Stephanopoulos: “We Asked Tough But Appropriate Questions”

Politico’s Michael Calderone talked with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos today about the criticism he and Charlie Gibson have been getting over last night’s debate. “We asked tough but appropriate questions,” Stephanopoulos said. When Calderone asked whether questions about flag pins or Bosnia are relevant to voters, Stephanopoulos replied: “Absolutely.”

“I think [the criticism] just comes with the territory…I think you’re going to find a wide range of opinions,” Stephanopoulos said.

TVNewser has learned ABC News may address the growing criticism tonight on Gibson’s World News. We’ll let you know more, when we know more…

> Update: TVNewser has learned Gibson is planning to reference the debate criticism tonight on his broadcast.
