After Savaging Fox News, Amanpour Bemoans ‘Destructive’ Media Criticism
By Kyle Drennen | April 8, 2019 4:35 PM EDT

During an interview with Third Hour Today show co-host Sheinelle Jones aired on Monday, PBS anchor Christiane Amanpour denounced criticism of the media as being “corrosive and destructive” to democracy. The comments came just days after the reporter vilely attempted to link Fox News to the recent terrorist attacks in New Zealand.

Talking to Amanpour at Variety’s Power of Women gala on Friday, Jones gushed: “Following years of reporting from the front lines and in the newsroom, it’s no surprise that Christiane Amanpour believes in the Committee to Protect Journalists.” Amanpour, who was being honored at the event, declared: “We are watching an era in which life for journalists becomes tougher and tougher, more and more dangerous. We are truth tellers, we’re truth seekers, we go for the evidence and the facts.”

We are truth tellers, we’re truth seekers, we go for the evidence and the facts.”

"We are truth tellers, we’re truth seekers, we go for the evidence and the facts.”

Shouldn't Amanpour be concerned about lightning striking her when she lies like that?

She is a committed leftist/communist.
What else would you expect from her, other than... lies...?

I probably should be used to it by now, but I'm constantly amazed by their profound tone deafness. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm not.  I watched Amanpour before.  She has a nasty axe to grind against Israel. They're the cause of all the strife in the Middle East, doncha know? A tiny country of nine million people surrounded by angry Islamic countries that don't contribute one one hundredth of what Israel contributes to science, technology, and medicine.

I agree. And I'm a fool for expecting more out of "journalists." It's distressing that they're continually given platforms to bastardize their chosen profession.
