The text at the bottom of the April 4, 1994 Time Magazine cover says: "White House Senior Advisor George Stephanopolous with President Clinton in the Oval Office".
Whenever the story is media bias, the web site to go to is Newsbusters.
First article:
ABC news host George Stephanopoulos admitted Thursday he had donated $75,000 to the Clinton Foundation and did not disclose this conflict of interest to viewers before interviewing the author of a book critical of the foundation's foreign donors and influence over Hillary Clinton at the State Department.
Stephanopoulos, a former Bill Clinton communications aide, interviewed Clinton Cash author Peter Schweizer on the April 26 edition of This Week, where he pushed back against his reporting and Schweizer himself, repeating Democratic attacks that he had a "partisan interest" in disparaging the Clintons.
"They say you used to work for President Bush as a speech writer. You are funded by the Koch brothers," he said. "How do you respond to that?"
"As you know, the Clinton campaign says you haven't produced a shred of evidence that there was any official action as secretary that supported the interest of donors," he asked later. "We've done investigative work here at ABC News, found no proof of any kind of direct action. An independent government ethics expert at the Sunlight Foundation Bill Allison wrote this: 'There's no smoking gun. No evidence that the changed policy based on donations to the foundation. No smoking gun.' Is there a smoking gun?"
Stephanopoulos did not point out that the Sunlight Foundation is funded by left-wing billionaire George Soros.
[…]The story came to light when the Free Beacon's Andrew Stiles discovered Stephanopoulos' donation and requested a comment from ABC News. Stephanopoulos then confirmed the donation to Politico and issued an apology for not disclosing it beforehand, and ABC announced it would not take any punitive action against him.
Second article:
Talking to Bloomberg Politics correspondent Joshua Green on Wednesday, Clinton Cash author Peter Schweizer said he was "really quite stunned" by the revelation that ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos gave $50,000 to the Clinton Foundation. Schweizer called it a "massive breach of ethical standards" for the Bill Clinton operative turned journalist.
Referencing a contentious interview with Stephanopoulos for This Week on April 26, Schweizer observed: "He fairly noted my four months working as a speech writer for George W. Bush. But he didn't disclose this?" In that exchange, Stephanopoulos accused Schweizer of having a "partisan interest" in writing a book critical of the Clintons.
In 2014, Stephanopoulos offered a glowing puff piece on the Clinton Foundation, hailing it as an organization that "brings together world leaders…and celebrities, re-imagining the world and taking action."
Also on Thursday, Kentucky Senator and Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul told The New York Times that Stephanopoulos should not be permitted to moderate any 2016 debates: "It's impossible to divorce yourself from that, even if you try. I just think it's really, really hard because he's been there, so close to them, that there would be a conflict of interest if he tried to be a moderator of any sort."
And Rand Paul is getting what he asked for, the former Clinton administration communications director George Stephanopolous will not be moderator of a GOP debate. Honestly, why was he in there in the first place? You might as well pick Satan to moderate a debate on the resurrection of Jesus. I'm really not sure why ABC News would make him their chief anchor, since the man is a diehard Democrat. A top Clinton aide, and White House Communications Director when Clinton was President. Do you know what the White House Communications Director does? He just says whatever he has to to make the President look good.
A fair moderator of GOP debates? Give me a break.
The radically leftist New York Times reminds us what Stephanopolous did in the 2012 presidential debate he moderated:
In 2012 advisers in the Romney campaign actively lobbied to exclude Mr. Stephanopoulos from the primary debates to no avail. Conservatives say their fears were borne out during the ABC News debate in New Hampshire that year. Mr. Stephanopoulos repeatedly asked Mr. Romney if he believed that states could outlaw birth control — a question that the Romney campaign saw as off-point and far afield of the issues that concerned voters. Mr. Stephanopoulos pressed repeatedly, asking six follow-up questions.
That's right. He asked 7 questions about a topic that as relevant to the campaign as Clinton's affairs with Monica Lewinsky. He did it in order to smear Republicans.
ABC News is, of course, not punishing him from reporting on a foundation that he donated to.
