  • Poor reporting

    I’m listening to “Inside Hezbolah” - the questions are in English (obviously originally not in English) BUT it would be fabulous to hear the English translation of the responses. So NO real understanding on my part of the interviewee’s views - which was the key point of this episode. Lots of views of other reporters, but from the title, the key point of the views inside were what counted, and we couldn’t understand them because we don’t speak their language. So, if you are going to broadcast ... more

  • Excellent, except…

    The music hype is repetitive and simply junk-noise. Please calm down. The news doesn’t need any hype-push today. The chaos and crises are loud enough in text as spoken by your fine reporters. All of you: stellar reporting.

  • Israeli UN Ambassador, Danny Danon

    Amanpour delivered a masterclass of journalism: showing the highest degree of respect, while not allowing opaque dishonesty overlooked. I was screaming into my headphones, she asked literally every question that I wanted answers for. I still don’t REALLY know those answers—he never gave a direct response (but maybe that’s the answer).

    MY POINT: this the best-of-best journalist. Bravo.. and thank you.

  • Stick with Amanpour!!

    Christiane is the only person from CNN whose podcasts I still listen to for news. She serves it up intelligently with integrity and without an agenda.

  • Please Don’t Interrupt

    If Christiane could somehow learn to NOT interrupt important guests like David Petraeus, then I would be able to hear what Mr. Petraeus has to say, in response to her pointed questions. Rather than hearing incessant, indignant, and disrespectful interruptions from Ms. Amanpour. Let the man speak !! That is the purpose of the interview for God’s sack! Learn some respect!
