PBS Oozes Over Paul Krugman: He Sees 'Resurrection' of Biden's Image
On Friday’s PBS airing of Amanpour & Co., host Christiane Amanpour introduced “the Nobel prize winning economist, Paul Krugman, who's written his last column for The New York Times, after 25 years of sharp and often indispensable takes on major issues that shape America and the world.” But NewsBusters has compiled decades of research proving Krugman’s knee-jerk…
PBS: Amanpour Laments Media ‘Kiss-the-Ring Progression to Mar-a-Lago’
Amanpour & Co. host Christiane Amanpour talked to former Washington Post executive editor Martin Baron about Trump’s “massive chilling effect” on the press on Wednesday, and added another metaphor to describe the media supposedly bowing down to Trump’s threats (since when!): Amanpour: "...we're seeing quite a lot of media and like the tech streaming titans and all the…
Amanpour Touts 'Amazing' Hillary and Michelle Cover Stories for VOGUE
On Friday, Christiane Amanpour’s show on PBS touted a new exhibition by Vogue magazine on the history of the runway show in London, “taking visitors for a catwalk down memory lane.” Then they replayed a 2019 interview with Vogue editor Anna Wintour gushing over wonderful Democrats like Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama on the cover. This felt like another diss at Melania…
CNN Hypes Doc On CNN Founder Ted Turner, Promotes His Soviet Apologia
Before her show airs on PBS, Christiane Amanpour’s daily musings air on CNN International, and on Monday that included an interview with producer Joni Levin and writer and director Keith Clarke of the new documentary Call Me Ted about CNN founder Ted Turner. During their discussion, Amanpour, who is usually very keen to label Republicans Putin apologists, hyped Turner’s record of “…
OOOPS: PBS Pushed Late Momentum for Kamala in Iowa, Swing States
The PBS News Hour’s most partisan reporter, Laura Barron-Lopez, displayed her Democratic favoritism during her long Election Night coverage from Kamala Harris’s election night headquarters. But her pro-Harris hype started before Election Day, with happy talk about Harris’s prospects in most of the swing states, none of which panned out for her campaign. The day before on the PBS…
PBS Asks Nancy Pelosi About Trump: Can America 'Survive Another Term?'
Former Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was interviewed in the studio by journalist Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday’s PBS edition of Amanpour & Co. (after airing on CNN International), based on Pelosi’s new book The Art of Power, and together they hated on Israel, Israel’s conservative leader Benjamin Netanyahu, and America’s former Republican president…
PBS Platforms Ugly ‘Jim Crow’ Smear of Israel from Ta-Nehisi Coates
Given her post-October 6 reporting, it’s no surprise that PBS/CNN host Christian Amanpour manages little sympathy for Israel’s two-front fight against Islamic terrorists of Hamas and Hezbollah, but her introduction to Friday’s Amanpour & Co. (PBS) interview of left-wing darling Ta-Nehisi Coates discussing his ignorant anti-Israel book was still a bit much: "….our next guest says…
FLASHBACK: After Hamas Massacred Israelis, the Media Attacked Israel
One year ago (October 7, 2023), Hamas terrorists invaded southern Israeli communities and murdered nearly 1,200 individuals, including babies. Yet the media quickly shifted to deploring Israel’s military campaign to remove Hamas’s capability to ever commit such an atrocity in the future.
Amanpour Omits Key Details On Ceasefire Proposal As Iran Bombs Israel
Foreign policy reporting can be tricky. You have to explain what bad people think in an honest way without coming across like you endorse their position. Christiane Amanpour failed in this on Tuesday’s CNN News Central as she omitted key facts related to a recent ceasefire proposal that she claimed could have prevented Iran’s salvo of 180 ballistic missiles on Israel.
PBS Warmth for Hezbollah: Nasrallah ‘Famous For His Sense of Humor'
Amanpour & Co. covered Israel’s bravura anti-terrorist tactic of rerigging and then mass-detonating communication gear (pages and walkie-talkies) used by the Iran-based terrorist group Hezbollah, killing and maiming thousands of terrorists. Israel was acting in response to Hezbollah firing rockets from its base in Lebanon since Hamas carried out its invasion and civilian rape and…
PBS: Trump Denouncing Walz On Abortion Is 'Extraordinarily Stupid'
During Tuesday night’s debate with Kamala Harris, Donald Trump called out Tim Walz’s extremely radical and, frankly, diabolical abortion stance as governor of Minnesota, but for PBS’s Christiane Amanpour, the fact that Trump even brought it up made him “very, very extreme,” while her panel labeled it "extraordinarily stupid."
PBS, David Frum Condemn Trump for Using Shooting 'In an Improper Way'
PBS’s Christiane Amanpour invited Never Trumper David Frum of The Atlantic to Wednesday's episode of Amanpour and Company, where he delivered his usual rigmarole of anti-Republican nonsense. This time, he downplayed the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, claiming he was using it “in an improper way.”
Amanpour Plays 'SEAL Team 6' Card on SCOTUS Ruling With Obama Lawyer
On Monday’s edition of the CNN International political interview program Amanpour, liberal host Christiane Amanpour treated new, significant Supreme Court decisions with fear and contempt, using the liberal media’s trick of emphasizing the liberal dissents from the bench, not the binding rulings from the conservative majority. Host Christiane Amanpour opened the program with "Donald…
PBS: ‘Visibly Aging Man’ vs. ‘Authoritarian-Leaning Convicted Felon'
Even after his disastrously doddering debate performance Thursday night, President Joe Biden still has his fans on public television. Friday’s edition of Amanpour & Co., which airs originally on CNN International, stitched together various thin defenses of the Biden presidency and condemnations of Donald Trump, while host Christiane Amanpour’s anti-Trump partisanship was even more…
