On the heels of his “To Catch A Journalist” sting video, conservative activist James O’Keefe sat for a nearly 30-minute interview for Mediaite on Monday, discussing his attacks on Huffington Post’s Sam Stein, his discrediting of Rutgers Professor Jeff Keefe, and his infamous “CNN Caper.”

In the final portion of our interview, I asked O’Keefe for his thoughts on mainstream journalism, and he revealed that some of his journalistic heroes include Mike Wallace and Jake Tapper.

The former president of Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf, told ABC News’ Chris Cuomo that elements of Pakistan’s Inter-Service Intelligence Agencies and military may have helped protect Osama bin Laden, but Musharraf insisted the U.S. was wrong to stage its assault on the bin Laden compound without Pakistan’s consent. “No government can accept a violation of their sovereignty,” Musharraf said.

About five years ago if you asked any regular Today Show watcher who would take over as co-host if Matt Lauer ever left, the answer would have been an easy one: David Gregory. The natural and smooth (and tall!) Gregory had been the fill in for Lauer just about every time Lauer took any time off. He even boogied live at the 30 Rock plaza to show off his “lighter side.” But these days an 8-11AM Today Show watcher who doesn’t follow politics closely (Gregory appears to be on pretty regularly in the first half hour talking politics) might very well say David who?

ABC‘s Chris Cuomo hosts an online show called The Real Deal, which promises to take “all the spin away from stories that affect your life, so you can make your own decisions.” In this special “Main Street vs. Wall Street” episode, Cuomo displays real passion and promises to investigate whether “businesses matter more than the working man” to the government?

As the Great Mosque Debate of 2010 rolls into what feels like its billionth week, it’s clear that tensions are rising steadily higher. With all of the televised shouting matches and roadside stabbings out there, it’s not at all surprising that discourse on the internet, the official home of unbridled rage, has gotten pretty bad. How bad? Well, a respected journalist is apparently organizing brawls outside of ABC’s New York headquarters.

ABC will air exclusive Jaycee Dugard home videos tonight on 20/20 at 10pm, depicting her interacting with family for the first time since her reunion with them. A preview is on the new online page of ABC News: 20/20 anchor and ABC News Chief Law and Justice Correspondent Chris Cuomo‘s “Cuomo on the Case,” officially launches tonight and promises to become a staple in network news online content.

So did you watch George Stephanopoulos‘ debut this morning on Good Morning America?

Millions of people did – and ABCNews.com is letting them sound off in a “shout out” section on GMA‘s site. Judging from the comments, the fans are not pleased.

After weeks of speculation, ABC has finally confirmed what everyone knew all along: George Stephanopoulos has been named host of Good Morning America, headline a series of moves that effectively reshuffles the ABC talent assignments. The other big news is that fan favorite Chris Cuomo will now host 20/20. Cuomo’s spot at GMA will now be filled by JuJu Chang. Full press release after the jump.

RadarOnline reported exclusively today that Chris Cuomo had resigned as co-anchor of Good Morning America, and speculated that he might land as host of NBC’s Dateline. According to GossipCop it turns out that they got this entirely wrong. Cuomo has not resigned from ABC nor GMA. Update – ABC confirms that the rumor is completely untrue.

The Washington Post is reporting that This Week host George Stephanopoulos has been offered the highly visible position of co-hosting “Good Morning America.” A source tells Mediaite that the offer was made at least a week ago, raising questions about why this story broke now. Even more curious is the report that Stephanopolous was only asked, not that he accepted the gig. One wonders if this still leaves open the possibility for Chris Cuomo to get the spot.

Many changes are about to take place at ABC News, as Charlie Gibson officially signs off as anchor of World News December 18.

If George Stephanopoulos gets Diane Sawyer‘s GMA gig, Nightline anchor Terry Moran could be the odds-on favorite at This Week.

As Mediaite reported last week, George Stephanopoulos came out of the blocks a strong contender for the Good Morning America anchor slot opened up when Diane Sawyer left to host World News. But lately, Chris Cuomo is giving him a run for his money. Over at AOL, Cuomo appears to be the favorite for the job among readers.

This morning Jon Gosselin of Jon & Kate Plus 8, uh, “fame” appeared this morning in a much-talked about exclusive interview on ABC’s Good Morning America. But besides the news made, it’s also notable who conducted the interview – Chris Cuomo.

Will this bigger exposure up his odds to get the Diane Sawyer open seat?

When news broke Wednesday Diane Sawyer would be taking over for a retiring Charlie Gibson as anchor of ABC’s World News, one reason it seemed so abrupt was there appeared to be no immediate plan for how the network would fill the huge hole left on Good Morning America.

In a New York Times interview the next day, GMA Executive Producer Jim Murphy promised that “further big changes are to come,” so – let the speculation begin. Who takes Sawyer’s old gig? It’s time for another edition of Mediaite Oddsmakers:

Jake Tapper twittered earlier this morning that House Majority Leader Tom DeLay will be competing on Dancing With the Stars this season. Um. Can that be true?

Good Morning America is announcing the new cast this morning so the timing makes sense at least (though we’d admittedly be impressed to discover that Tapper was capable of pulling a Twitter practical joke of this sort). But still! It would certainly give a whole new meaning to Hammer time. UPDATE: He’s in!

This is Good Morning America‘s Chris Cuomo, on a fishing excursion in Montauk this weekend. He is holding a giant fish.
