CNN Under Pressure To Fire Despicable Christiane Amanpour After She Claimed Jewish Hostages Were ‘Treated Better’ Than Gazans
CNN’s veteran anchor Christiane Amanpour landed in hot water after claiming that freed Israeli hostages were “treated better” than Gazans. The shocking comment, made live on air, drew immediate backlash from viewers and pro-Israel groups.
It was not a good day for Amanpour, a British-Iranian "journalist" whose name has become synonymous with Israel- and America-bashing.
Amanpour was one of the sour-faced media figures who, while talking about the hostages being released, seemed to fret about Hamas supposedly losing their "leverage" in the deal. What was inarguably worse, however, was her claim that the hostages were "probably being treated better than the average Gazan, because they are the pawns and the chips that Hamas had."
