CNN fires terrorist supporter.

[Cicero]

Given how reliably unreliabile you are when it comes to facts, I'm not sure why I bothered googling to see if there was any truth to this. (I unsurprisingly drew a blank.)

Drawing a blank is your artistic specialty. Amanpour's bias towards the PLO is legendary and you would have to be a complete dolt not to have even accidently stumbled on examples of her bias and criticism of her bias. Considering your computer savy, I'm surprised you were able to find your way back to the JREF forum.

ANDERSON COOPER 360 DEGREES

Power Struggle to Replace Arafat; Fierce Fighting in Falluja

Aired November 11, 2004 - 19:00 ET

CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR, CNN CHIEF INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, Anderson, no matter what people think of Yasser Arafat, he was a world leader for about 40 years. And world leaders have, in fact, turned out to make his final hours, his last resting place, one of dignity and respect for the Palestinian cause.

And analysts have said this is not just a show of support for Yasser Arafat, but a very public show of support for the Palestinian cause.

COOPER (voice-over): There were no trappings, no visible perks, no pretensions. To the contrary, Yasser Arafat lived in a ruined compound on the West Bank, dressed humbly, to say the least. He was by all appearances as impoverished as his stateless Palestinian people.

CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR's "GOD'S WARRIORS"

"Amanpour does not hesitate to inject her own views, demonstrating occasional lack of knowledge. For example when an Israeli settler said God says Jews must live in Hebron, Amanpour interjected that the West Bank was designated by the UN to be the largest part of an Arab state. Not only is this statement factually incorrect, it is out of context. Amanpour is evidently unaware that all Arab states rejected UN partition resolution 181, to which she evidently referred and that the West Bank was included in the area designated for encouragement of Jewish settlement by the Balfour Declaration and even endorsed in article 6 of the British mandate."

CNN's "God's Warriors": Hard on Jews, Soft on Islam

http://www.honestreporting.com/arti...Gods_Warriors_Hard_on_Jews,_Soft_on_Islam.asp

"CNN's Christiane Amanpour is the creator of a three-part CNN television series entitled "G-d's Warriors." The segment on Jews is the "most poisonously biased and factually shoddy feature to air on mainstream American television in recent memory," writes CAMERA's Executive Director Andrea Levin "

Seriously, if Erick son of Erick can call David Souter a "goat *********** child molester" and still get (and keep) a job on the network, this whole notion of "compromised credibility" is just more TeaHC smoking.

I've yet to see those supporting the firing address this point. If her opinion was a fire-able offense, then surely you started or supported a thread advocating the firing of Erickson. Right? Huh? Right?

I love how these leftists are now crying about the "Israel Lobby." They make it sound like we'd go so far as to criticize an over-rated cook-show celeb for wearing a scarf in an Internet donut ad.

Or.."I greatly Admire Al Capone because he set up some Soup Kitchens in the Great Depression".

or "i greatly admire Mao Tse Tung for industrialising China"

 

[MarkCorrigan]

or "i greatly admire Mao Tse Tung for industrialising China"

Which he did, and it pulled the nation into the 20th century. It was brutal, it was vicious and he was a nasty petty little man, but he actually did bring China up to an extent that it was able to compete on at least some level with other nations.

Similarly Uncle Joe did the exact same thing in Russia. He genuinely did press the Russian industrial machine so hard that it revolutionised the economy of Russia, and had they had a decent agricultural policy rather than sticking their collective heads up their asses for decades over Lysenko, the USSR might well have remained a superpower for far longer than it did.

I still think these two were vicious, nasty twisted men who did great evils and spread hatred and fear, killing millions of their own people to assert their rule or because they were paranoid. I'm not a Maoist, or a Stalinist, but it genuinely cannot be denied that they did great things to the respective economies of their nations.

I find it amazing that people still watch CNN.

As for the Hezbollah guy, I'm glad he's dead. If there were a button to kill every Hezbollah and Hamas, I would push many times. Just to be sure. Kill them all.

He was for womens rights??? When did he say that? Only heresy evidence has been offed. Maybe he's for womens rights like that guy in Iran. Now they are only going to bury women up to their waist instead of their neck, before they stoned them to death. What a leap forward for women.

And yet you post evidence that's so flimsy that it's laughable. Typical.

Does that make me a supporter of black nationalist Muslim ideology?

Ali doesn't belong to Farrakhan's Nation of Islam sect (he left NoI in the early 70s), which is the only black nationalist Muslim sect I'm aware of in the US. He's a Suffist Muslim now, who are not black nationalists.

As for the Republican guy, I'm glad he's dead. If there were a button to kill every GOPer and Teabagger, I would push many times. Just to be sure. Kill them all.

He was for womens rights??? When did he say that? Only heresy evidence has been offed. Maybe he's for womens rights like that guy in Kentucky. Now they are only going to force child rape victims to have their rapist's babies. What a leap forward for women.

Hmm, fixed it but it still sounds sociopathic. I think there's just no nice way to advocate genocide.

Fred Hiatt praises murderous dictator, keeps job.

It's hard not to notice, however, that the evil dictator leaves behind the most successful country in Latin America. In the past 15 years, Chile's economy has grown at twice the regional average, and its poverty rate has been halved. It's leaving behind the developing world, where all of its neighbors remain mired. It also has a vibrant democracy. Earlier this year it elected another socialist president, Michelle Bachelet, who suffered persecution during the Pinochet years.

Like it or not, Mr. Pinochet had something to do with this success. To the dismay of every economic minister in Latin America, he introduced the free-market policies that produced the Chilean economic miracle -- and that not even Allende's socialist successors have dared reverse. He also accepted a transition to democracy, stepping down peacefully in 1990 after losing a referendum.

Well, he didn't really praise him, he just noted one good thing he did. Same thing, amirite?

Very mature, and irrelevant. Apparently I've pushed your button.

Sorry, I guess I hear "kill every last one of them" and *SNAP* I immediately think "genocide". Must be my faulty moral compass. I'll get that checked out right away so my buttons won't be so easily pushed by the advocacy of mass murder.
