"Truthful, not neutral" has been Christiane Amanpour's self-declared motto. Neutral, she certainly isn't. Over a long career, she has demonstrated a bias against Israel.
CAMERA’s documentation of Amanpour over the course of several decades has revealed her bias against Israelis, and affinity for the Jewish state’s adversaries.
Tom Fletcher and the United Nations are entitled to their frustration with the IDF. Their missions do not exactly align. Both sides are also operating in an environment with no real historical precedents and are learning as they go. But Amanpour never engaged with the misaligned institutional imperatives.
In a single CNN broadcast, Christiane Amanpour permitted guests to accuse the "Zionist government" of executing a "final solution," ignored extensive evidence of Hamas operating in the exact hospitals where her doctor guests volunteered, and concealed critical source biases.
Today, we are witnessing a coordinated effort to collapse the boundaries of law and language to target the State of Israel. By aiding the campaign to redefine genocide, news outlets are actively eroding the post-war liberal framework and transforming international law into a tool of state propaganda.
The Washington Post, CNN, and PBS have recently offered fawning interviews of a children's YouTube sensation who has bought Hamas propaganda hook, line, and sinker. And as CAMERA tells the Washington Times, they're serving the terror group's ends, while ignoring its history of weaponizing the suffering of children.
In a recent video, posted on CNN’s TikTok and YouTube “Shorts” channels, Amanpour claimed that an Iranian ballistic missile struck “near a hospital” in Beer Sheva. In fact, the missile slammed directly into the Soroka Medical Center, destroying the hospital’s surgical ward.
In both televised and print reports, Katie Polglase advocates for sanctions on Israel. The televised segment also contained an echo of an ancient antisemitic stereotype.
The CNN anchor invited propagandist Raja Shehadeh to her show, but he didn't honestly answer the question, instead engaging in the manipulative tactic of reversing victim and offender.
