December 19th, 2024 10:11 PM

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…

December 8th, 2024 9:27 PM

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.

November 8th, 2024 4:00 AM

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.

PBS Platforms Ugly ‘Jim Crow’ Smear of Israel from Ta-Nehisi Coates

October 6th, 2024 8:01 PM

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

October 1st, 2024 2:45 PM

September 12th, 2024 3:35 PM

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."

July 5th, 2024 12:22 PM

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…
