Al Gore is not just a former vice president, according to a Saturday CNN chyron, he is also an “eco-warrior.” Such was the context for Gore’s appearance with Christiane Amanpour as the two demanded “some massively radical thing” to be done about the supposed horror of fossil fuel usage.

Amanpour & Co. host Christiane Amanpour examined the possible 2024 Biden-Trump presidential election rematch with New York Times’ London bureau chief Mark Landler, who reveres the left-wing BBC, and Emily Maitlis, a former BBC anchor. Takeaways from their Wednesday appearance on the PBS show were that the media should highlight Biden’s essential competence and Trump’s…

There was much media angst over Donald Trump declaring he would be a dictator on “Day One” of a second term in office to promote border security and oil drilling. Scrape off the spicy language, and it sounds more like the standard executive orders every president issues upon taking…

On the PBS show Amanpour & Co., host Christiane Amanpour celebrated Latino actress America Ferrera and her monologue in the Barbie movie. Ferrera said  "it's the Barbie movie that no one asked for. That no one thought we needed, you know." Amanpour shot back: "And kind of subversively, seriously feminist."

CNN’s Christiane Amanpour tried to pressure Maryland Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen on Saturday into agreeing that South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice is “pretty conclusive” and wondered if the U.S. could stop the “mass killings” conducted, not by Hamas, but allegedly by Israel.

CNN/PBS anchor Christiane Amanpour may claim to be truthful and not neutral, but when Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib joined her on her Wednesday show to blame Israel for the twin bombings in Iran that killed 84 people at the tomb of Qasem Soleimani, Amanpour simply noted that was “your opinion,” but since the program aired, ISIS has taken credit for the attacks, which was always…

Amanpour & Co., which airs on taxpayer-supported PBS, on Tuesday called the 2024 elections a “make-or-break moment for democracy” in the “flawed democracy” known as the United States, because of the risks of a victory by former president Donald Trump. The Economist deputy editor Tom Standage talked to Amanpour reporter Hari Sreenivasan, who set up Standage to…

In response to Donald Trump’s 2016 victory, CNN International’s Christiane Amanpour, whose show is simulcast in the United States on PBS, wrote, “Now, more than ever, we need to commit to real reporting across a real nation, a real world in which journalism and democracy are in mortal peril, including by foreign powers like Russia paying to churn out and place false news, and hacking into…

Trump (Second-Term) Derangement Syndrome was on display in a very special issue of The Atlantic monthly magazine, dated January/February 2024 (see “The Atlantic Melts Down at a Second Trump Term ”) and the PBS-aired interview show Amanpour & Co. was on it, with an interview with Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg. The Atlantic has tilted to the…

Five years ago this week, former President George H. W. Bush passed away at the age of 94. The media’s 2018 retrospectives of Bush and his presidency are an example of how liberal journalists can be like prehistoric bugs stuck in amber, frozen in biased poses struck decades earlier, regardless of how thoroughly they’ve been debunked.

On the PBS edition of Amanpour & Co. this week, host Christiane Amanpour wept over “Israel’s siege on Gaza,” which meant (according to this written introduction) that “basic necessities like food, water, medicine and fuel are close to running out completely.” Amanpour talked to UN Relief Chief Martin Griffiths, who gullibly found Hamas’s fatality numbers reliable and ridiculously…

One definition of genocide given by the United Nations is “a proven intent on the part of perpetrators to physically destroy a national, ethnical, racial or religious group.” Hamas wants to wipe Israel’s Jews off the map and have Islamic control “from the river to the sea,” a slogan both sides have previously recognized as a genocidal statement. But is Hamas ever accused of genocide in the…

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak is an interesting guy. He is a former IDF chief of staff who, as PM, was prepared to hand Yasser Arafat 97 percent of the West Bank in 2000 only to get the Second Intifada and for his Labor Party to never to hold power again. On Monday’s PBS Amanpour and Company, he fought with the eponymous host on the supposed lack of evidence the IDF has…
