As we continue with America’s most left-biased, working journalist list, we feature a woman that takes herself quite seriously and un-ironically as a non-opinion-styled journalist. CNN’s Christiane Amanpour really does think that no one can tell that she is a true-blue left-winger. Sadly, there is that all too human penchant of fooling oneself as much as one tries to fool others with this one. But that doesn’t stop her from making the claim.
In 2008, for instance, Amanpour said of herself:
I stay away from commentary and I stay away from ideology. All this stuff that we have seen marching into the space of fact-based news over the last several years, the highly opinionated, highly ideological [demagoguery] that exists and masquerades as journalism. I draw a line and I stay in the fact-based reality.

That would be really hard narrowing it down to just 10!
Eleanor Clift has to be in there somewhere.
It would seem there could easily be the top 100 or even 1000. There are just so many dishonest leftist journalists.
The voting differentials have got to be like the millisecond differences between the first four or five speed skaters in the Olympics.
I would differentiate between “reporters” and “commentators/columnists”.
Ms Amanpour definitely would qualify and it is scary to think there are seven that are even more biased. If Dan Rather is not on the list he should at least merit a “lifetime achievement award”.
Just for old time's sake, I nominate him again, this time for being one of America's top-ten journalistic lefties.
If he "wins" again this time, I suggest we present him with a trophy of some kind, maybe a gold-plated sand dollar, and he can store it in Al Capone's vault till he croaks, leaving it to the Smithsonian in his will.

Naw, Eleanor Clift doesn’t qualify as a journalist. Showing up and yapping her gums on NPR occasionally doesn’t get her into the club...dispised yes, but not a journalist.
