For George Stephanopoulos, the hate comes from how far he's fallen. Back when serving in the Clinton administration as a senior advisor, and later as communications director, Stephanopoulos came off as some kind of wunderkind. Young and attractive, his face aptly represented the feeling of change and renewed purpose that Clinton tried to bring to the White House after he was elected in 1992. But just as Clinton's presidency ran aground amid impeachments and partisan rancor, so too did Stephanopoulos' tenure in government: According to his biography, he ended up resigning due to the stress of his position. Since then, he's reinvented himself as a media pundit, and every day his standing seems to drop a little lower. A few months ago, he (along with Charles Gibson) embarrassed himself on national television during a debate between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, when he appeared less interested in talking about the issues at hand than he was rehashing media-driven distractions. Stephanopoulos is dangerously close to exemplifying why so many Americans are giving up on the mainstream media entirely. This talking head needs to take a vow of silence, at least until the election is over.
