"In one clip, CNN correspondent Christiane Amanpour says during an interview that CNN was intimidated by the administration "and its foot soldiers at Fox News."

Was it CNN or CBS that admitted to altering their coverage of Iraq during Saddam's reign in order to maintain access?

At any rate, Amanpour's comment is an absolute crock. First of all, no network feels obligated to follow Fox's lead in covering the Bush admin, and no netwrok was "intimidated" by Fox. As a matter of fact, all the networks, including Fox, thoroughly aired anti-war opinions in the months prior to the war. It was probably the most thoroughly debated pre-invasion war in modern American history.
