What a dick! That's a terrible thing to say by someone who some consider to be a good interviewer.

George Stephanopoulos was a Clinton campaign strategist turned Clinton advisor back in the day. Just an fyi for insight on what side of the aisle he's on & why he conducted the interview with Wilson in that manner. Also, Wilson was asked by CNN for the interview (Don Lemon) & chose George & ABC.

I guess it was a poor choice by Wilson.

It's the first time that he has spoken publicly since this happened. I would think that the interviewer would have at least tried to be somewhat unbiased.

I want to see the full interview.

I've watched Stephanopoulos for years, & honestly, that's really his demeanor. He's pretty soft spoken, & I'm sure Wilson & his people thought it might be the "easier" interview. Don Lemon can get kind of fired up.

... Considering the majority of the media leans to the left in varying degrees, they probably were going with the "lesser of the evils." ... Of course, couldn't do Fox for obvious reasons.

I could just see CNN and especially MSNBC melting if he did the interview with Fox.

I think I've found the worst piece of reporting about Ferguson yet.

Ferguson 'Tank Man' protester evokes iconic image from Tiananmen Square protests

Yeah, totally comparable.

The animals that are destroying Ferguson are not iconic. I wish the media would stop worshipping them and acting as if they are heroes.

He was on Pawn Stars a couple months ago. Kinda strange appearance for him?

I don't even know what to say about that shite. Abominable to compare these events. The stupidity in this country by many is overwhelming at times. People's cluelessness astounds me.

im not going back through all of these pages, but someone mentioned that CNN was showing a computer simulation of the events, but still in the way that the first witnesses described (hands up dont shoot) did we ever get a link to it?

He was "buying" an antique book they had there. Only like 3 in the world. It was funny trying to watch him "jew" them down on the price. Then ChumLee showed up and stupidity reined.

Yes, he bought the book for like $10,000.

Hate I missed it. Maybe it'll be replayed. ... Amusing to see that tiny thing haggling with those dudes.
