Amanpour Explains Away Looming Dem Defeat: Policies 'Successful' But 'Messaging' Not
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Those Democrats were just too focused on doing the right thing for the American people. And gosh darn it, they were "successful."

Unfortunately, in their determination to save the country, they forgot about "politics" and "messaging." That's why they're facing defeat at the polls two days from now. So went Christiane Amanpour's rationalization on GMA today.

This was Mike Dukakis’s method, too—the underlying message being, “We didn’t do the wrong thing, you people are just too stupid to understand the good we’ve done for you.”

Amanour is a patronizing, condescending bore.

With nitwits like this delivering “the news” it’s no wonder that the public is so ill-informed and the world is consequently in such a mess.

No, Christiane, despite your best efforts, people are getting “the message” just fine.

Democrats were just too focused on doing the right thing for the American people controlling nearly every aspect of Americans' lives.

I don’t know when George Will’s contract is up with this bunch, but he needs to divorce himself from them as soon as possible. This used to be an interesting show, but with her, it is morphing into looking like an MSNBC show.

This is so absurd. The columnist Clarence Page said the same thing on TV recently. They have not explained their success well enough! It is wrong on so many levels. How can 0bama not be communicating well enough when he is on TV constantly?? They must think all his media appearances are a big waste of time. He is on the stump all the time whining and wailing with his nasty partisan tone screaming to the crowds about how great he is and how evil the Republicans are. I would say he is getting his message across just fine, and people are not buying it.

The biggest problem with so terribly many Democrat politicians is their overuse of botox. It really does have an impact on their ability to discern anger in others ~ leading to the concusion that everybody else is just too stupid to understand how great they are.

With Christiane Amanpour I don't think her problem is botoxification ~ she's just STUPID.

Can this woman actually be stupid enough to believe what she is saying? If so, how can she get through the day?

"Amanpour: if only Dems had explained their “successful” policies better."

It seems to be a simple task: all you have to do is explain how 10% unemployment is so much better than 5%.

She gets her talking points from her Dem. husband who used to be a Clinton staffer.

Good grief! This dolt really is as stupid as she looks. Keep peddling that snake oil, Ms. Amanpour, I’m sure your fellow buddies in the Dinosaur Media will continue to buy it, but I won’t.

I guess she will still be in shock after Tuesday’s political tsunami hits.

Yes, but she dresses like a man and has that cool way of pronouncing her own name. She obviously knows what she is talking about.
