Guess What Ollie North Said About Christiane Amanpour
http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/fnc/guess_what_ollie_said_about_christiane_31703.asp#more

"It strikes me, Bill, that the purpose of going out there...is to cover the war, document what's going on, perhaps, if you will, prepare the first draft of history...

When one makes the kind of observation she did last night, it crosses the boundaries from being a journalist to a commentator.

That the war has been a disaster is her opinion, and quite frankly the facts on the ground don't support it."

North also said Amanpour has demonstrated her bias consistently since the war began, and remarked:

"This is not a network that has an Ernie Pyle working for it."

3. Everyone on Faux is a commentator-that's why he knows what
it is. And why shouldn't she comment? She was asked to give a comment. not a report.

4. Even my freeper dad said Ollie North was a narcissitic opportunist.
"The facts on the ground don't support" the war as being as being a disaster????

Keep away from the glue fumes, Ollie!

5. And what would Ollie be...

7. Dude
this guy is a murderer, a goddamn criminal. I can't believe how much this fucker has capitalized on his crimes. I can't fucking believe he ran for the Senate in VA and almost won! I can believe, however, that he got a show on Fox News

9. WTF?
"It strikes me, Bill, that the purpose of going out there...is to cover the war, document what's going on ..."

SHE DID. AND SHE DOCUMENTED THE FACT THAT IT'S A DISASTER.

"When one makes the kind of observation she did last night, it crosses the boundaries from being a journalist to a commentator."

BUT APPARENTLY SHE DIDN'T MAKE THE 'RIGHT' OBSERVATIONS, OR DOCUMENT THINGS THE 'RIGHT' WAY.

Okay, NOW I get it, Ollie.

10. Ollie is obviously a delusional twit.........
how can reporters cover the war when they can't even leave the green zone. The country is not safe for them to go out without military escorts. That says it all.

If anything, Christiane is understating.

19. Hmm...

When one makes the kind of observation she did last night, it crosses the boundaries from being a journalist to a commentator.

That hurricane Katrina has been a disaster is her opinion, and quite frankly the facts on the ground don't support it."

20. She was asked her opinion
She was asked her opinion on an opinion program and she gave it.

I heard Hannity say much the same thing: "She's a reporter. She's not allowed an opinion".

Ollie North and Sean Hannity - what malodorous steaming turds.
