Amanpour

Friday’s Amanpour & Co. show on PBS celebrated Mahmoud Khalil, who led an extreme anti-Israel (and pro-Hamas) protest group at Columbia University. Amanpour asserted he was detained as part of “Trump's crackdown on free speech, immigration, and elite universities.” There is no First Amendment right to support violence and terrorist groups.

Thursday’s edition of Amanpour & Co., which appears on taxpayer-funded PBS, veered even further left than usual with a glowing interview of Mr. Socialist himself, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Host Christiane Amanpour’s set-up for the interview, which launched the show, left no mistaking where she stood on Trump’s big bill: On the hard left: "The bill ensures a huge transfer of…

PBS is not only lamenting that its federal funding could be cut; it is also now lamenting that Planned Parenthood’s funding has been eliminated. On Tuesday’s Amanpour and Company, guest host Bianna Golodryga and New York Times reporter Caroline Kitchener lamented not only the GOP’s Planned Parenthood decision but also the three-year anniversary of Roe v. Wade’s…

On Friday’s edition of Amanpour & Co. on PBS, host Christiane Amanpour introduced journalist Hari Sreenivasan’s segment with UC-San Diego professor and self-styled extremism expert Barbara Walter. Despite support for left-wing violence from burning Tesla and Waymo cars by anti-Musk and anti-ICE rioters, despite the anti-Semitic killings and fire-bombings, the focus was almost…

PBS’s Christiane Amanpour sat down with Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi on Tuesday to get his perspective on the ongoing war between Israel and Iran, but Amanpour’s usual mantra of being “truthful, not neutral” mostly took a back seat as she never challenged him on the regime’s anti-Semitic, eliminationist rhetoric or his rewriting of Iran-Iraq War history.

The New Yorker executive editor Michael Luo recently came out with a book chronicling the history of Chinese-Americans, and on Monday, he went on PBS’s Amanpour and Company to talk about it. During his discussion with Walter Isaacson, Luo would warn that talking about China as a threat in a foreign policy context could lead to the growth of “racial suspicion.”

President Trump’s moves against Harvard University for discrimination have spread horror among the liberal elite, including those on publicly funded television. Christiane Amanpour, host of Amanpour & Co.., talked to Harvard professor Steven Levitsky, coauthor of How Democracies Die. (Hint: He’s talking about Trump.) A full 21 minutes of the Friday show was devoted to…

One easy way to prove that PBS and NPR are like taxpayer-funded MSNBC is their promotion of radical ranter Elie Mystal of The Nation magazine. On Amanpour & Co. on Friday, Hari Sreenivasan tossed softballs at Mystal for 17 minutes over his new book Bad Law: Ten Popular Laws That Are Ruining America. On March 24, NPR's Fresh Air platformed his rage for 36…

Monday’s edition of Amanpour & Co., which airs on PBS and CNN International, was hosted by regular show fill-in Bianna Golodryga, who is probably even more bluntly liberal than the formidable Christiane Amanpour herself. The opener teased the upcoming interview with Kenneth Stern, self-styled anti-semitism expert at the Bard Center for the Study of Hate, with his hostile thoughts…

A Monday night interview between PBS’s Amanpour and Company guest host Bianna Golodryga and Turkish journalist Ece Temelkuran about the protests going on in her native country surrounding the arrest of the leader of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s main opposition took a sharp detour as Temelkuran compared Erdogan to President Donald Trump. She went so far as to claim both anti-…

Hard-left hysteric and Yale professor Jason Stanley is fleeing to Canada and tax-funded television is on it. Amanpour & Co. trumpeted that night’s guest, Yale professor Jason Stanley, absconding the US in the subject line of the show’s promotional email: "EXCLUSIVE: 'How Fascism Works' Author Jason Stanley Plans to Leave the U.S.” 

As PBS prepares to defend itself at a Wednesday Congressional hearing, the Monday edition of Amanpour and Company seemed oblivious to the stakes the network faces. Guest host Bianna Golodryga welcomed transgender Nashville city council member Olivia Hill to not only declare there are “at least three genders” but also that people who transition the other way acquire “male privilege,”…

Christiane Amanpour is an international affairs correspondent, but for Friday’s PBS edition of Amanpour, she interviewed playwright Joe Murphy and actor Stephen Kunken at the Soho Place theatre in London, where the climate change message play Kyoto, cowritten by Murphy and starring Kunken, is being performed. Amanpour, who surely considers herself an intellectual, sounded like any…

Amanpour & Co. was guest hosted on Tuesday by Paula Newton, last seen here in January fretting over the disturbing coincidence of Martin Luther King Jr. Day coinciding with the inauguration of Donald Trump. Tuesday she was talking to the architect of Obamacare to warn about the Trump Administration’s “drastic cuts” to the National Institute of Health, part of the cost-cutting…
