George Stephanopoulos

ABC News had barely even reported the news of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s passing Friday night before hosts and correspondents began crassly strategizing over how Democrats could target vulnerable Republican senators in order to block any nominee named by President Trump to fill the vacancy. 

On ABC’s Good Morning America Thursday, White House correspondent Cecilia Vega and anchor George Stephanopoulos spent a good deal of time deflecting blame from the Democrat ticket sowing fear about a COVID vaccine to project it was actually being “politicized” by President Trump.

In this week's scintillating installment of the NewsBusters podcast, executive editor Tim Graham discusses the phoniness of the "town hall" format, when networks carefully screen so-called "uncommitted voters" and then carefully pre-screen their questions, which makes it feel like a scripted event, not a free-wheeling talk with the people. Managing editor Curtis Houck joins the podcast to…

Even as Joe Biden routinely dodges questions from the press or voters, on Wednesday, the network morning shows were thrilled that President Trump was hit with a “barrage” of “tough questions” at Tuesday night’s ABC News town hall event. Rather than reward the President for actually engaging with the American people, the leftist media instead gleefully reveled in how he was “grilled” by alleged…

Billed as a presidential town hall with questions from undecided voters, ABC showed that they pulled a fast one on the American people as Tuesday’s The President and the People: A 20/20 Special Event ended up being debate prep for President Trump as, instead of Joe Biden, he faced 90 minutes of hostility from chief anchor and former Clinton official George Stephanopoulos.

What was pitched to viewers as a “20/20 Special Event” Tuesday, a town hall with President Trump, turned out to be the first 2020 presidential debate. But instead of Democratic nominee Joe Biden as Trump’s opponent, the President squared off against ABC’s chief anchor and Clinton lackey, George Stephanopoulos, who took every opportunity to battle his guest.

Former White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders appeared on Good Morning America today to tout her new memoir about life in the White House, but anchor George Stephanopoulos instead spent the majority of the interview arguing with her over whether or not President Trump hates the military.

In reacting to President Trump’s 2020 RNC speech on Thursday night, ABC made sure their coverage reflected the total opposite of how they basked in and marveled at Joe Biden’s speech. Instead, they decried it as a “no hope” speech “filled with” “darkness,” entitlement, “harsh attacks,” lacked energy, and dared to suggest Biden would reenact lockdowns if elected.

Along with their reaction to Vice President Mike Pence’s Wednesday night 2020 RNC address, the “big three” broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC had plenty of other takes, ranging from excusing the rioting in Kenosha, Wisconsin because suffragettes did the same to get the right to vote to calling the RNC “alternate realities” that support the Star-Spangled Banner to trashing…

On Thursday night after Vice President Mike Pence’s 2020 RNC speech, ABC journalists and liberal panelists were less-than-pleased he didn’t forcefully speak out against Sunday’s shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, condemn armed individuals defending businesses from rioters, and accept responsibility for the size and scope of the coronavirus pandemic.

After another successful night of the Republican National Convention, panicked reporters on Wednesday’s network morning shows wildly declared that the entire event could be “illegal” and “possibly a violation of the Hatch Act,” which regulates how and when government officials engage in campaign politics. Making it clear who was issuing the marching orders, the broadcasts touted “House…

Between Senator Tim Scott’s well-received Monday night speech, stories on both nights from everyday Americans, and remarks from rising stars, Tuesday’s RNC festivities resulted in a no good, awful, very bad day for the broadcast networks. Minutes into their coverage, ABC and CBS spontaneously combusted upon seeing President Trump holding a naturalization ceremony at the White House.

Late Tuesday night, the “big three” broadcast networks were trapped between a rock and a hard place. ABC, CBS, and NBC found themselves begrudgingly praising First Lady Melania Trump’s 2020 RNC speech and while they did plenty of that, they found an escape hatch by using her speech to broadly attack all speakers before her on Monday and Tuesday. Meanwhile, NBC Nightly News anchor…

Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley embarrassed CBS and ABC journalists Tuesday morning, by responding to their hysterical leading questions with reason and facts. During her two interviews today she was repeatedly badgered to attack President Trump, but wouldn’t take the bait. Instead, she made a powerful case skewering the media for ignoring what the president has done for minorities as well as…
