CNN’s Unexpected Response: Addressing Backlash Over Christiane Amanpour’s Controversial Hostage Comments

If you’re not a person who hates Israel and who has routinely shown sympathy for their terrorist enemies, Monday was a good day, with the surviving hostages being released as a result of the historic peace deal between Israel and Hamas, brokered by President Trump and members of his administration.

But Monday was not a good day for CNN’s longtime chief international anchor Christiane Amanpour, a British-Iranian “journalist” whose name has become synonymous with Israel- and America-bashing.

As RedState reported earlier, 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.”
