ABC News Anchor George Stephanopoulos Donated $50,000 to Clinton Foundation
Washington Free Beacon ^ | May 14, 2015 | By Andrew Stiles

Posted on 05/14/2015 9:04:11 AM PDT by Brad from Tennessee

ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos donated $50,000 to the Clinton Foundation in recent years, records show. The contribution is publicly available information, but the host had not previously disclosed it to ABC viewers, despite taking part in on-air discussions about the Clinton Foundation and its controversial relationship with foreign donors.

Stephanopoulos, a former aide to President Bill Clinton, confirmed the donation to POLITICO’s Dylan Byers after the Free Beacon contacted ABC News for comment. The host, who acknowledged making two donations of $25,000 between 2013 and 2014, issued a statement of apology for failing to disclose his contributions.

Stephanopoulos’s recent coverage of the topic has been challenged by critics who question his objectivity as a longtime Clinton aide. The host’s April 26 interview with Clinton Cash author Peter Schweizer, for example, elicited partisan reactions after Stephanopoulos repeatedly pressed the Schweizer to acknowledge the lack of a “smoking gun” among the allegations in his book. . .

I know I sound like a cranky old man.....but is everyone in the media bought and sold ? Not that I ever believed Mr Steph....was ever fair and balanced....but it takes a lot of you know what to pretend to be a journalist.

I’m preaching to the choir I know

He’s been a clinton butt boy since day 1 and never left that status even when he left the fold.

Here is a great idea. Why not have Stephanopolous moderate a Clinton debate?

Pick an ABC sponsor and start the boycott. He will be gone by Sunday.

He should be fired for such a blatant conflict of interest, but when the networks create entire fictional series (The West Wing/Madame Secretary) as blatant idealizations of Democratic politicians, this will get a slap on the wrist at worst.

Too bad that Schweizer didn't this information before the interview. It would have been a priceless moment in TV journalism.

Agree. Wonder how Free Beacon had it, and Schweizer did not.

Never was a journalist.

He's as much a journalist as is Chelsea Clinton What's Her Name! (/sarc)

Anybody that actually watches that little worm has attained a rare state of gullibility/complicity.

I for one, am SHOCKED!

I thought George was still on the Clinton payroll, not a donor.

So why is he donating now? I have to assume there is something in it for him, as with all big donors.

You’re not cranky...you like me and so many of us, are tired of the rhetoric and mendacious reporting and same for the speeches. I suggest we sit back and see when Mrs. C. finds her health too delicate to run any longer and enjoy the theater of a Black Conservative getting chewed up by hypocritical nits on the left....Dr. Carson is showing some real American grit!!!
