The right is up in arms over last night’s debate: ABC News commentator George Stephanopoulos directed pointed, hard-edged questions to Republican presidential candidates during Saturday night’s New Hampshire debate, often attacking without providing evidence to justify his broadsides. When questioning former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Stephanopoulos, a former senior advisor in the administration of Democratic […]
George Stephanopoulos asks a great question while interviewing Timothy Geithner today: Stephanopoulos: How firm is the President’s commitment to this proposal? If, for example, the Congress passes an extension of the tax cuts for the wealthy, will the President veto it? Geithner: Again, what the President believes is the best strategy for the country is […]
Today is D-Day for General Stanley McChrystal. Catching up on the overnight and early morning news, I noticed two very interesting takes from one source – ABC. First off, here’s what George Stephanopoulos has to say: All of my reporting indicates President Obama truly hasn’t made up his mind, but my bet is Obama will follow Lincoln’s […]
George Stephanopoulos has “corrected” Rudy Giuliani’s statement that ‘no domestic terrorist attacks happened under Bush’. The two key changes are as follows. First the title: Then: Rudy Giuliani: ‘No Domestic Attacks Under Bush…. One Under Obama’ Now: Rudy Giuliani Wrong in Saying ‘No Domestic Attacks Under Bush’ And then George added in a new paragraph. […]
This has got me absolutely speechless: Mr. 9/11 himself, the man who was the mayor of the town that took the biggest hit on 9/11, is now denying it ever happened? “What [Obama] should be doing is following the right things Bush did. One of the right things he did was treat this as a […]
The Washington Post reports: ABC has offered George Stephanopoulos the coveted job of co-hosting “Good Morning America,” and intensive negotiations are under way, sources familiar with the situation said Thursday. While the network’s chief Washington correspondent has not yet accepted the job, he was in New York this week, as was Anne Sweeney, president of […]
I been watching this debate on ABC and it is by far the worse ever. First half was no policy questions at all – just made up controversies by the media. ABC, Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos should be publicly flogged for it. I think it’s also weird that Stephanopoulos is a moderator. He was […]
This is a stunning fact Salon has posted: […]The League of Conservation Voters analyzed transcripts of TV interviews and debates with the Democratic and Republican candidates. The interviews were conducted by CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, MSNBC’s Tim Russert, Fox News’ Chris Wallace and CBS’s Bob Schieffer. As of Jan. 25, these five prime-time […]
For our military that is. He told George Stephanopoulos this morning that he doesn’t think it’s write for Petraeus to have to prove progress to the Congress this September. Yeah – let’s not have any kind of tests or benchmarks for Iraq. That is basically the same strategy George Bush has used, the same strategy […]
This is been a real interesting weekend in news from Iraq. Not only have we lost 16 soldiers since Friday, but there has been a lot of back and forth regarding the “progress” of the surge. Here is what today’s New York Times is reporting: Three months after the start of the Baghdad security plan […]
