On CBS’s Late, Late Show on early Wednesday morning, CNN’s Christiane Amanpour again claimed that she was a nonpolitical entity: “I know it’s very fashionable and trendy to wear your politics on your sleeve right now, but I just don’t.” When host Craig Ferguson favorably compared her to the late Walter Cronkite, Amanpour gushed, “He was so special. I think we really will miss him” [audio clips from the interview are available here].
Towards the end of the interview, at about 22 minutes into the 1 am Eastern hour, Ferguson asked her if she about her political stance, specifically in the context of her native Iran: “What about you and politics though? Do you find yourself in accord with Ahmadinejad?” The CNN chief international correspondent tossed a question back at him: “What do you think?” When the CBS host joked that he didn’t view her as “a big Ahmadinejad-i,” Amanpour replied with her claim of objectivity: “You know...I know it’s very fashionable and trendy to wear your politics on your sleeve right now, but I just don’t.” Ferguson complimented her, but she continued that “I feel- to be very honest with you, that- that if I went and- and treated every story through my own political lens, then how is anybody to know what’s- what’s true? Or at least as close to the objective truth.”
Ferguson replied to this claim by dropping Cronkite’s name as an example of an objective journalist, and made his glowing comparison between the dead anchor and Amanpour. In response, the CNN correspondent went on and on about how he was her role model and how much it was an honor for her to meet the now-dead journalist.

I’ll bet she also sees a beautiful thin person when she looks in the mirror, too.
The war whore denies what everyone else can see.
She is to the left of Karl Marx and supports the fall of the Western World in the name of Political Correctness.
Amandpour doesn’t have a reflection...

You mean like his March 68 Tet Offensive cave in?
sorry, I guess she actually IS thin. I’ve avoided any visual contact with her for many many years.
I find that get more reliable international news coverage from that pile of recycled Dog Chow in the back yard.

ROFLMAO!!! Good one. ;-)
She’s not political, she’s just anti-American. I doubt Ferguson knew who Cronkite was.
“Does anybody remotely conservative watch late night TV anymore?”
No, most all of us get up in the morning and go to work.
Unless we’re working 2nd or 3rd shift jobs.
No. Too many other more entertaining ways to be insulted...
Oh, I remember Christiane. She’s the one who told us that Benedict was the first Catholic Pope in 200 years.
Craig Ferguson is getting turned to the dark side. That didn’t take long.
