George Stephanopoulos has forfeited all trust as a newsman
New York Post ^ | May 16, 2015 | Michael Goodwin

My, my, the bigger they are, the dumber they think we are.

Dan Rather of CBS was toppled by a phony document scam. Lyin’ Brian Williams at NBC casually mixed fact with self-aggrandizing fiction. Now George Stephanopoulos is caught in a Clinton web of deceit at ABC.

The hat trick of arrogant anchor scandals helps explain why Americans don’t trust network news. With apologies to Walter Cronkite, that’s the way it is, and the way it is stinks.

Stephanopoulos shares with Rather and Williams the rotten distinction of fessing up only after being exposed by real journalists. In his case, the Washington Free Beacon uncovered his secret donations to the Clinton Foundation and contacted ABC for a response.

And why, exactly, should George Stephanopoulos have ANY credibility as a newsman or journalist? This guy is a political hack and propagandist. He's in the same league as Joseph Goebbels’ the Völkischer Beobachter (People's Observer) when it comes to telling the truth..

Many people were ahead of the curve on this discredit issue and knew from the outset that tiny George was a political hack masquerading as a journalist hack without credentials.

Did you know that all democrap journalist and pundits have to clause in their contract that they don’t reveal their political bias?

Now all we need to find out is how many more of them have made the mistake of donating to the Clinton Foundation and the liberals will have no one able to moderate and interrogate republicans in the debates.

Gotta say one thing for those folks. When they hitch their wagon to a star they stay hitched. They all need to go away. Orange jump suits for the lot of them.

Just as Air America collapsed under its lack of viewers and bs programming, as MSNBC is doing now, these networks will fade away too.

Ironically, the only reason networks exist is government regulations. Back in the early days of radio, it was technically feasible for a single station to cover the entire country with its antenna pattern. Each station could have been heard coast-to-coast, border-to-border. However, the then-Federal Radio Commission (forerunner of the FCC) decided, in its wisdom, that radio would replace newspapers, therefore each station should serve its locality, like newspapers did, instead of covering the nation. Regulations scattered stations throughout the country on the same frequency, and limited power to avoid interference.

Well, how do you fill all those transmitter hours with programming? The answer was, set up a studio on New York, have some kind of performance there, and transmit it to stations across the country via telephone lines. The stations would rebroadcast this programming for their locality. The stations signing up for a particular menu of programming became a "network." When TV came along, this model was replicated, using coaxial cable and waveguides instead of telephone lines.

So we ended up with lots of stations, each broadcasting the same thing at the same time, instead of a few stations, each broadcasting something different but nationwide. Just one more example of the arrogance of government planners.
