Christiane Amanpour, the Chief international correspondent of Cable News Network grew up in Tehran where her father was a shill for the Shah's government. Since that the overthrow of the of the Shah, Christiane, a Roman Catholic, has been making up for her father's support of the Shah by supporting Islamic Terrorism every chance she has. Christiane cut her teeth on her her one-sided coverage of the conflict in Bosnia. Since then she has continued to support the Islamofacist cause every chance she can; be it her admiration for Yassir Arafat (a terrorist and baby killer) right down the line...

cnnnewsroom@cnn.com   When will Islamized Amanpour explain the west to HER Arab bigoted world?   April 6, 2009   Christiane Amanpour was all smiles, overly excited to CNN's anchor's announcement of Obama's words to Turkey: "US is not, never will be at war with Islam".In an orchestrated "question" by CNN's news anchor she was "asked" what US population "know" or feel about Islam, she said that 55% don't know much about Islam and 48% view Islam unfavorably, all in a programmed leading up to her prepared statement that she is going to have a program about "education Americans on Islam" -...

The invitation was on creamy stationery with fancy calligraphy: The Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran "requests the pleasure" of my company to dine with H.E. Dr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The dinner is at the Intercontinental Hotel — with names carefully written out at all the place settings around a rectangular table. There are about 50 of us, academics and journalists mostly. There's Brian Williams across the room, and Christiane Amanpour a few seats down. And at a little after 8pm, on a day when he has already addressed the U.N., the evening after his confrontation at Columbia, a...

God’s Warriors oh I get it, the, “more people have been killed in the name of religion than any other belief system,” argument which isn’t even remotely true. More people have been killed in the name of secular humanistic philosophies and practices than have been killed on behalf of religion. [Come on Ms. Amanpour you'll have to do better than that!]

The three part series on Christianity, Islam and Judaism is an enormous six hour long undertaking presented by veteran reporter Christiane Amanpour who is known to millions of Americans for her stellar reporting during the early days of the Iraq war.

For several weeks CNN has been hyping their miniseries God’s Warriors as an “unprecedented six-hour television event.” The series dedicates two hours each to “God’s Jewish Warriors,” “God’s Muslim Warriors,” and “God’s Christian Warriors.” Prior to the first airing, CNN invited several bloggers to preview a few clips from the series and to submit a question for Christiane Amanpour to be answered during a special webcast. The three clips provided by CNN each highlighted one of the “fundamentalist” branches of the three Abrahamic faiths: the segment on Jews focused on theocratic Israeli settlers, including the man who assassinated Yitzhak Rabin;...

“In the Footsteps of bin Laden” is the work of Christiane Amanpour and Peter Bergen, the CNN consultant who famously interviewed the terrorist in a cave in Afghanistan in 1997. Mr. Bergen, on whose book “The Osama bin Laden I Know” this program is partly based, is mindful of the ways his subject manipulates the American media. He admits that Mr. bin Laden gave his first interview to Peter Arnett on CNN because he wanted to “use” the cable news channel to promote jihad. Nonetheless, in tonight’s documentary, Mr. Bergen sounds awed anew by the cloak-and-dagger shenanigans that Mr. bin...

If Davie Rossie's ramblings were simply those of one more angry liberal pundit, they'd hardly be worth a comment. But what makes his utterances noteworthy is that when Rossie isn't churning out his once-a-week column, he is editing the news for the Gannett chain. Rossie is Associate Editor of Gannett's Binghamton paper, the Press & Sun Bulletin. In today's column, 'Once There Were Giants in Television News', Rossie laments that they aren't making TV newsmen like Edgar R. Murrow any more. With what might be condemned as sexism, nay, misogyny, had it been suggested by a conservative critic, Rossie grumps...

