In case ABC’s chief anchor thought that two apologies over his undeclared Clinton Foundation donations would be sufficient to pacify his critics than he was wrong.

ABC News’s embattled chief anchor, George Stephanopoulos saw a rough weekend and an even worse Sunday.

On CNN’s Reliable Sources media criticism program, Stephanopoulos’s former ABC News colleague, Carole Simpson, unloaded on the former top aide to Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Simpson toiled for two decades at ABC News, notably as the weekend anchor of World News Tonight from 1988 to 2003. She said that there was a coziness that George cannot escape. She said that though he did try to separate himself from his political background to become a journalist, yet he ‘really isn’t a journalist’.

So, Simpson tried to obliterate Stephanopoulos’s claims of impartiality as the 2016 presidential campaign heats up, and featured Hillary Clinton’s status as the prohibitive frontrunner for the Democratic nomination.

Simpson said that she was ‘dumbfounded’ by Thursday’s revelation that Stephanopoulos has failed to disclose $75,000 in recent donations to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, as he conducted during a confrontational April 26 interview with Clinton Foundation critic Peter Schweizer.

Furthermore, Simpson said that despite Stephanopoulos’s alleged lack of journalistic bona fides, ABC has made him the face of ABC News, the chief anchor.

Schweizer himself told Reliable Sources that ABC had gone into ‘cover-up mode’ over Stephanopoulos’ lapse. He said that he would like ‘a rematch’ with Stephanopoulos, but ABC News has not gotten back to him.

Despite ABC News’s official statement of support, asserting that the news division management ‘stands behind’ Stephanopoulos and he won’t be facing suspension or other disciplinary action, Simpson said, “George may be in some hot water within ABC”.

In addition, Greenfield mentioned that ABC News might be forced into the decision that Stephanopoulos must rescue himself from covering the 2016 campaign at all.
