Political donations taint Stephanopoulos’ standing
“I should have gone the extra mile to avoid even the appearance of a conflict. I apologize to all of you for failing to do that.”
George Stephanopoulos
ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos apologized to viewers again Sunday for not disclosing $75,000 in donations to the Clinton Foundation.
It is difficult to fathom how George Stephanopoulos can objectively cover the 2016 presidential election. He is obviously in the tank for Hillary Clinton.
At the very minimum, ABC News needs to yank him from participating in any political reporting.
David Neal Dankberg
Stephanopoulos, who anybody with half a brain knows is a longtime Clinton family friend, donated $75,000 to their foundation. Big whoop.
Brett Vredenburg
ABC News executives won’t fire or suspend Stephanopoulos. They need him, and they know that the vast majority of Americans don’t really care.
Many American news organi- zations have left the “independent” category and moved either to the right or left. They don’t stay in the middle, and this is just another example of it.
Hank Wilson
It is troubling beyond words to see that a top political journalist has hidden major conflicts of interest from viewers, in this case involving the significant relationship Stephanopoulos has with the Clinton Foundation.
It is particularly reprehensible because Stephanopoulos waged an attack on the professionalism and credibility of author Peter Schweizer in an effort to discredit and dismiss revelations in Schweizer’s book, “Clinton Cash.”
Ladislav Din
Brian Williams doesn’t look so bad after all. Much worse than fabricating dangers faced while reporting a news story is to be in bed with the Clintons.
Tommy Martin
Stephanopoulos should have been fired immediately!
He crossed the line between honest news and dishonest advocacy.
