Stephanopoulos appears next to Hillary Clinton, her arm draped over him, and the image caption dubs him her “Pay Pal.”

Stephanopoulos, who used to work in Bill Clinton’s White House, did not disclose his donations to the Clinton Foundation when discussing that very subject during a hostile interview with Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer.

That Half-Hearted Apology Isn’t Going to Suffice If He Wants to Keep His Anchor Chair
Posted: May 16, 2015 Filed under: Mediasphere, Politics, U.S. News | Tags: ABC News, Bill Clinton, Clinton Foundation, George Stephanopoulos, Good Morning America, New York City, Peter Schweizer, This Week (ABC TV series) Leave a commentCloaked in Charity, George Gives His Critics The Finger
Lloyd Grove writes: You see, Good Morning America host George Stephanopoulos was just too darned generous to poor kids and AIDS victims.
In a non-apology apology that is unlikely to appease the referees of press ethics, let alone his Republican detractors—and may just baffle morning television viewers who haven’t paid attention to the blossoming scandal within the media-political complex—the former top aide to Bill and Hillary Clinton put the very best face possible on his lapse in judgment in not disclosing $75,000 in donations to the Clinton Foundation when he conducted a contentious April 26 interview with foundation critic Peter Schweizer on This Week With George Stephanopoulos, ABC News’s Sunday show.

Although Stephanopoulos’s case is very different from—and nowhere near as serious as—the embellishments of suspended NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams, his explanation of his mistake on Friday morning was much in the same vein as Williams’s claim last February that he made up a story about a helicopter ride in Iraq simply in an innocent, good-hearted attempt to honor America’s fighting men and women.

Kerry Complains About Putin’s Aggression
Posted: March 2, 2014 Filed under: Diplomacy, War Room | Tags: George Stephanopoulos, John Kerry, Kerry, President of Russia, RUSSIA, Ukraine, Vladimir Putin, White House 3 Comments
Russian President Vladimir Putin: Why is this man smiling? Look out, Western leaders, there’s a new Bad Boy on the block, and he gets to do what he wants. He wants to invade Ukraine. So? You gotta problem with that?
Secretary of State John Kerry, speaking to former Clinton White House Press Secretary George Stephanopoulos, on ABC’s Sunday talk show This Week, complained about Russian president Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, grumbling about Putin’s “brazen act of aggression.”
“It’s a 19th-century act in the 21st century that really puts at question Russia’s capacity to be within the G-8”
Kerry had to respond to the question on everyone’s mind. Will Putin pay a price for his petulant plunge into sovereign territory?
Kerry carefully avoided saying anything offensive.
“We’re busy right now coordinating with our counterparts in many parts of the world…we don’t want this to be a larger confrontation…”
Kerry said that the president is “keeping all options on the table”, though Kerry’s phrasing is recognized by everyone, including Putin, as empty rhetoric when spoken by President Obama, or Secretary of State Kerry. Leaders east and west understand that the White House has no intentions of using any option other than diplomatic, though for the sake of appearances, it’s customary to signal that other options are being considered.
“We call on Russia to engage with the government of the Ukraine. We’re prepared to work very closely with Russia in order to address whatever legitimate concerns may exist…”
Note: Kerry’s bland answers and uninteresting quotes can be attributed to the lack of serious questions and probing redirects. While Kerry accepted invitations to appear on on each network news show this Sunday, he declined an invitation from Fox News Sunday, understandably preferring not to answer challenging questions from respected host and formidable interviewer Chris Wallace.
