Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | George Stephanopolous Didn't Disclose His Big Donations to the Clinton Foundation -- Even When He Was Attacking Peter Schweitzer On His Connections to the RightThey behave dishonestly and venally because they follow a Higher Ethics. Stephanopoulos, a former aide to President Bill Clinton, confirmed the donation to POLITICO’s Dylan Byers after the Free Beacon contacted ABC News for comment. The host acknowledged making two donations of $25,000 between 2013 and 2014. Stephanopoulos issued a statement apologizing for failing to disclose the donation. "I made charitable donations to the Foundation in support of the work they're doing on global AIDS prevention and deforestation, causes I care about deeply," Stephanopolous said. "I thought that my contributions were a matter of public record. However, in hindsight, I should have taken the extra step of personally disclosing my donations to my employer and to the viewers on air during the recent news stories about the Foundation. I apologize."And that's it, huh? Every day these filthy motherf***ers do far worse than, say, the Tobacco Executives they all castigated. They behave exactly like shifty executives of a corrupt corporation, hiding the truth from the public, because that's exactly what they are. Update: "Honest mistake," says ABC, after a long investigation that took four minutes.

Next we'll find out he's not an impartial journalist but rather a Clinton machine political hack whose whole goal in life is to destroy republicans.
Definitely the kind of guy who should be moderating republican debates. Maybe we can see if the democrats are OK with rush Limbaugh moderating their primary debates... Posted by: mynewhandle at May 14, 2015 10:20 AM (AkOaV) 9

They forgive him because they know Stephanopolous is/has always been a political operative while working for them. Not like he joined the network under false pretenses.
Heck, he even said early on in Obama's admin that he still has daily calls w/Rahm Emmanuel, Paul Begala, and snakehead. Daily calls w/three active political consultants, one of 'em turned WH chief of staff. So ABC benefits from Stephy's connections to get stories, curry favor w/the WH.

Yet - when they should obviously disclose something (not because there is a legal reason to do so), but a professional reason, they just forget. Posted by: SH at May 14, 2015 10:30 AM (gmeXX) 63
If there ever is another Republican administration, they should pull all the press passes from the MSM and offer them to a bunch of smaller outfits across the country that have shown at least some minimal level of skill at reporting (including bloggers across the political spectrum).

And then when insisted that Hillary had some emails she was hiding? Her people looked at everything and turned over all the relevant documents. How embarrassing was that?

Charitable donations are reported to the IRS if the filer wants to take the deduction

If abc was cool with him coordinating with Obama campaign in NH in 2012 and on starting the campaign strategy / narrative of a war on women, I don't think donating $50k to Hillary is going to bother them at all.

How does a donation to the Clinton Uranium Money (CUM) fundchange anyone's perception?
Posted by: Bandersnatch It's the hypocrisy of accusing Schweitzer of bias for not disclosing his "ties" to the right, while he himself was not disclosing that he made a 50 grand donation to the very "charity" he was defending. It's rather a clear-cut case that not even LIVs could ignore--if only someone would tell them. Posted by: Turd Ferguson at May 14, 2015 11:02 AM (VAsIq) 241

Yeah, I'm with Bandersnatch here. How does one measure or perceive marginal, additional conflict of interest (in this case the proper word would be extreme bias or lack of professionalism) in this case? Stuffenenvelopes has always been a ridiculous figure as a media person, esp. of course in any political context. Yawwnnnn. Oh sure go ahead and stir up the dust about this, why not. But so long as the "opposition" party types running for prez are so dopey and clueless that they don't attack, refute, dismantle, and playfully mock the "press" every time it's called for, none of it matters.
