seen who has interviewed Israeli pundits the way they should be interviewed.

He's calling the guy on all his bullshit.

12. yeah, he is good, the international reporters are much better overall
than the regular American ones. the on the scene reporters seem to be made up mostly of foreign reporters also.

4. I wish I could find his name
He used to do the finance report for Sky News, Faux's sister station in the UK. CNNi obviously recognized a good thing and snatched him up.

Bad news breaking, the Lebanese are breaking into the UN building in Beirut...Why the UN, the US and Israel are the ones making things impossible throughout this whole affair so far!

10. He is back on 6:11am
Richard Quest was very good too. I like the way they are able to ask the questions that the American press would never have the balls to ask.

11. Straight up! I love this. I'm in a hotel. We don't have CNNI so this
is a treat that it is on overnight for breaking news.
