Time for ABC to Send George Stephanopoulos Packing

One of the most critical aspects of a journalist's credibility is his ability to at least appear to be objective. So what happens when one of the biggest names in network journalism George Stephanopoulos host of ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" is revealed to be in constant contact with other former Clinton Administration advisors using their collective knowledge and political acumen to aid President Obama's Chief of Staff in performing his job?

The answer to that question will reveal just how dedicated the management of ABC is to the basic tenets of objective journalism; dedicated or contemptuous.

Anyone know how to run an online petition?

Time to fight fire with fire. George Stephanopoulos must go!

“The answer to that question will reveal just how dedicated the management of ABC is to the basic tenets of objective journalism”

OK, this is a joke, right?

[An Old Man]

George is just one of the useful idiots. He will be gone when he is no longer useful. ABC is just one of the propaganda organs of the Socialist Party. It reminds me of Pravda.

Rush said today that Rahm has a daily call with Begala and Stevie! Imagine that. The White House telling the free press what to write and say.

UGH -this is a nightmare and its only been nine days

[Sudetenland]

What? Joke? Moi?

Actually I am calling them on their bluff. The Libtards are attacking Rush through an official arm of the DNC. Why shouldn't Conservatives respond in kind?

[anniegetyourgun]

Let me get ths straight - you think a petition is going to get rid of Steponallofus?

[Williams]

The reporters won’t wear American flag pins but they will actively participate in the Obama government.

[shempy]

Raise hell, write letters, but please don’t bother with online petitions. Online petitions are as meaningless as online polls are. I actually think they are worse. The digital equivalent of holding your breath and stomping your feet.

[John W]

I meant the specific line I quoted. We know the answer to that already.

[Sudetenland]

Whatever. Stomp your feet and dance a jig, just...let’s attack for a change. I’m tired of being nice and simply taking it without responding in kind.

[Glenn]

George Stephanopoulos must go!

You're delusional. Sammy Donaldson was a pox upon the earth for endless years and he was only twice as offensive as George Stuffituphisass.

“Rush said today that Rahm has a daily call with Begala and Stevie! Imagine that. The White House telling the free press what to write and say.

UGH -this is a nightmare and its only been nine days”

...And I would be willing to bet that there are more than just 4 people on that call. I am sure that Wolf Blitzed, Keith O, Chris M, and many others are on there.

Who cares what ABC does? Anyone who pays any attention to anything produced by their "news" division is an idiot.

ML/NJ

[Shqipo]

This blew me away when Rush said it on his show. What's next, one will host the evening news and moonlight in the Obambi cabinet? Everyday the MSM’s slow death goes on is joy to my senses.

[rebapiper]

He is one of the Clinton gang. This useless human may have a purpose once again, obama needs the news media to keep reporting his lies and con games. All he had to do is show up for the drugs and party time.
When will he every wright a book and tell the truth about
some of the things that happened in the White House and out side of the White House. Who killed M M, remember, the girl that was going to spill the beans on Clinton, They gunned her down at Starbucks, oops, wrong girl, it was Monica Luwinsky instead.

[motor_racer]

Stepinapileofthis is not, and never has been, a journalist. He is a political operative and consultant who gained some celebrity working for Bill Clinton, primarily in the first presidential campaign.

So long as ABC gives him air time, we continue to see that ABC is not reporting, but has taken a position as an advocate.

Advocacy is not journalism. And this is why the MSM is dying.

[lilylangtree]

Abso”friggin”lutely! However, I’m still wondering whatever happen to that petition to take back the Nobel from that “how much will it cost to make you play nice” Jimmah Cahter.

[Sudetenland]

A lot of folks watch him and I would be willing to bet that many, if not most, of them believe him to be "objective." My point is to stir up a little controversy and maybe cause ABC some grief.

Wishful thinking? Probably, but until we Conservatives begin to fight back against the Leftist bias of these programs and their hosts, we will continue to see the sort of attacks against our politicians by the press continue unabated.

I like the idea of using the Left's tactics against them.

[R_Kangel]

"..let’s attack for a change. I’m tired of being nice and simply taking it without responding in kind.

I agree! Just as during the Bush years the electorate was easily swayed by every conspiracy theory and gossip about Bush, Cheney, Halliburton etc.

If we scream loud enough and long enough, can you imagine how people would respond to, not conspiracy theories, but something new called "The Truth!"

The Obummer administration needs to realize that they are not just the leader of a Liberal Socialist electorate, but they also need to answer to the likes of conservatives and Republicans.
