Reported at Mediaite, with video that allowed me to transcribe the "Oh, I'm surprised at that," which I find funny, and Mediaite left out.
I find it funny — and I believe this is why Mediaite left it out — because I read Stephanopoulos to be lying. He knows why Hillary Clinton wouldn't want to be interviewed by someone who's digging into the Harvey Weinstein story.
1. Hillary was part of what the New York Times called Weinstein's "complicity machine":
In late September [2016], emails show, he was discussing a documentary television show he was working on with Hillary Clinton. He had long raised campaign cash for her, and her feminist credentials helped burnish his image — even though Tina Brown, the magazine editor, and Lena Dunham, the writer and actress, each say they had cautioned Mrs. Clinton’s aides about his treatment of women....2. Hillary was vulnerable to questioning about her protection of Bill Clinton over the years, and Ronan Farrow was emerging as the one who was fighting to take sexual harassment and rape seriously. Hillary's people were right to worry that he would have the nerve to really push her on questions about her behavior toward the women whose voice Farrow was about to amplify.
Over the years, Mr. Weinstein provided [theClintons] with campaign cash and Hollywood star power, inviting Mrs. Clinton to glittery premieres and offering to send her films. After Mr. Clinton faced impeachment in the Monica Lewinsky scandal, he donated $10,000 to Mr. Clinton’s legal defense fund. Mr. Weinstein was a fund-raiser and informal adviser during Mrs. Clinton’s 2000 Senate campaign, a guest in her hotel suite when she won and a host of an A-list victory party. He was an early backer of both her presidential bids.
Stephanopoulos obviously knows this. He looked ludicrous playing the naif.

I can hardly wait for Stephanopoulos to get Laurered to his rightful place.
Once again, the old Media narratives used for mind control are being attacked by truth so much, so fast, from so many directions, that the CIA High Priests are into a simple denial of all truth. They just need to abandon ship.
The only way Stephanopoulos' answer could have been better is if he had said he was "shocked, shocked."
One could argue that George Stephanopoulos himself was part of a certain "complicity machine".
I've forgotten what Weinstein did that was wrong.
Clintonopoulis was doing what he has done for years.
Like the time he went to the hotel room where Bill raped Juanita Broderick and looked out the window to see if her description of the view was accurate. It was and we heard no more about it.
That the propagandist Stephanopoulos is considered a journalist is a scandal.
I thought it was a dry-humor comment. Stephanopoulos is a bright guy, Thought his comment was funny, as he intended it to be. The earnest tone is the the tell.
"That the propagandist Stephanopoulos is considered a journalist is a scandal."
I have been in US for more than 40 years.
i keep remembering Francisco saying in Atlas Shrugged - I came to witness the farce.
rh...Weinstein did the same thing to stars and star wannabes that Bill Cosby did to so many women. But unlike Cosby who at least gave them a date rape drug, Weinstein made the stay awake all night and pretend to enjoy it.
So Weinstein was using women "trafficked" by agents and parents to become Stars. Using women that way is the essence of Clinton Evil that was spread all over the world.
Well, he didn't say he was astonished. Stephanopolous was using "surprised" according to Noah Webster's correct usage, (when confronted by his wife while in congress with a maidservant).
Steve Sailer has expressed a suspicion that Ronan Farrow's drive to ruin Harvey Weinstein was motivated at least partially by his anger that Weinstein helped restore Woody Allen's career as a director.
Your transcription was close but didn't capture the nuances of Stephanopoulos' comment, as this video from another angle reveals.
Maybe George will claim he was being ironic.
Weinstein was just making mutually beneficial deals, it looks like.
Althouse: "I find it funny — and I believe this is why Mediaite left it out — because I read Stephanopoulos to be lying."
Uh oh.
"Lifelong" "he who shall not be named" is not going to like that.
Not one bit.
Brace for incoming....
Number of times "Lifelong" "He who shall not be named" has criticized the left-wing partisan hackery of the MSM talking heads: Zero.
