CNN International anchor Christiane Amanpour spoke with Iranian vice president for women and global affairs Massoumeh Ebtekar on Tuesday but failed to mention Ebtekar played a key role in the 1979 Iran hostage crisis.
Amanpour began by asking Ebtekar if Iran would respond to American calls for de-escalation, and critics didn't appreciate her lengthy answer.
Ebtekar took that question and offered a long-winded answer that gushed over CNN showing millions who are marching in support and in commemoration of...the Commander of the Hearts against the Americans having taken a terrorist action in assassinat[ing] Soleimani, NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck wrote.
Houck also noted that Amanpour failed to note to viewers that [Ebtekar] was a spokeswoman for the 1979 hostage-takers during the Iranian revolution that seized 52 Americans.

Journalistic malpracticeIt's more of Christiane Amanpour's aid and comfort to the enemy. The Constitution has a word for that.
To: Libloather
Houck also noted that Amanpour failed to note to viewers that [Ebtekar] was a spokeswoman for the 1979 hostage-takers during the Iranian revolution that seized 52 Americans.So what?
She's the Iranian vice president for women and global affairs. Did anyone think she wasn't going to be a total shill for the government?
Newsbusters must be running out of material.
