George should be handed his walking papers. You cannot objectively transition from politics to journalism, unless journalism is now the backbone and underlying force of politics.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airdvr 198 #4 May 17, 2015 I can see most here are hoping like George , that this just goes away. Stephanopoulos, ABC have not fully disclosed Clinton ties: Schweizer And even though he has apologized to his viewers for keeping this information from both his audience and his bosses, there is much that Stephanopoulos has yet to disclose to his viewers. Indeed, far from being a passive donor who strokes Clinton Foundation checks from afar, a closer look reveals that Stephanopoulos is an ardent and engaged Clinton Foundation advocate. For example, in his on air apology for this ethical mess, Stephanopoulos did not disclose that in 2006 he was a featured attendee and panel moderator at the annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). He did not disclose that in 2007, he was a featured attendee at the CGI annual meeting, a gathering also attended by several individuals I report on in Clinton Cash, including mega Clinton Foundation donors Lucas Lundin, Frank Giustra, Frank Holmes, and Carlos Slim — individuals whose involvement with the Clintons I assumed he had invited me on his program to discuss. Stephanopoulos did not disclose that he was a 2008 panelist at the CGI annual meeting which, once again, featured individuals I report on in the book, such as billionaire Clinton Foundation foreign donor Denis O'Brien. ABC's most visible news employee did not disclose that in 2009, he served as a panel moderator at CGI's annual meeting, nor did he disclose that in 2010 and 2011, he was an official CGI member. Stephanopoulos did not disclose that in 2013 and 2014, he and Chelsea Clinton served as CGI contest judges for awards, in part, underwritten by Laureate International Universities — a for-profit education company I report on in the book. Bill Clinton was on its payroll until his recent resignation. Obviously, Stephanopoulos has favorable feelings toward Hillary and Bill Clinton; he gives their foundation his money and his time. Big-time news media personalities have one thing in very short supply — time. Regular participation in Clinton Foundation events shows a deeper commitment to the Clintons than just the donations. http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2015/05/16/stephanopoulos-abc-clinton-schweizer-foundation-hillary-column/27436475/ Meet the new boss...Please don't dent the planet.

Andy9o8 0 #11 May 18, 2015 While I don't think it's quite as nefarious as someone's (anyone's) political opponents would naturally spin it, I have little sympathy for incompetence (or arrogance) committed by professional Big Leaguers who most certainly should know better. Kind of like smoking in a combat zone at night - don't be surprised when you take fire. George and his donees painted this bullseye on their asses, let them deal with the fallout.

Are you speaking to Stephie, ABC, or the liberal media in general? I'm referring, in this case, to any major league professional politician and/or professional political operative, of any party, in any of the major Western democracies. But frankly, I'm referring to any profession which is by nature adversarial - military officer, litigation attorney, sports team coach, whatever. Fuck up, and your opponents, if they're remotely competent, will hand you your head, and you'll have nobody to blame but yourself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
