Christiane Amanpour: U.S. Will Beat ISIS Before Brian Williams Returns to NBC

By Jeffrey Meyer, Jun. 2, 2015, Newsbusters

During an appearance on Comedy Central’s The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore on Monday, CNN’s Christiane Amanpour joked “we defeat ISIS” when asked: “What happens first: we defeat ISIS or Brian Williams anchoring again?”

In response to a question of Wilmore, the longtime CNN reporter blasted the Obama administrations’s ISIS strategy and argued that “I don’t think there is enough committed to the fight against ISIS. ISIS has to be beaten. ISIS can be beaten. We can beat them without putting American boots on the ground.”

Amanpour went one step further and explained how “as one counter-terrorism official said today, America is doing it half-assed and America can’t win half assed.” Given how poorly the U.S. strategy against ISIS is going, one shouldn't expect Brian Williams to return to the anchor's desk anytime in the near future.

CNN/FOX: Hillary Ratings Soft --Greta/Bret waaaayyy too easy. Nada on Broaddrick or "nuts & sluts"! No Olson or Hitchens quote!

Greta Van Susteren & Hillary Rodham Clinton
By Matt Weinstein, Jun. 18, 2014, Mediaite.com

Hillary Clinton sat down for two heavily-promoted interviews on cable news Tuesday evening, but they did not deliver the blockbuster ratings CNN and Fox News were likely expecting — or at least hoping for.

Clinton’s town hall-style event with Christiane Amanpour was a distant second place at 5 p.m. and dropped to third when it re-aired in primetime at 9 p.m. And while her joint interview with Fox’s Bret Baier and Greta Van Susteren did keep Fox News in first place at 6 and 7 p.m., the numbers paled in comparison to the rest of Fox’s evening lineup.

Beginning with CNN, the 5 p.m. hour averaged 115K viewers in the 25-54 demo and 521K total viewers. That put it barely ahead of MSNBC’s The Ed Show, which had 105K in the demo and 506K total viewers. Meanwhile, Fox’s The Five led the time slot with 336K in the demo and 1.876M total viewers.

When CNN re-aired the interview at 9 p.m. its number increased slightly to 146K in the demo and593K in the demo. While those were the best ratings CNN had all night, it still put them in third place for the hour behind Fox’s The Kelly File (377K in the demo, 2.126M total) and MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show (168K in the demo, 918K total).

Relatively speaking, things did not look all that much better for Fox. That network split its Clinton interview between the last 15 minutes of Special Report with Bret Baier at 6 p.m. and the first 15 minutes of On the Record with Greta Van Susteren at 7 p.m. The first hour averaged 271K in the demo and 1.779M total viewers, which represented a nearly 20% drop in the demo compared to The Five an hour earlier.

FLASHBACK: "Christiane Amanpour's 2007 Documentary, 'God's Warriors', called 'Hard on Jews, Soft on Islam'"

March 27, 2014 “God’s Warriors” , Christiane Amanpour 0 Comments
By Maurice Ostoff, Aug. 26, 2007, Honest Reporting
At the conclusion of the widely advertised CNN TV series “God’s Warriors”, dealing with the intersection between religion and politics Christiane Amanpour said she tried to explain the phenomenon of millions of people who know how to make the world right but feel ignored.
While she certainly deserves an A+ for her professionally conducted interviews in seven countries over eight months, the documentary barely earns a C- for its explanations. The six-hour program leaves serious viewers more confused than before.

Each of the three two-hour programs suffers from excess length, due mainly to irrelevancies. Former President Carter for example, enjoys the privilege of freely advertising his book in two of the series, but contributes nothing to the main subject.

"Russian Ambassador Accuses CNN's Amanpour Of Family Conflict of Interest" --Takes a foreigner to point it out.

March 24, 2014 Christiane Amanpour , CNN 0 Comments
By Tim Graham, Mar. 22, 2014, Newsbusters
The Russians are firing back at CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour for some Thursday remarks on her CNN International show about Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations. Amanpour mocked his daughter for working as a journalist for Russia Today in New York, and covering her father.

 Churkin sent a letter to Amanpour pointing out that if that’s a familial conflict, then what about her “courtship” and marriage to former State Department spokesman Jamie Rubin? They were married in 1998 right in the middle of his Clinton administration service, where he was touted as Madeleine Albright's right-hand man.
Amanpour reported:
And one more note: we continue to reach out to the Russian government for their comment, including officials such as U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin. We haven't had much luck, but perhaps people like Churkin feel they don't really have to leave their comfort zone. Churkin's own daughter is the U.S.-based reporter for "Russia Today" in New York. She's shown here, quizzing U.S. State Department spokesman Jen Psaki over this whole Ukraine crisis. And in the past, she's even reported on her own father.
Churkin replied:
Dear Ms. Amanpour,
I am taken aback by the personal attacks you resorted to in your show on March 20. I have known you for many years (including through a number of on-the-air interviews) and used to respect you professionally. So it was somewhat startling that my inability to give another interview provoked such an outburst.