- Iran lifted its ban on CNN on Tuesday, a day after the government barred the U.S. network from the country because of its mistranslation of nuclear comments by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, state television reported. Ahmadinejad ordered the reversal "due to the expression of an apology" from CNN over the mistranslation, the state-run TV broadcast said. Iran imposed the ban after CNN misquoted the president as speaking of developing "nuclear weapons" when he actually referred to "nuclear technology." CNN admitted the mistake in a broadcast. Hard-liners called the mistranslation a deliberate act to misrepresent Iran's position at a crucial moment...

Harvard University is ordered to pay back over $20 million to the US government as part of a settlement deal resulting from a multi-million dollar scam. Two Harvard employees are also ordered make restitution bringing the total settlement to $31 million. Two senior Harvard University advisors, Andre Shleifer and Jonathan Hay were paid under a US Agency for International Development grant to lead a project to provide advice to the nascent Russian economy on privatization following the fall of communism and the creation of fair and open markets and the rule of law. The US Attorney's Office alleged that instead,...

Last night I was burning the midnight oil watching Christiane Amanpour over at CNN-UN. They rushed her in from some war zone somewhere. And she was talking in her lofty tones about the Pope, and she got egg all over her face by the time she was finished: AMANPOUR: He never once did sit down with the press. He never really gave a formal interview. I know so many people would have wanted to talk to him. Do you think that it was extraordinary that he did not? JIM BITTERMAN: Well I think that's not exactly true, Christiane. In fact...

The staff of Unicef’s Sri Lanka operation are in their Colombo offices dealing as best they can with a flood of desperate people, people at the end of their tether, people in overwhelming need of immediate help. CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, for instance. Ms Amanpour, or at least her producer, wants two orphans, preferably brothers who have lost at least six other members of their families, please, on the coast road between Bentota and Galle, tomorrow after two o’clock local time for a Sri Lanka — Land In Turmoil prime-time special. It is now 7.30 p.m. When approached by his assistant...

Thu Jun 24, 6:07 PM ET Pamela McClintock, STAFFIn a sweeping apology to TV and print journalists covering Iraq ( - ), a contrite Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz said Thursday he was wrong in accusing them of sitting in their Baghdad hotels and publishing rumors.   "Just let me say to each of you who have worked so hard and taken such risks to cover this story, I extend a heartfelt apology and hope you will accept it," Wolfowitz wrote in the letter, dispatched via email. "I understand well the enormous dangers that you face, and want to...

<p>September 16, 2003 -- CNN news chief Jim Walton had a "private converation" with reporter Christiane Amanpour after she accused her own network of being "intimidated" in its coverage of the Iraqi war.</p> <p>Amanpour, a guest on last week's "Topic A with Tina Brown" on CNBC, set off shockwaves in the TV world over the weekend when she said she thought her employer, CNN, was "muzzled" in its war coverage by a combination of the White House and its competitive position with the higher-rated Fox News Channel.</p>

This Is CNN: Iraqi Celebration An "Orgy" April 11, 2003 Let's remember, now, that everything we hear from CNN we have to place in the context of what we now know - that the CNN director of news knew about horrors that were going on in Iraq for 12 years. In light of that, I want you to listen to a sound bite from Christiane Amanpour, Wednesday on Larry King Live. Amanpour complained that structures in Iraq have not remained in place, leading to looting and violence. What structures? The torture chambers and the rape rooms? Here is a CNN...

Before and after Sept. 11, 2001, the most prominent television anchor, journalist and authority on Islam and the Islamic world was CNN's chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour, who was born and grew up in an Islamic country, Iran.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - The military is offering reporters better access to American forces in a potential war with Iraq than they had in Afghanistan or the Persian Gulf, leading journalists said Monday. But the journalists said they remain wary of those promises, given the way they say the Pentagon handled journalists' access to U.S. forces in Afghanistan. "We got essentially zip, nothing of any value, during that campaign," CNN's Christiane Amanpour said at a forum on covering war and bioterrorism at the University of Michigan. Amanpour, the cable network's chief international correspondent, said the military needs to balance...
