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.

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.

If one is fired from CNN, where does one go? Al Jeezera?

That would seem to be the next step down. Everytime I hear the name Al Jazeera, my mind automatically changes it to Al Zajeera. Like Christiane, jeering at America seems to be its strong suit.

I think Mata-Hari-Amapur would be right at home with Al Jeezera. (I know I've misspelled her name, but I don't give a damn)! :-)

I thought this woman was long gone. She has nothing new to say except what the Clintons tell her to say. I see they have started their campaign of running everyone down super time. They have been running Bush down all the time but they have accelerated. Isn't it a shame that you have to use these tactics to win?

So CNN did not "do its job"? I assume this means "questioning authority" and "holding the Americans to account." If people aren't doing their jobs, that calls for mass firings at CNN, eh, Christiane?

I think it's funny the news ditzes like Amanpour and that other one at MSNBC who used to have her own show can't hold their liberal tongues. Have to be able to "express themselves," don't you know. Arrogance? More like stupidity for revealing their real colors.

So to net this out, she's complaining that Fox News and the Bush administration prevented her from being able to lie in her normal manner?

Too much truth out there is forcing her to change her anti-American tone?

Armanpour married a reporter right after the Gulf War I. Was it Arnett? I asked this on another thred, but did not get an answer.
Just curious. They would be qite a pair.

How much more anti-American could CNN go? They covered for Saddam and his rape rooms, torture chambers and industrial people shredders.

If blocking the world from knowing what Saddam was really doing to his own people, while partying on his dime wasn't enough, what was?

CNN expressed more contempt for Bush than for Saddam. If that's "holding back", I wonder what it would have been like if they had felt free to be what they really wanted to be. Sick.

I'm still confused. Does the "War Slut" mean to try to tell us that they could have been more anti-American in their war reporting, but chose not to out of fear?
