Christiane Amanpour

People seem to assume that because PBS is dry and somewhat boring, that must also mean it’s also more serious than other news channels. But the truth is, the commentary on shows like NewsHour is as far in crazy left-wing territory as most prime time MSNBC shows, and it’s been this way since at least the 1990s.

Christiane Amanpour is an international affairs correspondent, but for Friday’s PBS edition of Amanpour, she interviewed playwright Joe Murphy and actor Stephen Kunken at the Soho Place theatre in London, where the climate change message play Kyoto, cowritten by Murphy and starring Kunken, is being performed. Amanpour, who surely considers herself an intellectual, sounded like any…

Irony died multiple deaths on Thursday’s edition of Amanpour and Company on PBS. First, host Christiane Amanpour and Columbia Journalism School Dean Jelani Cobb lamented that social media companies are moving away from fact-checking, which, they said, will make it harder to hold the government accountable, despite their own historical difficulties with the truth. Second, they worried…

On The Amanpour Hour, CNN host Christiane Amanpour gave a sympathetic forum to left-wing film maker Errol Morris and MSNBC reporter Jacob Soboroff to promote their documentary attacking the GOP's opposition to illegal immigration, with Morris even declaring that then-President Donald Trump's family separation policy from 2018 was "unmistakably racist."

As Monty Python might say, “And now for something completely different.” On Monday’s edition of her PBS show that originally airs on CNN International, Christiane Amanpour welcomed Babygirl director Halina Reijn to discuss the film and its place in society. As Reijn tried to claim that discussions of the difference between male and female orgasms and post-menopausal sexuality are the…

Since the 1980s, the Media Research Center has chronicled lefty journalists’ contempt for capitalism and free markets. Here are the top 20 quotes from our archives demonstrating the radical perspective that’s become all-too-commonplace within the liberal media.

It is not just the hosts that make the late night comedy shows another part of the liberal media. It is also their guests. Throughout 2024, the late night shows’ guests slanted heavily left and provided plenty of outrageous moments, but, first a more humorous honorable mention.

On Friday’s PBS airing of Amanpour & Co., host Christiane Amanpour introduced “the Nobel prize winning economist, Paul Krugman, who's written his last column for The New York Times, after 25 years of sharp and often indispensable takes on major issues that shape America and the world.” But NewsBusters has compiled decades of research proving Krugman’s knee-jerk…

Amanpour & Co. host Christiane Amanpour talked to former Washington Post executive editor Martin Baron about Trump’s “massive chilling effect” on the press on Wednesday, and added another metaphor to describe the media supposedly bowing down to Trump’s threats (since when!): Amanpour: "...we're seeing quite a lot of media and like the tech streaming titans and all the…

On Friday, Christiane Amanpour’s show on PBS touted a new exhibition by Vogue magazine on the history of the runway show in London, “taking visitors for a catwalk down memory lane.” Then they replayed a 2019 interview with Vogue editor Anna Wintour gushing over wonderful Democrats like Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama on the cover. This felt like another diss at Melania…

Before her show airs on PBS, Christiane Amanpour’s daily musings air on CNN International, and on Monday that included an interview with producer Joni Levin and writer and director Keith Clarke of the new documentary Call Me Ted about CNN founder Ted Turner. During their discussion, Amanpour, who is usually very keen to label Republicans Putin apologists, hyped Turner’s record of “…

The PBS News Hour’s most partisan reporter, Laura Barron-Lopez, displayed her Democratic favoritism during her long Election Night coverage from Kamala Harris’s election night headquarters. But her pro-Harris hype started before Election Day, with happy talk about Harris’s prospects in most of the swing states, none of which panned out for her campaign. The day before on the PBS…
