It’s amazing how genuinely angry liberal journalists are about the Trump town hall event on CNN.
It’s been almost two weeks and Christiane Amanpour is still complaining about it.
She is even suing the management of her own network about it.

CNN’s Christiane Amanpour Joins The Chorus In Whining About Trump Town Hall, Blasting The Boss
The source of “journalists” outrage continues to erupt over CNN’s audacity to broadcast a town hall featuring the man most of them consider their nemesis, former President Donald J. Trump. RedState’s sister Toldjah told you about the meltdown by media reporter Oliver Darcy, “formerly the poodle sidekick of ex-CNN media hall monitor Brian Stelter,” I brought you Jake Tapper’s on-air conniption when he nearly cried at the end of the event, and Nick Arama wrote about perhaps the most pathetic sight of them all, anchor Anderson Cooper looking like a miserable dog in the rain as he told viewers that they “have every right to be outraged and angry today and never come back to this network to watch.”…
Not to be outdone, 40-year-old CNN veteran Christiane Amanpour and her ever-so-accurate diction took the stage at the Columbia School of Journalism to deliver a sizzling opening speech Wednesday in which Donald Trump, the decision to hold City Hall, his terrible views, and yes, again, boss Chris Licht. She called the broadcast an “earthquake” and made the stunning, dangerous claim that reporters should be “truthful, but not neutral.”
Here’s part of what she said:
“My management believes they have done the right thing, doing a service to the American people. Some reports have written about important new thoughts and things we learned from Trump’s own mouth that night…Time may well prove that Trump’s electroshock therapy to the world is bringing the indecisive to greater awareness,” Amanpour said.
“For me, of course, the fact that the American people have voted against Trump and Trumpism three times – 2018, 2020, 2022 – also speaks volumes. We have done our duty. We’ve told the story.

Amanpour is a perfect example of what’s worst about our media.
She is first and foremost an activist, who believes that the media should shape public opinion on all political matters.
