George Stephanopoulos discloses $75,000 contribution to Clinton Foundation

18. Its not just conflict of interest, its also appearance of impropriety.

And yes, you WOULD be asked by your employer to disclose that you donated to ASPCA if you did a story on animals. I've seen reporters mention associations numerous times and there was nothing to be gained involved. For example, you do a story on casino gambling and you would disclose that you used to work as a dealer. You're not gaining anything from doing the story, but your boss doesnt want someone coming up saying the story was slanted because you used to be in the business. Certainly everyone knows Steph worked for the Clintons, but when he questioned the author of the book on the foundation he definitely should've told viewers he had donated.
I dont know of anyone in the business who has said he didnt have to.