"after "her folks" heard she was "working on a big story" — "the Weinstein stuff.""
looks like you've got a typo (she should be he) on that line, Prof; wasn't it Ronan that was working on it? (i'm assuming that Ronan should be a he, not a she)
Who cares whether you're surprised, George. Do you think it was right for Hillary to block and tackle for predator Harvey?
The Chapaqiddick movie is in the process of sinking to oblivion. The center holds. The Ronan interview with Hillary was rescheduled, and there's no record that Ronan asked her any difficult questions about her friendship with Harvey.......The world will little note nor long remember that she was besties with Harvey. Over the coming years, however, you can look forward to many treatments of Trump's love affair with Stormy.
In a closet somewhere there's a portrait of George Stephanopoulos where he looks 100 years old.
I think Lena Dunham hurt Hillary Clinton much more than Harv did or could have.
The #metoo thing was supposed to happen in a Hillary Clinton presidency so we could all make new laws about sexual behavior. It didn't turn out that way and basically only ruined Hollywood. Hah! I'm glad everyone now understands that Hollywood was just a casting couch and the ideals of feminine beauty that were forced upon us reflect Harvey's tastes more than Anna Wintour's, but Hillary could have had 10 more Harveys (probably did/does) and been fine but another Lena Dunham and she would've lost even more states.
Her campaign was a mess and didn't understand that.
"looks like you've got a typo (she should be he) on that line, Prof; wasn't it Ronan that was working on it? (i'm assuming that Ronan should be a he, not a she)"
Thanks!
Totally missed that on proofreading. It would have taken me a long time to notice.
I apologize if anyone was confused.
The Chapaqiddick movie is in the process of sinking to oblivion.
Elite reviewers (that is, the mainstream media) gave Chappaquidick a 77 percent rating according to Rotten Tomatoes, so ordinary viewers will determine whether it sinks or swims (sorry, couldn’t resist).
We wait for pronouns to self-identify now.
"He looks ludicrous." Fixed it for you.
I mean, when does Stephanopoulos--a loyal-to-the-core Clintonista--not look ludicrous posing as a "journalist?"
Most of Stephanopoulos audience is ignorant of his past relation to Hillary Clinton, as he fails to bring up his conflict of interest. And those not ignorant are themselves complicit in Stephanopoulos lies. The thing is for both ABC and Stephanopoulus; none of their competitors cares to cover Hillary's complicity with Weinstein either. For that matter, they don't seem to care to cover anyone's complicity with Weinstein.
Now Cosby... there's a story you might find anywhere else, but NBC.
"Stephanopoulos obviously knows this. He looked ludicrous playing the naif."
And ever loyal to those who brought him to the party in the first place.
Most people don't know/remember or pretend not to know that Stephanopoulos worked for Bill Clinton and helped the Clintons trash Bill's rape victims.
As a paid job.
He has never stopped working for the Clintons.
Why is George Clintonopolis still here?
he promised to move to Australia.
btw- I heard a clip of all the folks at ABC news lamenting the fact that they gave Trump such an easy time prior to the election. Again with the lies. They gave Trump a free pass because they WANTED to tip the scales and give Hillary the most beatable candidate. (oops) This is why the MSM are doubling down on making sure that never happens again. (and of course the fake Russian BS) The media Hillarywoodland are full Democrat operatives with gusto, now.
It is shocking that he is actually taken serious as a journalist by anyone who hasn't drunk the Kool Aid, particularly after we saw exactly what role Donna Brazil played in covering for Clinton Corruption.
Oh Please. Why do you think Comey went to the Clintonopoulis for his first "interview"??? Softballs, and lies.
"ordinary viewers will determine whether it sinks or swims (sorry, couldn’t resist)."
We saw it last weekend and it is well done.
I read the book years ago but it was still well done. The actor who plays Teddy is a startling likeness.
Hillary was part of what the New York Times called Weinstein's "complicity machine":
Yup. She got her start as an apprentice in Bill Clinton's "complicity machine" -- before she was promoted to Weinstein's "complicity machine"
Wrong again Ann.
