MEDIA WINNER: George Stephanopoulos George Stephanopoulos scored the latest interview with former Vice President and Democratic nominee Joe Biden, airing Tuesday morning on GMA. Despite critics who might suggest Stephanopoulos goes too easy on Democrats, the ABC News anchor put Biden’s feat to the fire on the allegation from Tara Reade, who called on the candidate to drop out last week in an interview with Megyn Kelly. Biden’s response might not satisfy those who see a discrepancy between the “believe women” slogan and his denial of the allegations. “I think women should be believed. They should have an opportunity to have their case and state it forthrightly what their case is,” he said. “At the end of the day, the truth is the truth. That’s what should prevail and the truth is this never happened. This never happened. That’s the truth." Stephanopoulos also caught Biden slipping up while explaining how much he knew about the investigation of Michael Flynn. “I know nothing about those moves to investigate Michael Flynn,” Biden said first, but after being pressed by Stephanopoulos, he conceded “I was aware that they had asked for an investigation, but that’s all I know about it and I don’t think anything else." It was a solid interview by Stephanopoulos, and one that earned plaudits from Fox & Friends, an unlikely source. 6.5.0 |
