Dylan Byers of Politico reports: ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos has given $50,000 to the Clinton Foundation in recent years, charitable contributions that he did not publicly disclose while reporting on the Clintons or their non-profit organization, (snip) Stephanopoulos should not have been allowed to conduct that interview (Peter Schweizer, Clinton Cash), and his non-disclosure suggests that he is not worthy of trust by his employer or viewers.

How can Georgie possibly interview any Republican candidates given his relationship with the Clinton's?

Yes. The interesting thing is that during the Schweizer interview, Georgie asked how Schweizer could rationally claim independence since he once worked as George Bush's speechwriter. All the while, Georgie clams up about his own donations to the Clinton Foundation, not to mention his ties to Bill and Hillary. ABC only went to Politico when the Washington Free Beacon called ABC to ask them about this conflict of interest. ABC wanted a "friendly" spin on this deception.

Also keep in mind that in 2012, Georgie was the first to ask Romney about contraception when no one in the country was even discussing the issue. Even before this interaction was complete, the Dem party came out with the line that Republicans were against contraception. Georgie was obviously taking his marching orders from the Dems in asking the question.

Yes, in several capacities, the last being Senior Advisor for Policy and Strategy.
A few more facts: Stephanopoulos was introduced to Transcendental Meditation by Jerry Seinfeld.
In 1995, after a collision with a parked vehicle as he was pulling out of a parking space in front of a restaurant in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C.,[34] Stephanopoulos was arrested and charged with leaving the scene of an accident and driving with an expired license and license plates.
In 1994, columnist Jack Anderson reported that Stephanopoulos sealed an $835,000 commercial real estate deal consisting of a two-story apartment including an eyeware retailer with a below-market loan rate from a bank owned by Hugh McColl who had been called by President Clinton "the most enlightened banker in America".

Do you clowns even watch his show? If anything, he leans a little to the right (maybe trying to compensate for his natural leaning slightly to the left). He has guests from both sides of the aisle on his show and always gives plenty of talk time to the right.

Never realized that what an individual news anchor did with HIS money on HIS OWN CHOOSING would affect how he conducts a political opinion show. Does it get your panties in a wad if he donates to the Boys and Girls Club?

Georgie leans to the right? Lol. ABC apologized for his lack of disclosure. It was an obvious conflict of journalistic integrity. No one in their right mind can think he will be fair to any republican in 2016 in the race against Hillary. He needs to recuse himself.

So it's ok if George keeps his job, right?

It's OK with me if he keeps his job. I know where he his coming from and where is allegiance is. Millions of others are clueless and just chuckle along with him, I don't happen to be that naive. I'm sure you would say the same about Sean Hannity. The big difference is that Hannity does not hide his bias.

I watch that show on Sunday morning that is definitely Lefty. Which show are you watching? The Sunday show usually has a rather moderate right lean representative. George doesn't try to show himself as balanced when the Right lean hits a chord. He gets rather irate and goes to commercial.
