Stephanopoulos Another Example Of Revolving Door Journalism (lefty tap-dancer extraordinaire)

Stephanopoulos' gift to the Clinton Foundation says a lot---the MSM is dominated by the left. Stephanopoulos poses as an objective journalist when, in fact, his entire background has been hard-left political.....he finally made it in Bill Clinton's 1991 campaign. In "The War Room," a 1993 documentary of that race, Stephanopoulos comes across as politically ruthless.....he menacingly says: "I guarantee if you do this, you'll never work in Democratic politics again." He was 30 years old. In the WH, Stephanopoulos was a spinmeister par excellence, dealing with Clinton's scandals — bimbo eruptions, Whitewater, Travelgate, Filegate, Nannygate, coptergate—etc.

When former FBI agent Gary Aldrich's "Unlimited Access," chronicled the Clinton White House, Stephanopoulos attacked. He called Aldrich a "pathological liar" and pressured ABC's "Nightline," CNN's "LKL" and "Dateline NBC" to cancel Aldrich appearances.

Stephanopoulos became the objective journalist w/ a little tap dancing. He quit in 1996 after losing a bruising battle to become Clinton's COS. The highly partisan lefty was hired by ABC News in 1997 as a news analyst. In 1999, he completed rehab in his confessional titled, "All Too Human: A Political Education"...wherein he offered mild criticisms of the Clintons. That did the trick for ABC-TV. In 2002, he became anchor of ABC's "This Week."

....his donation to the Clinton Foundation is emblematic of Washington's revolving-door journalism and pervasive left-wing bias. Media Research Center estimated that 30 Obama admin members either had gone into journalism or from journalism into the WH. Remember that as you read or watch the news.

6. But the grand nostrum will be a public debt…

11. As soon as sufficient progress in the intended change shall have been made, and the public mind duly prepared according to the rules already laid down, it will be proper to venture on another and a bolder step toward a removal of the constitutional landmarks.

They force the business channel folks to admit to investing in stock, if they are talking about it. Why not make a simple rule if you are a journalist and donate any money to anything (not just political thugs)....then toss up a screen listing of your donations over $250.

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......

========================================================

BACKSTORY 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.

No revolving door. No door. They are all in the same room.

After all this, yet Mitch McConnel still appeared on his show this weekend. The GOP leadership is in on the game.

Wish it had a TRAP DOOR

Stephanoupoulus would be much better suited for Dancing with the Stars than he ever was for reporting news. If he is not fired, any remaining credibility, integrity or ethics by the ABC network will be permanently lost. He’s no better than Brian Williams or Dan Rather.

[MamaDearest]

McConnell and Boehner are undercover democrat operatives (just like Stephanopoulus). It explans their continual and unwaivering partisanship with democrats.

[GOPJ]

It's not even a revolving door on this one - Stephanopoulos was NEVER a journalist to start with.

He's always been a democrat operative.

It was his 'war room' that came up with the tactic of sending fake letters to the editor and other dirty tricks that would make Nixon blush.

ABC needs to find out if he lied about 'the research'....

[Liz]

Excellent insights.

Thanks Liz. He never was a journalist. He has to go, but so do the members of Journolist -- have they been blackballed? Or given nice raises?
