The silly George Stephanopoulos kerfuffle

This kerfuffle over ABC “news” anchor George Stephanopoulos’ ties to the Clinton Foundation is plain silly.

Anyone with half a brain already knew Stephanopoulos was and always has been a Clinton operative. The relationship did not end when his stint at ABC began. But their ties go much deeper than just their personal relationship and Stephanopoulos’ donations to and work for the Foundation.

I told you in January about these ties and the most important common denominator of all: the Council on Foreign Relations. The CFR, according to the late Carroll Quigley (himself a CFR member) in his book “Tragedy and Hope,” “… is the American Branch of a society which originated in England, and which believes that national boundaries should be obliterated, and a one-world rule established.”

The CFR has controlled American government for more than 80 years. Most cabinet posts for both Republican and Democrat presidents, as well as past presidents, vice presidents and presidential candidates are/were CFR members. These include Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, George McGovern, Jimmy Carter, Jack Kemp, Geraldine Ferraro, George H.W. Bush (who was also CIA), Bill Clinton, Gary Hart, Mario Cuomo, Michael Dukakis, Walter Mondale, Dick Cheney, John McCain, Bill Bradley, John Kerry, Al Gore, John Edwards, Joe Lieberman, Newt Gingrich, Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. The CFR’s membership list is a Who’s Who of the heads of the State Departments and senior presidential advisers past and present.

And almost all the big names in American media are CFR members. These include: Fox News star Charles Krauthammer, Tom Brokaw, Katie Couric, Charlie Rose, Dan Rather, Diane Sawyer, Barbara Walters, Paula Zahn, Bill Moyers, James Zogby (of the Zogby poll) and Fox News CEO Roger Ailes.

And the mainstream media and presidential regimes have long-standing incestuous relationships. Currently, almost all major television media have strong ties to the Obama administration and government agencies. CBS News President David Rhodes and ABC News President Ben Sherwood both have siblings employed by Obama’s National Security Council working on policy issues. CNN’s Virginia Moseley is married to Tom Nides, former deputy secretary of State who worked under Hillary Clinton at the time of the Benghazi attacks. Former White House Press Secretary Jay Carney is married to ABC reporter Claire Shipman. Carney is now a contributor for CNN. NPR’s White House correspondent, Ari Shapiro, is married to Michael Gottlieb, who works in the White House counsel’s office. Vice President Joe Biden’s communications director is Shailigh Murray, a former reporter for The Washington Post who is married to Neil King, one of The Wall Street Journal’s top political reporters.

Any major media figure feigning surprise at Stephanopoulos’ ties to the Clinton Foundation is just trying to fool you. There is little objectivity and even less truth coming out of the mainstream media.

Politico, itself part of the mainstream media echo chamber, released a list of media organizations, networks, companies, foundations and individuals that have contributed to the Foundation.