The interview was not "cancelled", it was rescheduled. hell of a story.
Ann said..."Totally missed that on proofreading. It would have taken me a long time to notice.
I apologize if anyone was confused."
We're more gender confused every day. I didn't notice.
@Michael K,
Re Chappaquiddick
We saw it last weekend and it is well done.
I saw it and liked it too. If that movie is made in 1972, Teddy's career is toast.
One nagging point. In his written statement, 10 hours after the accident, Teddy says he can't remember how he got out of the car.
The car turned over and sank into the water and landed with the roof resting on the bottom. I attempted to open the door and the window of the car but have no recollection of how I got out of the car.
This is a lie. He would remember how he exited the car. The car is submerged in only 4 or 5 feet of shallow water. He either opened the door or rolled down the window.
So, Why would he lie about not remembering such a basic fundamental detail? He repeated this lie a few days later on National TV. What's to gain or lose by saying, truthfully, I pushed open the door, squeezed myself out and swam to the top?
What's to gain or lose by saying, truthfully, I pushed open the door, squeezed myself out and swam to the top?
My understanding, as I have never tried it, is that opening a car door under water is impossible. Rolling down a window, with a hand cranked window, would probably be possible. My 1953 Buick Skylark convertible had hydraulic power windows. Did his car ? I had a 1968 Ford Mustang convertible and I can't remember how the windows worked. Electric windows would probably not work under water.
I don't know the answer.
I don't remember if the divers ever mentioned the door or windows.
"i'm assuming that Ronan should be a he, not a she"
A totally unwarranted assumption.
I believe he still does weekly calls with Carville, him, and Rahm.
"My understanding, as I have never tried it, is that opening a car door under water is impossible"
That's my understanding too.
Which means Teddy didn't escape by opening the door.
Which means Teddy could have only escaped through the window. But that raises a buncha problems: (a) no evidence that rescue diver (John Farrar) found the car with the window open, (b) the open window should have been an escape route for MJK or at least, a rescue route by Teddy and his 2 lackeys who claimed they dove down several times to try to pull her out and (c) the open window presumably would have flooded the car, causing MJK to drown. But apparently the diver found her sitting up right with a large air pocket, wherein she suffocated.
If no exit thru door was possible, and no window was open, that means Teddy was not in the car and lied about everything.
Just food for thought, no grand conspiracy theories.
"Why would he lie about not remembering such a basic fundamental detail?"
Certainly he was peddling a confusion/PTSD sorta defense.
Hillary was likely irritated that Weinstein didn't make any moves on her.
"is that opening a car door under water is impossible."
Doesn't that depend on how much water is inside the car (i.e. to equalize the pressure)
Also, how long did it take to sink? He may have opened the door while it was still on the surface/near the surface.
BAG, all good points.

Also good points but I think I have read that it is impossible to open a car door under water,
This PM article, which won't let me read because of my ad blocker, says roll down the windows.
I think power windows would probably fail.
Water surged into the car through the left front window, which was rolled down, and the two right windows, which were blown out by impact. “I remember thinking as the cold water rushed in around my head that I was, for certain, drowning. But somehow I struggled to the surface alive.” (In subsequent public comments, Kennedy never has been able to recall how he escaped from the car underwater. He does recall “the movement of Mary Jo next to me, the struggling, perhaps hitting or kicking me.”]
Upon surfacing, Kennedy “was swept away by the tide that was flowing at an extraordinary rate through that narrow cut” and “couldn’t swim at that time because of the current.”

@Darrell,
Nice find. Maybe that's it.
Here's a 50-min interview with the diver, John Farrar," who retrieved MJK's body from the car.
Maybe, I'll listen to it on the weekend to see whether windows were open or blasted out, when he dove down to get her.
He wasn't surprised surprised.
"He does recall “the movement of Mary Jo next to me, the struggling, perhaps hitting or kicking me."
--
Would be the only element of justice served.
