Ah, the big three. The usual suspects. "Holy Land", indeed.

Definitely not my cup of tea

Personally speaking....I'm fed up of hearing about it...no wonder there's always incidents being recited on just about every news channel each evening

Christiane Amanpour is a really good reporter. Not afraid to tell it as she see's it. She must travel with a platoon of bodyguards.

Trouble is Iceman the media is well you know, slanted view point.

Amanpour is a dhimwit.

Maybe I'll have time later to find the reviews of previous Amanpour failures to correctly judge and understand what's happening under her nose.

Please do because I don't see a whole lot wrong with that link above unless you are really looking to target her and read what you wanted into what she reports instead of taking it at face value.

Then let me quote the relevant words for you:

Quote:

"Well, uh, Ms. Amanpour, one might note the absence of AK-47s, the lack of opposition to the education of girls, the absence of burqas, the absence of divine sanction for wife-beating, and sundry other things. Unless you're too blinded by political correctness to notice, as is evidently the case."

More on Amanpour's dhimwittedness: The point of CNN's religious fundamentalism series.

Iceman · 08-21-07, 04:03 PM

I have no doubt about each persons own porsonal views but it is the kind of quotes like this...."She explored the ancient roots of the conflict between Shiites and Sunnis, and talked with one of the country's most accomplished female politicians about how Muslim women are treated"...that I am interested in seeing.I will judge for myself, as we all always do, as to what is fact and what is biased.

A picture is worth a thousand words...we'll see.

That second link is hardcore...they really bash this reporter...seems pretty closed minded.

we'll see... proof is in the pudding a?

umm food

If it accurately portrays the reporter, it is she who is close-minded.

I think you will find Amanpour to be the moral equivalence reporter she has long been. Did you ever see her report "In the Footsteps of Bin Laden"? She is so predictable.

In reference to that groups thing of it's women wearing long skirts etc. I guess something could be made of it if you are looking hard to fault her.

It's a snipe article. It doesn't actually say anything. It doesn't even say what the hit is based on. So she doesn't have a masters in Middle Eastern History is all I got from that.
Funny thing about it is that the series hasn't even aired yet and she's being chopped for it. Kind of looses any credibility it might have had whatever it was supposed to be.

One does not have to look hard. It was elementary.

The first half or so is based upon both the CNN trailers available at CNN and Amanpour's past watered down exclusives on subjects touching Islam, Arabs, Israel and the Middle East.

The first part was already broadcast yesterday. Watch every word of this "snipe", as you call it, turn out to be true. Amanpour is simply so predictable.

Iceman · 08-24-07, 02:39 AM

Welp...

Watched all three...kinda disappointed.I was hoping to get more historical and or clinical views maybe but was more just recapping news events and mainstream stuff from all three.About all I can say really...I have learned more really talking and reading stuff from the peoples here at subsim really about the different beliefs of the world than what I saw in the six hours of that...hum.

Good evening and good night.
