Christiane Amanpour’s ‘Mission’
TV Newser ^ | September 25, 2010 | Alex Werpin

Posted on 09/25/2010 1:25:39 PM PDT by Beaten Valve

ABC News “This Week” anchor Christiane Amanpour gets interviewed by the Columbia Journalism Review.

Among other topics, she discusses her passion for international reporting, and whether the American audience, particularly the traditional Sunday morning audience, is interested in watching that.

The bottom line is this: I have a mission and my mission has been to bring, through all my work, a broader understanding of the world to U.S. viewers—first with my job at CNN and now at ABC with This Week…

I’m not going to put the cart before the horse. I’m just going to say that I’m pleased with the way we have been received so far. I understand that this is a big challenge. I understand that it is somewhat counterintuitive. And therefore I understand how hard my team and I have to work. But I’m not trying to deliver something that’s foreign.

Back when I was a J-101 student, Amanpour’s reporting style was called "Yellow Journalism"...

The Warslut is a female Geraldo. Nothing more. Her “understanding of the world” is something I can do without.

Since when is hating Israel a “broader understanding”?

Since upwards of 150 of the 192 “Countries” in the UN hate Israel. You don’t get much broader than that.

She is insufferably smug and dangerously bigoted. That she should have such a platform is a disgrace and a betrayal. There was NO ONE ELSE IN THE WORLD they could get to do that job who didn’t hate and resent our country?

Her mission has been to brainwash her viewers.

CNN and I guess ABC think her accent gives her credence with east and west coasters. Here in fly over country we have no frikin' idea what the heck she is saying!

How old is Christiane these days? Seems like she has been pimping for the DemocRATS forever.

“The Warslut is a female Geraldo. Nothing more. Her “understanding of the world” is something I can do without.”

Well stated-I’ll doubledown on that comment.

Broader understanding...which translates into acceptance of the liberal agenda and viewpoint.

Don’t worry...Christiane will be out of a job soon enough. Installing her as the host of “This Week” (at $2 million a year) was the idea of David Westin, recently forced out as President of ABC News.

With Westin no longer in the executive suite (and Amanpour’s ratings still in the toilet), the folks at Disney will send her packing soon enough. I give her a year in the job, at most.

Gee Amanpour... I sure do hate being an ignant American with no concept of international understanding... good to see that a marxist antisemitic, pro Hammas hag like yourself is watching out for my ignant ass because I don't know what I would do... Dumb cow.

In a perverse way, I agree with her agenda.

Americans need a vastly more engaged understanding of the world to resist the Anti Americanism and Anti Semitism of folks like Christiane Amanpour.

The world could be much further along in its advancement and well being— which is also a fact withheld by Amanpour and others- if we fully deconstructed her false worldview.
