<\/p>\nGood day all. Now that the Skydance\/Warner Brothers deal has finally closed, much to the anguish of the Hollywierd moonbats such as Mark Ruffalo, things appear to have started changing at CNN.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t watch CNN, although I do occasionally use their web site as a source for information. (Can\u2019t hang out only on the Alternative News sites) I have been reading and watching how the On Air personalities have been reacting to the news that their days of being shills for the Democrat party are coming to an end. At best, you can see blind panic with classic deer in the headlights look on their faces. At worst? People are starting to leave. One such person is Christiane Amanpour. She has announced she is retiring. Here are the details from Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n Veteran CNN International anchor Christiane Amanpour announced Monday she’s leaving the network next summer after more than four decades at the network.<\/b><\/p>\n “After more than 43 years at CNN, Christiane has decided that the time is right to begin a new chapter,” CNN CEO Mark Thompson told staffers in a memo. “Early in 2027, she will scale back her CNN International show, \u2018Amanpour,\u2019 to once a week. The program will conclude in May, and she will leave CNN at the end of June.”<\/b><\/p>\n “Christiane has thought carefully about this decision, and she and I have been discussing it for some months. Like so many CNNers who will hear the news today, I\u2019m very sorry to see her go, but I\u2019ve come to accept that this is the right time for her, both personally and professionally,” Thompson wrote.<\/b><\/p>\n 43 years is a long time, almost back to the beginning of CNN. However, I suspect that there may be a bit more to it then just closing out a long career.<\/p>\n While the 68-year-old journalist is revered among her CNN colleagues and members of the liberal media, she has her critics as well. As she referenced in her statement, Amanpour rejects the notion of neutrality when it comes to reporting, insisting the truth should remain the north star.<\/b><\/p>\n “Both-siderism \u2014 on the one hand, on the other hand \u2014 is not always objectivity. It does not get you to the truth,” Amanpour told graduates at the Columbia Journalism School in 2023. “Drawing false, moral or factual equivalence is neither objective or truthful. Objectivity is our golden rule. And it is in weighing all the sides and all the evidence hearing everyone reporting everything, but not rushing to equate them when there is no equating and look at the damage that that has done in the climate debate, in the political arena and in the field of battle.”<\/b><\/p>\n If I ever watched Amanpour, I don\u2019t recall. It\u2019s been at least 20 years since I last watched CNN, probably during the coverage of Afghanistan and Iraq. I do remember that Amanpour was notorious for mixing her political outlook into her reporting. She\u2019s basically a Leftist and pushed a progressive, generally anti-American agenda. Her concept of \u201cThe Truth,\u201d seems to have been whatever she decided it was. Her comment that you can\u2019t remain neutral and get the truth is garbage.<\/p>\n Her coverage of the Israel-Hamas war and her past commentary have also raised eyebrows. Amanpour claimed in October 2023, just weeks after the terrorist attack on Israel, “the rest of the world” agreed<\/a> with Jordanian Queen Rania Al Abdullah’s complaint that the Western world shows more support for Israel than the Palestinians.<\/b><\/p>\n She also reported that third-party negotiators were trying to implement a “hostage release on both sides,” implying Israel, too, is keeping civilian hostages and not just the Hamas terrorists.\u00a0Earlier in the year, she was forced to apologize<\/a> after she claimed the murder of an Israeli rabbi’s family was the result of a “shootout.”\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n It isn\u2019t just her apparent pro-terrorist reporting, or more accurately, editorializing, she also hates President Trump. Of course, that was, up until recently, almost a job requirement to work at CNN.<\/p>\n In November 2020, she was condemned by the Israeli government and the Anti-Defamation League for comparing the Trump presidency to Kristallnacht, known as the “Night of Broken Glass” when Nazis terrorized Jews throughout Germany and Austria, resulting in at least 91 deaths and 7,500 Jewish businesses vandalized during the Holocaust. Amanpour walked back her comments<\/a> following the intense backlash.<\/b><\/p>\n Amanpour is the first big name to announce her \u201cRetirement\u201d from CNN. I don\u2019t recall her making any public comments on the Skydance takeover, and a quick check of Grok indicates she hasn\u2019t made very many. The very few that I\u2019ve found seem to indicate she really wasn\u2019t happy. Grok pointed me to a story in the Guardian<\/a> where she referred to the Skydance takeover of Paramount and what is going on with CBS.<\/p>\n \u201cI mean, do I have to list what\u2019s happening there? I mean, hemorrhaging viewers, probably hemorrhaging money. This ideological realignment of CBS and the destruction, potentially of 60 Minutes \u2026 I mean, nobody can match 60 Minutes for a brilliant television magazine show that\u2019s been doing hard news and cultural news for decades \u2013 top-rated, top money-maker for the network. So clearly, obviously, I\u2019m concerned. I would like to think that we would have the very basic, which is editorial independence. I\u2019m hoping for that. I know many of us at CNN<\/a> are incredibly \u2013 including leadership \u2013 are very, very committed to that, clearly. And I don\u2019t think I need to say more than that.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n There have been changes at CBS News since Bari Weiss was put in charge of the news division. As for 60 Minutes, Amanpour may think they are brilliant. The problem is they aren\u2019t. Their credibility is virtually nonexistent. However, there have been some changes along with changes at CBS News and from what I\u2019ve read, their ratings are actually going up. It\u2019s going to take years to repair the News divisions credibility, but it does appear they are moving in the right direction, for a change.<\/p>\n While I doubt that Amanpour was pushed out, I don\u2019t think she would like working under the Ellison\u2019s and the team they will bring in. Without question, they would have clamped down on her editorializing in her reporting. We already seeing this happen at CBS with several people being fired or not having their contracts renewed. I think that Amanpour saw the writing on the wall and decided to leave on her own. I really don\u2019t think she\u2019s going to be missed.<\/p>\n Thatisall<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/6b\/0d\/dd\/6b0dddb274a5b4997aa642ad950cde6f.jpg\")
