ABC has plenty of reasons to be freaking out over the George Stephanopoulos scandal — 105?million, to be exact.
The “Good Morning America” and “This Week” anchor renewed his contract last year for $105 million, TV industry sources told The Post Monday.
The seven-year deal — which dwarfs the five-year, $50 million contract scored by since-suspended NBC rival Brian Williams — was supposed to keep Stephanopoulos in front of ABC’s cameras through 2021.
But now his credibility, and future, have been called into question since he admitted Friday that he had donated $75,000 to the Clinton Foundation since 2011, just as the presidential race gears up with Hillary Rodham Clinton the leading Democrat.
In a mea culpa delivered Sunday on “This Week,” Stephanopoulos, who was also a top aide in President Bill Clinton’s White House, said the gifts “were a matter of public record, but I should have made additional disclosures on air when we covered the foundation.”
It was his second on-air apology in less than a week.

Anyone ever connected with the Clinton Crime Syndicate has the odor of corruption clinging to them and should never be trusted. They lie, cheat and steal to acquire power over the ignorant.
ABC announced George will not participate in GOP debates but Reince Priebus declared this a while back. Did ABC not investigate George's odd a weird line of questioning of Mitt Romney?
OUTSTANDING POST BY FREEPER TRAVIS MCGEE: "Most viewers of the New Hampshire Republican primary debate, wondered why ABC-NEWS debate moderator George Stephanopoulos kept asking seemingly off-topic questions about the candidates’ views."
Georgio's "gotcha" question to Obama's opponent, Mr Romney, about birth control lasted weeks on the news cycle even though it was not an issue anywhere in the US.
We now understand White House War Room “General” Valerie Jarrett had been coaching hard-left suckups like Georgio to deliver the administration's “talking points” and strategic memes via the debate format....colluding in the effort to dupe America voters.
Clearly Democrat suck-up boychik Georgio (now an ABC-TV journo), who was a ruthless factotum in the Clinton White House, did not just happen to pick destructive debate questions. He was coached by cunning Obama White House conspirators......
For the life of me I can’t figure out what the appeal of this midget is.
I haven’t heard it mentioned in years, but Stephanopoulos is the son of a Greek Orthodox priest. He’s spent almost thirty years pushing Partial Birth Abortion—because that’s ultimately what anyone who promotes the Rapist stands for.

George Stephanopoulos/ABC/GE...democrat media propagandists/money laundering...the picture comes into better focus day by day.
In most businesses, whoever made a $105MM mistake would be summarily canned.
LOL- LOL
“made a misssssstake”
do you think it is a mistake?-
let’s go to NBC- think it was a mistake Chelsea
was paid - (who knows for sure- maybe $500K a week?)
Nope, the Demonrats and some repugs are a criminal enterprise- shaking down the americans, and any company
that has a few dollars.
I wonder what favors The Mouse receives around the globe for paying The Clinton Short Boy 105 million?
Could be his tight connection to the klintoons? I mean we are talking about money, right? Truth and integrity have long left the MSM.
$$$$ or Where was GEORGE when Vince Foster found his way to the park? A person being blackmailed does curious things
I mean the appeal to viewers.
The networks wanted all of the advertising that was to be purchased from the TARP slush fund. They have to pay to play.
Not sure what the big deal is, everyone in the MSM works for the Dems in one way or the other.
The dems of course.
Never forget the dems practice the Marxist ploy of “the end justifies the means”.
Who is that politician being asked to resign (this week) when it was found that he accepted a donation from - gasp - his brother?
Scandalous.
Of course, he’s a republican - zero tolerance.
The Clinton’s. Georgie? MEGA PASS
