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.â€
