Stephanopoulos, known for his ties\u200d to the Clintons, questions his panel about efforts in some states to declare Trump ineligible for election based\u200b on the 14th Amendment \u2064ban\u2064 on insurrectionists.<\/p>\n<p>During his Sunday\u2062 show, which coincided with the third anniversary of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Stephanopoulos&#8217;s panelists suggest that\u2062 the Supreme\u200c Court will find Trump guilty, but it will be up to Congress, not \u200bthe\u2063 states, to remove his name from the ballots. Stephanopoulos himself asserts that if Trump engaged in insurrection, he cannot be qualified\u2064 to run for office according to the plain meaning of the 14th Amendment.<\/p>\n<p>One of his panelists, Donna Brazile, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nancy-sinatra-ill-never-forgive-trump-voters\/\" title=\"Nancy Sinatra: \u2018I\u2019ll Never Forgive\u2019 Trump Voters\">prominent liberal<\/a> and former acting \u200dDemocratic Party chairwoman, agrees with Stephanopoulos&#8217;s \u200cviewpoint.<\/p>\n<h3>Insight from Sunday&#8217;s This Week on ABC:<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS:<\/strong> Sarah,\u2062 what \u200ddo you think the court will decide?<\/p>\n<p><strong>SARAH ISGUR, SENIOR EDITOR OF THE DISPATCH:<\/strong> I believe the Supreme Court will rule that Trump is not disqualified from \u200dbeing on the ballot. \u2063They will overturn the Colorado Supreme Court&#8217;s decision.<\/p>\n<p><strong>STEPHANOPOULOS:<\/strong> But how will they justify\u200b it?<\/p>\n<p><strong>ISGUR:<\/strong> Well, I think \u200cthey will argue that the 14th Amendment clearly states that it&#8217;s Congress&#8217;s responsibility to determine qualification. Congress can requalify someone with\u200c a two-thirds vote, \u200dand there&#8217;s no specific timeline for that. Therefore, it&#8217;s about holding \u200boffice after the elections, not\u200d running for\u200b office. The states cannot create \u200ctheir own standards, such as &#8220;beyond a reasonable doubt&#8221; or &#8220;more \u2064likely than not.&#8221; What \u2063interests \u200dme is whether the\u200c Supreme Court will go \u200dout of their way \u2064to secure the votes of Kagan, Sotomayor, \u2062and Jackson by acknowledging the insurrection but leaving the \u2064decision to Congress.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Stephanopoulos challenges\u200b Donna Brazile, expressing his doubts about how Trump \u2064can be qualified to run for office if\u2064 he engaged in insurrection. Brazile agrees with Stephanopoulos&#8217;s \u2064perspective.<\/p>\n<p>Brent Baker, the vice president of research and publications for the Media Research Center, comments on our selection for this week&#8217;s Liberal Media Scream: &#8220;Stephanopoulos once again reveals his bias as a Democratic partisan rather than a journalist. A true journalist would not jump to a definitive conclusion on such a contentious issue\u2063 that divides Americans, especially weeks before the Supreme Court\u200b ruling. Stephanopoulos has clearly\u200c aligned\u2064 himself with those who seek\u2063 to \u2062deny the public&#8217;s right to vote for their preferred candidate. It&#8217;s \u2062ironic how he claims to protect democracy from Trump while undermining the democratic process.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating:\u200b FIVE out of FIVE\u200c SCREAMS.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How does the timing of \u200cthe discussion, \u200ccoinciding with the anniversary of the \u200cCapitol riot, and Stephanopoulos&#8217;s ties to the \u200cClintons, affect \u2063the\u200d perception of objectivity in the \u2062episode<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u200c P>In this week&#8217;s \u2064episode of This Week on ABC, host George Stephanopoulos takes on a pivotal role \u200bin determining the future of \u2064former President \u200cDonald Trump&#8217;s \u200dpotential\u2064 2024 \u2064primary campaign. Stephanopoulos, known \u2062for his \u2064ties to the \u2064Clintons, tackles the\u200d issue of declaring Trump ineligible for election \u2063based \u2063on \u2062the 14th \u2064Amendment&#8217;s ban on insurrectionists.<\/p>\n<p>During the episode, which coincided \u2063with the third anniversary of the Jan. \u20646 Capitol riot, Stephanopoulos&#8217;s \u200dpanelists discuss the \u2064likelihood of\u2062 the Supreme Court finding Trump guilty, and the subsequent responsibility of\u200b Congress\u2064 to \u2063remove\u200c his name from the ballots.\u200b Stephanopoulos himself argues\u200b that if Trump\u200b indeed\u200c engaged in insurrection, his \u2064qualification to run for office would be compromised according to the plain meaning of the 14th Amendment.<\/p>\n<p>One of\u200d the panelists,\u2064 Donna Brazile, a prominent liberal and former acting Democratic Party \u200cchairwoman, shares Stephanopoulos&#8217;s viewpoint and agrees with \u200chis assessments.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The \u200binclusion of Stephanopoulos and\u200d Brazile, both known for their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/6-celebrities-who-risked-their-careers-to-defy-cancel-culture\/\" title=\"6 Celebrities Who Risked Their Careers to Defy Cancel Culture\u00a0\">liberal leanings<\/a>, in\u200c the discussion raises concerns about \u200dimpartiality and objectivity. By adopting the role of judge, jury,\u2064 and executioner, Stephanopoulos&#8217;s actions undermine the principles of fair and unbiased reporting. Rather than presenting a balanced discussion of the issue, the episode becomes a platform for advancing personal opinions and political agendas.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to focus on\u2064 efforts to declare \u200dTrump ineligible for election in \u200bsome states also raises\u200d questions about the\u2064 timing and \u2063motives behind such discussions. \u2064The timing, coinciding with \u200cthe anniversary \u2062of the \u2064Capitol riot, \u200dsuggests an \u200battempt to capitalize \u200con the\u2063 emotions and sentiments associated with that event. Furthermore, Stephanopoulos&#8217;s\u200b ties to the Clintons, a\u2063 prominent political family infamous for their contentious relationship with Trump, further cast doubt on the objectivity of the discussion.<\/p>\n<p>It is crucial to remember that the role \u200cof \u2063the media is to inform and\u200d educate the public, presenting\u2064 a fair and unbiased account of events and issues. Stephanopoulos&#8217;s actions in\u2062 this episode undermine this fundamental principle, \u2064as he takes it \u2064upon himself to determine the fate of Trump&#8217;s\u2064 political future before \u2063due process has taken place. This not only undermines the principles of democracy but also \u2062<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/reporter-asks-biden-tough-question-about-hunter-gets-a-telling-wordless-response-instead-of-a-straight-answer\/\" title=\"Reporter questions Biden on Hunter, receives silent response instead of direct answer.\">erodes public\u2062 trust<\/a> in the media&#8217;s ability to \u2063provide\u200c fair and accurate reporting.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, Stephanopoulos&#8217;s actions in this week&#8217;s \u200bepisode of \u2064Liberal \u200cMedia Scream raise concerns about his impartiality and objectivity. By \u2064assuming the \u2062roles of judge, jury, and executioner in determining the\u200c fate of Trump&#8217;s political \u2064future, Stephanopoulos undermines the\u200b principles of \u200dfair reporting and impartial journalism.