I'm sure Hillary consulted with Stephanopolis, and determined that she wouldn't be able to see the questions ahead of time, then she cancelled.
""Oh, I'm surprised at that," which I find funny, and Mediaite left out. I find it funny — and I believe this is why Mediaite left it out — because I read Stephanopoulos to be lying ."
Do progs ever not lie? Do they ever discuss any hot topic in a way you and I would consider honest?
Hillary's feminist credentials. LOL.
What? Like savaging Bill's accusers and victims? Yeah - some serious feminist credentials right there. Oh right, when you're on the left, simply having a vagina and never-ending ambition is solid feminist credential enough.
Good find on the Chappaquiddick car thing.
It's surprising, if the windows were open, that Gargan and the other guy could not find her. She was alive for hours.
Ted Kennedy didn't abandon Mary Jo Kopechne when his car plunged off a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island ... he didn't even know she was in the car, according to a retired CIA operative.
We've been asked not to use the CIA person's name, but he worked for the agency for decades. He says back in 1969, Kennedy was romantically involved with the wife of a very powerful politician, and if word got out about the affair Kennedy was afraid it would ruin his career.
The operative says the night of the accident Kennedy and some of his buddies were all drunk and drove to a party on the Island. They went there because the politician's wife was at the party and Kennedy wanted to hook up with her. Mary Jo Kopechne was at the party ... she and Kennedy were acquaintances but not romantically involved.
According to the operative, Mary Jo was drunk, said she had a headache, got up and said she was going into one of the bedrooms to lie down.
At some point later in the evening, Kennedy and the politician's wife wanted "some alone time" and didn't want to do anything in front of the group, so they got in the car and drove ... eventually plunging off the bridge into the water. They both swam to shore safely. The operative says both were not injured.
The operative says unbeknownst to either Kennedy or the politician's wife, Mary Jo apparently was unable to sleep in the house because of the noise, so she went into the back seat of the car where she fell asleep ... which is where she died. At least one person at the party knew Mary Jo had gone into one of the cars and told authorities that after the accident.

Above as a link
More on Joe Gargan, who tried to find Mary Jo.
According to The Boston Globe, a 1988 interview Gargan gave cast light on the machinations that occurred after the car plunged into the waters and did not cast Ted Kennedy in a favorable light. Gargan “claimed that Kennedy wanted to create a scenario in which Gargan would ‘discover’ the accident and inform the police that Kopechne had left the party alone and driven off the bridge. Gargan heatedly rejected the plan,” the Globe reported.
Teddy was still in the Senate then.
Lyin' of the Senate
Mutaman falsely claims the interview was not canceled. Read the mediaite story which explicitly says the interview was canceled and the later it was rescheduled. Nice try Mutaman.
I wonder what Al Franken is up to these days.
Media today would demand Chappaquiddick answers
Media today would demand Chappaquiddick answers
As aggressively as they pushed Hillary for answers.
#MeToo #FeministsKnew #FeministsProgressed
From one real and imagined extreme to something altogether progressive.
The tell-tale hearts beat ever louder.
Why could Kennedy not have been thrown from the car when it went over? Or opens the door and jumped with the door closing as it went into the water? That makes more sense than him rolling down the window underwater.
And also seems in character - save himself before the crash.
Darrel,
Is there any content at the link when you view it? Seems scrubbed.
Both links, Readers Digest and TMZ seem to be working just fine. Try again.

That’s why you should have a Lifehammer in the car, within reach.
Or a spring-loaded center punch.
Or a Colt M1911.
Why do we know so much about the details of the relationship between Trump and Stormy and so little about the relationship between Hillary and Harvey? Did Harvey ever bathrobe her or act in an inappropriate way? Did he spank her with a pile of Hollywood campaign checks? Why did Hillary ignore the warnings from Dunham and others? For that matter, why weren't there more warnings from all her dear friends in Hollywood? What is noticeable about the relationship between Harvey and Hillary is the utter lack of interest that reporters show to this story........The Chappaqiddick story is exemplary and not cautionary for the media. Report it for a week and then forget about it for fifty years.
