ABC Reportedly Offers Morning Show Slot to Liberal Democrat ...

The Washington Post upon Thursday reported which ABC has offered the in front of ofGood Morning America co-hostto former tip Clinton help George Stephanopoulos. According to the Posts Howard Kurtz, Stephanopoulos, should he take the job, wants some-more politics in the sunrise program: "...Stephanopoulos has pushed for the role reshaped to spotlight his interest in politics as well as tough headlines rsther than than underline segments."

Would this mean the greater distillate of liberal bias from the ex-Democratic operative? If his track jot down upon This Week, as well as guest appearances upon GMA have been any indication, the answer is yes.The MRCs Profile in Bias has documented Stephanopoulos severe spin. For instance, he spoken Barack Obama as well as Joe Biden the leader of all four presidential debates in 2008.

On the May 13, 2007 This Week,Stephanopoulos tarred Republicans as racist as well as doubtful to opinion for Obama: "Maybe Im wrong, maybe Im naive...I theory I consider which anyone whos not starting to opinion for Barack Obama since he is black isnt starting to opinion for the Democrat anyway."

Stephanopoulos mostly can be counted upon to provide Democratic articulate points. In March of 2008, when Obama primarily refused to forgo Jeremiah Wright, the ABC anchor spun it as an admirable act: "By refusing to forgo Reverend Wright, which was in most ways an act of honor for Senator Obama."

Kurtz, in his Washington Post piece, mostly abandoned the emanate of Stephanopoulos liberal bias. He did refer to the publisher as "the onetime Clinton White House aide." However, he additionally observed:

In the thirteen years since he left politics, Stephanopoulos has grown in stature as the Sunday host as well as ABC's go-to man in Washington, as well as recognized from the start which the lighter, f! luffier part of morning-show hold up was not his clever suit. With Sawyer withdrawal the large void in the second-rated sunrise program, bringing in the big-name star has viewable appeal to ABC News President David Westin.

Writing of Chris Cuomo, GMAs stream headlines anchor as well as the person which most thought might attain Diane Sawyer (who is withdrawal to turn the World News anchor), Kurtz wrote:

In the sign which ABC management team have been looking toward the future with Stephanopoulos, they have been articulate to the pick contender, "GMA" headlines anchor Chris Cuomo, about brand new opportunities during the network if Stephanopoulos accepts the job. Cuomo, an pick choice if the talks with Stephanopoulos break down, is being courted by pick networks. Executives have been additionally considering candidates to replace Cuomo in the headlines reader's pursuit upon the assumption which he will substantially leave the show.

Cuomo, of course, is the son of New Yorks former Democratic governor, Mario Cuomo. Hes additionally the hermit of Andrew Cuomo, New Yorks stream Democratic attorney general. So, it appears which one liberal Democrat has edged out another liberal Democrat.
