After having stayed silent on the George Stephanopoulos scandal on Thursday, MSNBC finally covered the story with multiple segments on Friday’s Morning Joe devoted to Stephanopoulos’s previously undisclosed donations to the Clinton Foundation. Surprisingly, the main theme that was derived from segments of banter was how the panelists were struck by the ABC News chief anchor’s inability to disclose the $75,000.
In the show’s first segment on the topic, Jeremy Peters of The New York Times remarked that “I do not think there is a modern parallel for this, for the person who is the face of the most watched news network in the country to have given $75,000 to an entity that bears the name of a person who is running for president.”
