This little TDS leftist is a glutton for continued humiliation.

ABC’s George Stephanopoulos’ recent appearances are one public humiliation after another.

Last week, Vice President JD Vance schooled the far-left host before abruptly ending the interview.

Vance called Stephanopoulos out for continuing to push hoaxes despite losing credibility with the American people, and ABC pulled the plug on the interview.

Stephanopoulos attempted to press Vance on the bogus story. When Vance pushed back and embarrassed him, Stephanopoulos briefly tried to defend himself before abruptly ending the interview without allowing Vance to respond.

A few days later, during a bilateral lunch with the President of Argentina, President Trump cut off ABC News and refused to take a question from one of their reporters after George Stephanopoulos’s behavior with Vance.

“You’re ABC Fake News! I don’t take questions from ABC Fake News after what you did with Stephanopoulos to the Vice President of the United States. I don’t take questions from ABC Fake News,” Trump said.

Stephanopoulos, smarting from repeated humiliations, tried to get Walmart U.S. CEO John Furner to bash President Trump for “harming the economy” with his tariffs. Furner, however, refused to take the bait and delivered another embarrassing blow to Stephanopoulos.

When Stephanopoulos tried to claim the economy is in a tailspin, citing a rise in turkey prices ahead of Thanksgiving, Furner pushed back, saying that not only will Walmart’s turkeys will be at their “lowest since 2019,” the cost of their Thanksgiving basket for ten will be “$14 cheaper than last year.

“Let’s talk about Thanksgiving first,” Stephanopoulos began. “Food prices are up, especially turkey, so what are you doing to keep the costs down?”

Furner responded, “We are really excited for what we have planned this year at Thanksgiving. I can’t believe it’s already that time of year. But this is a time of year when people are busy. They don’t want to sacrifice quality and we want to do all we can to help them to celebrate the holiday any way they want and we want to do it in a way that’s very affordable with a lot of value.”

He continued, “So I want to talk about a couple things with the Thanksgiving basket. First, we started putting this idea together, of having the entire basket easy to purchase, easy to assemble back in 2022.”

“And this year, we will have the best prices on this basket since the program started.”

“We’re down about 25% since last year, down about $14 for the basket, which puts us in a position where this basket is just under $4 a person serving 10 people.”

“Our turkey prices, George, are all the way back to what they were in 2019 at 97 cents a pound.”

Stephanopoulos then tried to bait Furner into complaining about the new tariffs under the Trump administration harming the economy, but once again failed miserably.

“How about President Trump’s tariffs? They’re contributing to higher costs across the board. I know you’re absorbing some of the costs…how much is going to be passed on to the consumers as they turn to holiday items?” Stephanopoulos asked.

Furner responded, “Well George, as you know, we’re selling a really wide variety of products and about two-thirds of what we sell is either made, grown, or assembled in the United States.”

“And out merchants have done a nice job of mixing things out and this basket is a great example of where we’re keeping prices down.”

“The other thing we do at Walmart is called ‘Rollback pricing,’ which we’ve had for decades. And as we stand here today to talk to today, we have about 7,000 items Rollback which is up about 1,000 from where we began at the beginning of the year.”

He's not a likeable media person, and I'm surprised ABC hasn't figured it out yet and canned his smarmy ass. As far as ratings:

He's fallen to a 0.64 rating and has an abysmal 0.26 rating with the coveted 25-54 demographic that advertisers like. Fell 4% since VP Vance interview.

NBC's Meet the Press is 0.69 and 0.30. They're up 5% in same time period.

CBS' Face the Nation is 0.75 and 0.22. They're up 20% in same time period.

Instead, he's a behind the scenes political spin doctor best suited to character assassinations that appeal to low information demonrat voters and the puppets in legacy media. He should just work for political campaigns or scandal prone congressional critters.

That’s a little more accurate.

They don’t get much lower than Georgie. Lies and misinformation are his forte. Why he is still employed is the big question. He I just bringing more embarrassment to his network (if that’s possible ).

BOOOOM! What an awesome/honest response to such an idiot!!

Never mind. Image fail.

He's got name recognition . That's about it .

IIRC, he worked for Dick Gephardt before signing on with the Clinton campaign. He's a lefty to the bone. I can't believe anyone considers him to be a journalist.

I went to see a live taping of CNN Crossfire at GWU long ago where George was a guest. This was back in the day of Bob Novak and Micheal Kinsey, IIRC. He got spanked. But, well, he did have a job in the WH at the time and he makes bank these days.

THAT'S the way to run a company! George can go fuck himself!

Got to love that.

Numnutz is a real crackpot.

I know many here trash walmart and talk about the clientele.

We shop at walmart and while not perfect. I like it. It is not the only place we shop. But do a good business with them and like the stores we shop at.

Walmart doesn’t take prices from its suppliers; Walmart determines what sell price will drive the optimal volume for its stores, it subtracts its required profit margin, and the difference is what Walmart dictates to its suppliers as the cost Walmart will pay to its suppliers.
