The Christiane Amanpour as "This Week" host experiment so far is a huge failure for ABC as ratings have plummeted since she took over the Sunday political talk show.
Last Sunday's program attracted 29 percent less viewers than the same day last year.
Making matters worse for ABC executives is the fact that Amanpour's numbers are far worse than interim host Jake Tapper's who did most of the anchoring after George Stephanopoulos left for "Good Morning America."
As Steve Krakauer reported Monday, the decision to bring Amanpour over from CNN is so far not looking like a good one:

She’s nothing but an Islamist bomb thrower. The bombs are words and poisoned, slanted narrative, but are bombs nonetheless. She is a global terrorist.
She has average looks, but her brain is still Liberal Mush.
It's sounds like ‘Af-gone-istan’ when she says it. Maybe this is just the way she was raised but it certainly sounds elite, something we dont need more of with Obama in the WH.
More annoying is David Gregory NBC asking Republicans over and over how they will ‘pay’ to keep taxes on the rich from going up. It is annoying simply because he never asks the bankrupting Democrat party anything like that.
...she practically oozes with foreign, anti-American snobbery - a really bad choice considering the current political winds.
The only reason why they picked Amanpour is because she’s an America-hating leftist.
She’s awful. I’ve done like another mentioned on this thread—just watch the roundtable discussions of the Sunday morning news programs. The feeling I got from the start was ABC was foisting a “citizen of the world” host on us, to go along with our “citizen of the world” prez.
Aw come on, Abb
We all know this is nothing more than a temporary setback
Snarky here can bring the All Barack Channel back from the grave
Really ...
Laura Ingraham is doing a great imitation of her right now. She is ripping her, pretty funny.
Who wants to bet she wins a "prize" - some liberal suck up sham that makes them think the respect and loyalty of their viewer doesn't matter. Fools.

Amanpour’s story agenda.
The USA is bad
why the USA is bad
why the rest of the the world is RIGHT to think the usa is bad
etc. etc.
Ah, yes, the same Clintonista Jamie Rubin who was Madeleine Albright's chief apologist as her assistant Secretary of State in DC.
Amanpour, also affectionately known as "The Desert War Slut" has been described this way......
"She flies into places more dangerous than WW2."
Oh, yes.
"She flaunts her well-worn flak jacket like Gunga Din. She struts into rooms with the same cocksure certitude that her mere presence elevates a routine interview into a world event.
"This is how journalists become icons to the modern eye. They play one on TV.
"And nobody covering the war in Afghanistan played the part as well as Amanpour."
And, I may add, I think she fancies herself a female Edward R. Murrow, calm, cool and collected....and nicely coiffed under the Muslim headpiece.......in the midst of war, carnage and chaos.

bad choice of words in this case.
(arguments to remove casting couch)
“Not surprising as Amanpours condescending, self-righteous and patronizing manner has always been difficult to take, and now she isnt even pretty anymore.”
By George I think you’ve nailed it! Typical holier thank thou Liberal!
Yeah, what happened to her looks? She sure went downhill fast.
She’s catching up with Thomas in the wrinkle department that’s for sure.

What were her ratings on Al Jazeera?
Hello, network execs, the American people are up to here with muzzie apologists. Get a clue.
Great news! Thanks for the post; ping; ROFLOL (#7)!
