After admitting that he gave some $75,000 to the Clinton Foundation, George Stephanopoulos, the “objective” news anchor from ABC News, apologized on-air for failing to disclose the donations on Friday, even as he interviewed Clinton Cash author and Breitbart Senior Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer about Clinton Foundation fundraising improprieties.
He said, “Even though I made them strictly to support work done to stop the spread of AIDS, help children, and protect the environment in poor countries, I should have gone the extra mile to avoid even the appearance of a conflict. I apologize to all of you for failing to do that.”
But Stephanopoulos’ relationship with the Clinton Foundation goes far beyond merely signing some checks. He’s been a featured face for the Clinton Foundation for years. At the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting in 2006, Stephanopoulos was listed as a featured attendee, alongside figures like King Abdullah II of Saudi Arabia, President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan, and UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan. Of course, so were CNN “objective” news anchor Christiane Amanpour, CNN “objective” news anchor Fareed Zakaria, and Yahoo News “objective” news anchor Katie Couric.
In 2007, Stephanopoulos was a featured attendee once again.
In 2008, Stephanopoulos was a panelist for the CGI, discussing “Education and the Struggle for Peace and Stability” alongside Christiana A.M. Thorpe of the National Electoral Commission, Wyclef Jean, and Zainab Salbi of Women for Women International.
