Maybe it's not Christiane, but the new Political Director AMY WALTER that has been the primary source of RON PAUL Blackout, until it was way to obvious and their market share kept declining. Sunday morning propaganda is more of the problem with the producers and directors behind the scenes, not the meat puppets told what to bark into cyclops vision.

Look's like Jake Tapper will be taking over which is just a face change.

Amanpour Said to Be Leaving ‘This Week’
By BRIAN STELTER (http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/author/brian-stelter/)

Christiane Amanpour is preparing to leave as the anchor of “This Week,” the Sunday morning news program on ABC, two people with knowledge of her plans said Tuesday.
Ms. Amanpour, a longtime international correspondent for CNN, joined ABC (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/19/business/media/19abc.html) about a year and a half ago to anchor “This Week.” There, she replaced George Stephanopoulos, who had moved to the network’s weekday morning program “Good Morning America.”
Rumors about Ms. Amanpour’s status on “This Week” have swirled for months. They were given more oxygen on Sunday when The New York Post (http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/cold_seat_at_this_week_0fFgXzW69w80yVIh17HwcP) said that ABC News executives were “mulling who might replace” her. ABC did not deny the newspaper’s report.
An ABC News spokesman declined to comment on Tuesday.
“This Week,” with its focus on domestic politics, was always perceived to be an unexpected shift in direction for Ms. Amanpour, who is known globally for her coverage of foreign conflicts.

When she joined ABC, she said she would (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/19/business/media/19abc.html) “focus on the intractable convergence of domestic and foreign policy.” Arguably her biggest scoop on ABC came in February when she interviewed (http://abcnews.go.com/International/egypt-president-hosni-mubaraks-interview-abc-news-christiane/story?id=12823840) President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt shortly before he stepped down.
Ms. Amanpour’s tenure on “This Week” coincided with a decline in ABC’s competitive position on Sunday mornings. For years “This Week” had been the No. 2 such program on television, behind NBC’s longtime No. 1, “Meet the Press.” Lately, though, CBS’s “Face the Nation” has moved into the No. 2 position, challenging “Meet the Press” for No. 1 and making “This Week” No. 3.

Her interview with Rand was excruciatingly bad.

Her Ron stuff was not bad, and in fact I thought she was pretty good on This Week. I absolutely hated her as a correspondent, especially on Iraq.

Amanpour is an empty headed sophist who does a good impersonation of an educated person - which she is not!

She is boring and bad at her job. Do they have her just to be diverse?

on top of that, she is a TRAITOR to her own Iranian people. It's one thing for her not to support Iran's government, but to help promote LIES about WMD's which will serve to have her countrymen bombed is pure treason.

An amusing segment by Laura Ingraham (when she wasn't busy touting neocon ideology):

She's actually getting a better job on the international scene where she belongs. She has always been better at international politics.

Christiane bragged about single handedly influencing Nato to get involved in Bosnia. Since she climed credit I blame her fo getting my A** sent there. No tears from me.
She seems to like democrat wars but not Republican wars.
