...an acknowledgment of how courageous Stephanopoulos was to put O’Keefe and me on the air in the first place

OK - it took courage. But members of the MSM who don't throw a few bones to their viewers are going under. So it was courage - but it was also a logical bid for credibility and ratings - for ABC and for Stephanopoulos...

ABC couldn’t afford a third “guest” chair?

I don’t think it was any great act of courage or integrity on G.S’s part, but Breitbart is smart enough to butter him with bulls**t so he has access to him and the MSM megaphone.

Stephanopoulos may have some input into who goes on the show but for the most part I think the producers call the shots.
