#5: George Stephanopoulos
Before sitting behind the anchor desk, George Stephanopoulos helped steer the Clinton White House—a political past that still shadows his present. Now a leading figure at ABC News, he’s a seasoned interviewer known for pointed questions and polished delivery. But not everyone is convinced of his impartiality.
His ties to the Clintons and repeated clashes with the current administration have fueled distrust, especially among more conservative viewers. Once praised for bringing political savvy to journalism, Stephanopoulos now finds himself the subject of partisan fire. In the court of public opinion, history has a tendency to stick to the witness.
