1. Amanpour is competent-- thus an automatic conflict with CNN employers |

It's about her marriage to Jamie Rubin, who works for the Kerry campaign. Also says that CNN has a "liberal" label. Really? News to me. This is so bogus I have trouble even discussing it. Says the Maria Shriver/Arnold marriage is the same thing. Not EVEN. Bill is such a dumbass.

3. Amanpour was born in Iran.... |
|
studied in the US. Her best friend was John Kennedy jr. She's married to Jamie Rubin, (Jewish) worked under the Clinton Administration and they have a small son. Their main home is in London. Christiane has above and beyond credentials, education and awards as a world journalist.
Last year, CNN took her off the air because she refused to report lies about the war just to please the bush bandits.
I Love Christiane Amanpour.

Her biography wasn't the topic, only why O'Lielly was saying that CNN may "have a problem" with her because of her marriage. I already knew her bio, thank you. Amanpour often takes breaks from covering high-risk stories due to her son. I don't think they "sat her down" per say.

6. No. O'Lielly's problem with her is about her bography |
|
It was on his show last night. About her marriage to a Kerry advisor, etc. Of course CNN (or CBS, for whom she also works) doesn't have a problem with her--she's their best reporter and they know it. He wants to smear her because she had the nerve to go after Wolfotitz last week when he insulted reporters in Baghdad.

7. O'Reilly is a lost cause |
|
Why is O'Reilly so intent on creating false assertions when he is such a complete idiot. He and Hannity annoy me with their indignation when in fact they are the most hate filled people I see on TV. Along with Coulter, Savage, Limbaugh and Ingraham I wonder why or how the Republican party can entertain these people as mouthpieces for their political ambitions. The vile tripe I read about being spewed by these people is appalling. They and they alone have brought American politics to the basement.
