Stephanopoulos tries to top Pelley with his Trump hate: Liberal Media Scream – Washington Examiner

The article discusses the tendency of liberal news show hosts to criticize former President Donald Trump, highlighting George Stephanopoulos’ recent comments on his show “This Week.” Stephanopoulos accused Trump and his family of profiting from the presidency, suggesting that their financial gains are unprecedented in American history. This criticism follows a broader trend among media personalities,with Stephanopoulos specifically trying to outdo previous anti-Trump sentiments expressed by others,such as Scott Pelley from “60 Minutes.” The piece points out the hypocrisy in Stephanopoulos’s stance, considering his past involvement in a defamation lawsuit that resulted in a $15 million settlement in favor of Trump. The article labels Stephanopoulos’ remarks this week as a prime example of “Liberal Media Scream,” indicating a perceived bias in the media’s coverage of Trump compared to other political figures, like Joe Biden.


Stephanopoulos tries to top Pelley with his Trump hate: Liberal Media Scream

Have you noticed how the liberal Sunday news show hosts have been tripping over themselves to find some, any angle to attack President Donald Trump and his team?

The latest to join the parade is George Stephanopoulos, the ABC big shot and former Bill Clinton spinner-in-chief, who on Sunday tried to one-up the recent string of anti-Trump editorials from Scott Pelley on 60 Minutes.

On ABC’s This Week, Stephanopoulos opened with this: “Good morning and welcome to This Week. The scale is staggering. President Trump and his family are making hundreds of millions, potentially billions of dollars, as Trump and his administration take official actions that benefit contributors and investors.”

The attack was par for the course for the Clinton family defender, who was unfazed that the Clinton Foundation profited from foreign governments when Hillary Rodham Clinton was secretary of state or that the Biden family enterprise cashed in on Joe Biden’s vice presidency and presidency.

And it followed a pattern of attacking Trump at any cost, a dangerous practice that recently prompted ABC and Stephanopoulos to issue an apology and pay a Trump-related foundation $15 million to scuttle a defamation lawsuit.

For his hypocrisy, Stephanopoulos’s rant is our Liberal Media Scream of the week.

Stephanopoulos on Sunday’s This Week on ABC, with the quoted text displayed on screen:

“Good morning and welcome to This Week. The scale is staggering. President Trump and his family are making hundreds of millions, potentially billions of dollars, as Trump and his administration take official actions that benefit contributors and investors. Just this week, we learned of pardons to tax cheats, including a man whose pardon was granted weeks after his mother attended a million-dollar-a-head fundraiser with the president. The Trump Media and Technology Group raised nearly $2.5 billion from 50 institutional investors whose identities have not been disclosed. The SEC dropped its lawsuit against the cryptocurrency firm Binance days after Binance began listing the cryptocurrency launched by World Liberty Financial, the crypto firm started by Trump’s family.

“This unprecedented money-making by a sitting president and his family summarized by critics like the Atlantic’s David Frum. ‘Nothing like this has been attempted or even imagined in the history of the American presidency,’ he writes. ‘Throw away the history books, discard feeble comparisons to scandals of the past. There is no analogy with any previous action by any past president. The brazenness of the self-enrichment resembles nothing seen in any earlier White House. This is American corruption on the scale of a post-Soviet republic or a post-colonial African dictatorship.’”

Brent Baker, the Steven P.J. Wood senior fellow and vice president for research and publications at the Media Research Center, explained our pick: You’d think someone like Stephanopoulos, who forced Disney/ABC to pay $15 million to Trump’s future presidential museum for a false statement impugning President Trump, would be more reluctant to display such rank hypocrisy in becoming so overwrought about charges of corruption against Trump. Especially when he showed no similar concern over how the Biden family profited off of lucrative secretive deals fueled by President Biden’s high offices.”

Rating: FOUR out of FIVE screams.
