ABC host George Stephanopoulos showed up on O’Reilly’s show Monday night with a news flash: Americans want more government spending. And, oh, by the way, that staggering debt is all George Bush’s fault.
We were just beginning to think that liberals had finally put the “It’s George Bush’s fault” meme out to pasture. But then ABC host George Stephanopoulos showed up on O’Reilly’s show Monday night with a news flash:
Americans want more government spending. And, oh, by the way, that staggering debt is all George Bush’s fault.
Embarrassing. Absolutely embarrassing.

Adding Clinton crony George Stephanopoulos to the anchor desk at ABC’s Good Morning America did nothing for the show’s ratings. Nothing good, that is.
Adding Clinton crony George Stephanopoulos to the anchor desk at ABC’s Good Morning America did nothing for the show’s ratings. Nothing good, that is.
Breitbart reports:
Preliminary numbers from Nielsen Co. show that his first day on “Good Morning America” on Monday had questionable impact on the audience size. NBC’s “Today” beat “Good Morning America” by 1.3 million viewers, widening its advantage from last week’s average margin of 1.1 million viewers.
Nielsen says Monday’s audience for “Today” was 5.9 million viewers, while “GMA” had 4.6 million viewers.
Earlier this month, “Today” marked 14 years of winning each week in the ratings.
Stephanopoulos, taking over from Diane Sawyer at the “GMA” anchor desk, is partnered with Robin Roberts.

President Obama hit ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday as part of his Talk Tour 2009. Host George Stephanopoulos actually had the nerve to challenge the President. He took the obvious position that a mandate forcing individuals to obtain health insurance coverage is a tax.
President Obama hit ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday as part of his Talk Tour 2009. Host George Stephanopoulos actually had the nerve to challenge the President. No, seriously, he did.
Stephanopoulos took the obvious position that a mandate forcing individuals to obtain health insurance coverage is a tax.
Stephanopoulos: That may be, but it’s still a tax increase.
Obama: No. That’s not true, George. The… ?for us to say that you’ve got to take a responsibility to get health insurance is absolutely not a tax increase. What it’s saying is, is that we’re not going to have other people carrying your burdens for you anymore than the fact that… right now everybody in America, just about, has to get auto insurance. Nobody considers that a tax increase. People say to themselves, that is a fair way to make sure that if you hit my car, that I’m not covering all the costs.
Stephanopoulos: But it may be fair, it may be good public policy…
Obama: No, but… but, George, you… you can’t just make up that language and decide that that’s called a tax increase. Any…
Stephanopoulos: Here’s the…
Katie Couric may never win the ratings, but who cares? She just took home a coveted Cronkite Award (which we assume is called a “Wally” by TV insiders).
Couric’s Wally was presented for “her revealing, multi-part interview of Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.”
The Wallies are awarded twice each year by the USC Annenberg School for Communication. They are named in honor of Walter Cronkite, once known as “the most trusted man in America.”
Couric won her award in the category “Special Achievement for National Impact on the 2008 Campaign.” Judges said the interview was a “defining moment in the 2008 presidential campaign.” But they didn’t stop here. No siree, Bob. They also called it “extraordinary, persistent and detailed.”
Other winners included ABC’s George Stephanopolous, who eked out a narrow win in the category “Best Achievement in Hair” and CBS’ Bob Schieffer, who took home a Wally in the category “Most Likely to Keel Over Dead In the Middle of a Story.”
All in all, it was an exciting evening for one and all.

Three days ago in Buffalo, NY, Muzzammil Hassan sawed the head off his wife Aasiya Hassan — we’re going to say it — Islamofascist-style in a gift to the press that’s normally insatiable for this type of story. Ironically, Mr. Hassan is the founder of Bridges TV network, formed to improve the image of Muslim-Americans in the U.S. So where’s the story?
Conservative commentators knew there would be just token press, and they were proven right. If it were a Christian (or any non-media-protected group), it would have been all over television and print media. But, just three days out, and we see that not only does the poor wife no longer have a head, but the story has no legs. Continue reading “Story of Buffalo beheading has no legs”
Ignoring the fact that Republicans were shut out of writing the “stimulus” bill, George Stephanopoulos said Sunday that President Obama has been too bi-partisan.
“Some White House officials I talk to concede that he put too much emphasis on ‘non-partisan nirvana’ rather than on getting the job done,” Stephanopoulos said.
Then Stephanopoulos momentarily lost concentration and gave a more realistic assessment. “Because the White House set the goal of bi-partisanship, maybe even 80 Senate votes, this does have the feel of a failure, even though it’s a great success.”
Please allow us to make a pithy observation.
“The difference between the Obama administration and the Reagan administration? One has the fear of failure. The other had a failure of fear.
You can quote us.
As the sun comes up each morning, Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s chief of staff, calls his pals in the media – CNN’s James Carville and Paul Begala, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, and pollster Stan Greenberg.
That was no problem last month, but Emanuel is now President Obama’s Chief of Staff, and the calls have now taken on an air of conspiracy. Where’s the shock and outrage and the suggestion that Emanuel is coordinating media coverage?
From our perspective, two things surprise us about this story.
First, that no one has objected to this “cozy” relationship between the president’s chief of staff and members of the media.
And second, that Emanuel has four friends.
George Stephanopoulos, host of This Week on ABC, makes us fondly recall the days when masculinity was measured by how many times a man could jump up and down on Oprah’s couch while sporting a maniacal grin.
George’s wife, Ali Wentworth, told Obama sycophant Oprah Winfrey, “We watched everything and George was still doing all the anchoring for ABC and as soon Beyonce said ‘At Last’ George called me at home and he went, ‘Honey?’ and I said ‘I know!’ and we both started crying.”
Completely unsubstantiated reports say Stephanopoulos’ tears were triggered by his frequent, vivid flashbacks of Hilary screaming at him during his days in the Clinton White House.
