For Heaven’s Sake…
By Mitch Berg
…don’t you dare claim the media is biased to the left.
That Gorgeous George – let’s not forget, a former Clinton chief of staff and lifelong Democrat apparatchik – is a “journo” who’s in the bag for the left should surprise nobody who had been paying attention for this past twenty-odd years.
The real question, to me? What percentage of other movers and shakers at the Big Three, the big Newspapers, and NPR/CPB are, if not in the same fiscal weight class as Stephanopoulos, at least intellectually just as far in the bag?
My educated guess is “just short of all of them”, but I can be convinced either way.

But don’t worry, the ABC “Ethics Czar” says it’s OK ( http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/05/14/george-stephanopoulos-gave-75-000-to-the-clintons-and-didn-t-declare-it.html ). I am so reassured.

Really, the big thing you need to know to know he’s in the bag for one side is not his work for the Clintons or his contributions to their foundation. It’s that he made a huge deal out of someone with political connections publishing something without admitting he had the same kind of connections.
Honestly, when you lead with a hypocritical genetic fallacy, I think it’s safe to conclude that you don’t have a whole lot of value to say here.
