[See NewsBusters for more.] George Stephanopoulos won an award for journalism? The former Democratic operative turned host of a show known for cat videos hyped his win for "excellence in broadcast journalism." Good Morning America's Amy Robach on Thursday touted, "We can't help but give a big congratulations to one of our own. George took home the top award at last night's National Press Foundation Dinner."  She gushed, "He was recognized for his extraordinary energy and insight. I would like add to that intellect and wit." Stephanopoulos basked in the accolades of his co-hosts: "Wow. Thank you, guys. National Press Foundation, they do great work training journalists all over the world." Showcasing that training, the former top aide to Bill Clinton shifted to the latest on "pop news."
