[See NewsBusters for more.] Good Morning America on Thursday scored the exclusive scoop of the first interview with New York Mayor Bill de Blasio (and his wife) as he became the 23 Democrat to run for president in 2020. However, former Democratic operative turned host George Stephanopoulos avoided any mention of de Blasio’s hard-left stances on abortion, gun control or his total embrace of the Green New Deal. This as even the Mayor himself referenced his very liberal opinions. Instead, Stephanopoulos focused mostly on process, beginning with this: “With a [Democratic presidential] field that big, you know the most important question for any candidate is what sets you apart? What do you bring to the race that no one else can?”
