Steph'los Banned Moderating Rep Debate b/c Donations Clinton Found, Clinton Donor OK for Dem Debate

http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2015-05-14/george-stephanopoulos-apologizes-for-clinton-foundation-donations

ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos on Thursday said he would not moderate his network's Republican primary debate next year after revealing that he had made $50,000 in previously undisclosed donations to the Clinton Foundation.

Stephanopoulos' decision came after several prominent Republican lawmakers questioned his objectivity in the wake of the revelations, among them Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, who is running for his party's presidential nomination.

The contributions by Stephanopoulos, a veteran of President Bill Clinton's administration who subsequently launched a media career, were first reported in Politico's On Media blog. Stephanopoulos apologized for not revealing the donations.
