to it, according to an ABC spokesman who responded to a Washington Free Beacon inquiry.

“Staff need to disclose personal donations to a charitable organization to us before covering a story related to that organization,” said Julie Townsend, who heads ABC’s news communications. “He had not disclosed the Foundation donations to us before he interviewed Peter Schweizer,” the author of Clinton Cash.

Former ABC news anchor Carole Simpson said her old colleague George Stephanopoulos “really is not a journalist” on CNN’s Reliable Sources Sunday, adding the network had placed itself in a quandary by placing the ex-Clinton aide in such a prominent position.

Do you think ABC would try to pass off Dick Cheney as an 'objective journalist'?

Never

ABC's a bunch of liars... they knew George was a dirty trickster of the Nixon variety... they might as well be doctoring tapes like NBC... or pushing fake documents like Dan Rather... liars. Lowlife liars... liberal elites propped up by black inner city criminals.

"ABC - Playing Americans for Fools..."

I hope ABC fights for him. He is indefensible. Smart Conservatives and Republicans SHOULD be moving to make an example of him and DESTROY him.

He is pretending to be a newsman, but he really is a partisan hack. He must be obliterated. He should be running some medium size city's mayor's campaign, not anchoring national news.

Is news reading so hard to do, that only political hacks are available to do the job?

No doubt ABC considered the Georgio hire a biggie.

Maybe ABC even got the Clintons to ok the hire?

George screwed ABC bigtime---acting like a whore without a STD shot.

Georgio CHOSE to interview expose author, Peter Schweizer, knowing full well he had donated them and participated in some of their cash collection orgies.
