3. Glad to see C.A. reporting on CNN - the MSM has cut her off for far too long.

She is heads and shoulders above any reporter or talking head out there today.

From an interview in The Guardian in December...

Interview: Christiane Amanpour

'Somehow I don't feel it in my gut'

CNN's top reporter has spent nearly 20 years telling stories from all over the world but now, as she prepares for a new show, she has the biggest global story on her doorstep.

Starting in mid-2009, she will have a nightly half-hour slot on CNN International. A one-hour version will be shown on weekends on the US version of CNN. The programme does not yet have an official start date, title, or even a format, although Amanpour says she will still travel for the show. "I am not going to sit back and not be a reporter."

That will be reassuring for many Americans who see Amanpour as their personal jolt of reality, a face synonymous with the reporting of serious events: war, disaster, famine, Aids. In her new documentary, Scream Bloody Murder, she excoriates world powers for failing to intervene to stop genocide, from the Nazi Holocaust, via Pol Pot's Cambodia to Bosnia, Rwanda and Darfur. The story is told through those who tried and failed to get the world to act: a Polish-Jewish scholar, a French priest, American officials, and a Canadian general.
