Crazy Christiane Amanpour
NRO ^ | 8 July 2016 | Andrew Badinelli

Posted on 07/09/2016 10:22:02 AM PDT by Rummyfan

She’s a walking parody of an unhinged leftist ‘reporter.’

...

But even among leftist hacks, Amanpour is a special case: It’s almost as if she’s trying to mock herself — a Trump-is-a-Clinton-plant conspiracy theory, if you will, but in the mainstream media. She referred to devout Christianity as “totalitarian” in her August 23, 2007, CNN profile “Christian Warriors.” But in 2008, she fawned over the “progress” achieved by Fidel Castro, and in 2013 she wished Zimbawean dictator Robert Mugabe a happy birthday. If a higher-profile (read: important) person had such a rich historical cache of commentary, they would have already been driven out of town by the gleeful jabs of late-night hosts across every network. (remember our good friend Brian Williams?) But not Amanpour: Her irrelevance is her cover, allowing her to skate under the radar and tape xenophobe signs to the back of each and every Brexiteer she can ambush with a camera.

I know I saw a video of her after the Bush/Gore mess. She was addressing a group of people and said something like
“Bush won instead of Gore, how did we let that happen?”

I have been searching for it for a long time, anybody know about it or have seen it?

The elitist globalists certainly are touchy when challenged. Thank God the media is losing more and more credibility every day.

The Left is Progressive in the same way a disease is Progressive; it slowly but inexorably leads to death.

The one time I remember Amanpour was when the Israelis stormed Arafat's compound, and knocked down all the structures around Arafat's office building.

She had him on the phone, and he was screaming at her, and she was flinching from the torrent of abuse spewing from Arafat while he was continually soiling himself as the Israeli tanks worked.

I almost felt sorry for her.

My gosh, stupid is not fixable.

During her coverage of the Brexit referendum results, she was visibly furious at the outcome and shouting down everyone she interviewed.

Yep...a true idiot without any of the endearing qualities of the “Village Idiot” genre.

I saw a meeting where she lamented that Bush was doing too well, and that they needed to do something about it. Can’t recall where it was though - it was to a room full of media types.

An earlier posting today concerned a new Pat Condell YouTube comment on BREXIT - I think she was mentioned in that in the sense you point out.
