Christiane Amanpour to Anchor Own Show

Imagine my excitement when I read that one of my idols, Christiane Amanpour, the best and most highly-paid field reporter in the world, "the very model of a foreign correspondent, turning up at seemingly every war, genocide, famine and natural disaster, slipping through previously closed borders and interviewing even the most recalcitrant of foreign leaders," a brilliant and widely-respected journalist who says of her vocation cheeky stuff like, "I have a very frivolous side which I exercise liberally. People imagine that I relax by practising in the backyard with my Kalashnikov, but I absolutely don't do that," and thoughtful stuff like, "There are some situations one simply cannot be neutral about, because when you are neutral you are an accomplice. Objectivity doesn't mean treating all sides equally. It means giving each side a hearing," was getting her own daily show.

And then imagine my disappointment when I read further to find that it won't air in America.

[T]here is one thing she has never done: anchored her own daily news show.

That will change next year, when she starts a nightly program on CNN International, which is retooling its lineup. An edited version of Ms. Amanpour's show is expected to be shown on the weekends on CNN's United States channel.

Of course. Because where, amidst all the reporting of important stories about how crimes against women and crimes against dogs are comparable, catcalling, marriage-ruining hussies, what sermons HRC hears, whether calling HRC a "white bitch" is appropriate, stay-at-home wives, biological determinism of the sexes, "hot teacher sex," all women being whores, Biblical views on women's inherent submissive role, disappearing the word rape, endless sensational stories about missing, raped, and/or dead (white) women, and 22 hours of day of scolding Britney-Paris-Lindsay for being dirty sluts under the guise of "celebrity news," could CNN possibly find the time to give an hour a day to a news show hosted by a woman who pretty much undermines everything they constantly suggest about women?

Fuck you, CNN.

Watch Christiane Amanpour being cool as fuck here.