Did Harvey ever bathrobe her or act in an inappropriate way?
I take it you’re vision impaired.
Someone said that Snuffaluffagus was a bright guy.
NONSENSE.
Yeah, try that moronic conspiracy theory. Drive YOUR CAR off of a bridge, and jump out just i the nick of time, only to have the woman in the car, live thru the crash, and only die later of asphyxiation. Use your damn brain, if you have one
Rapists get off more on the act of rape than on the desirability of their victims. Harvey would undoubtedly find a lot of frisson in sexually abusing such a prominent figure. Can you prove it didn't happen? There should be open minded inquiries along these lines. Hillary should be made to answer about the sexual content of her relationship with Harvey. Was she subject to blackmail by this man? So many unanswered questions.
Chuck Challenge #1
Say something germane about the appropriateness of George Stephanopoulos being a journalist. (Either Way)
Chuck Challenge #2
Give a germane comment about Hillary and Weinstein's relationship (either way)
Chuck Challenge #3 (This is the tough one)
Do not, once, in this entire thread, change the subject to Trump, attacking other commenters for defending Trump, allude to Trump or give a passing reference to the WH or any of it's occupants in any way shape or form. Address ONLY Hillary, Weinstein, Ronam or Stephanopoulos
Chuck Challenge #4
As a Life Long Republican, avoid any 'whataboutism' in slurring the Republican party and anything related to Fox News. Any real Republican paying attention would have ZERO problem with this. In fact, any real Republican would be in a pretty constant state of fury at the majority of the media.
So...Chuck...can you accept that challenge?
Darrel,
I'm talking about the cnn one I posted
Do you mean the same George Stephanapoulos who was a big $75k donor to the Clinton Foundation but failed to disclose that as he posed as an "objective" journalist?
The same George Stephanapoulos who planted a partisan question about birth control to Mitt Romney of all people on behalf of the Obama campaign?
The same one who made his bones handling the Bimbo Eruptions?
Will: "The same George Stephanapoulos who planted a partisan question about birth control to Mitt Romney of all people on behalf of the Obama campaign?"
The same George Stephanapoulos who somehow, someway, all totally on the up and up mind you, no shenanigans involved whatsoever perish the thought, somehow got through on a totally open number, no secret number mind you, for a Larry King Live townhall where citizens were encouraged to call in and ask the sitting President questions.
Good old "straight down the middle" CNN.
Now don't your criticize them. Oh no, don't you dare lest you invite the wrath of LLR and #StrongCNNDefender Chuck upon you.
See it for yourself.

Honest broker media.....
Harvey would undoubtedly find a lot of frisson in sexually abusing such a prominent figure.
The Evil Shrew-Bitch Succubus whose glare is capable of shriveling a man's penis at forty paces?
Now if you told me Hillary exposed herself to Harvey as an asexual power play, I might believe you.

I was under the impression that as long as there was a certain amount of water in the car to equalize pressure, it would be possible to open the door. I've done recreational diving in lakes with sunken vehicles as objects of interest and can say that fully flooded objects can be manipulated. Failing that, I think it's possible to roll down the windows, or even have the windows shatter from the pressure differential (though unlikely this would have happened at 4-5 foot water depth). This wouldn't change the fact that a trapped air bubble would give Mary Jo an airspace where she could suffocate instead of drown.
There is an intentionally sunken naval vessel in the Florida Keys at 130 ft. depth that still has an air pocket you can poke your head into. The dive guides warn you not to take out your respirator in the pocket because there's no oxygen left to breathe.
George Stepenfetchit doesn’t think we know he’s dumb.
I've done recreational diving in lakes with sunken vehicles as objects of interest and can say that fully flooded objects can be manipulated.
I think the issue was that the car was not filled and waiting for it to fill might not be a good idea.
If one or more windows was open, why did the first divers (Gargan and Markham) fail to see an opening and get her out ?
