Christiane Amanpour Gets Cozy With Tina Brown, Touts Newsweek Editor’s List of Important Women, Including Amanpour
Newsweek and Daily Beast editor Tina Brown flattered This Week host Christiane Amanpour by placing her on a list of 150 women who “shake the world.” The ABC anchor responded to this praise by featuring Brown on her Sunday show, touting the females on the list (which describes the host as “one of the world's most renowned journalists”). She enthused, “Who could fail to be optimistic?” On the show, Amanpour never mentioned her inclusion in this profile. Those not featured? Amanpour's ABC News colleagues, World News anchor Diane Sawyer and Good Morning America co-host Robin Roberts, despite the fact that their shows are on five days a week and have higher ratings. In addition to ignoring her place amongst these women, Amanpour also neglected to note that she will be participating in a panel on the same topic. ” And we'll be watching the women's summit, the Daily Beast/Newsweek that's coming up this week ,” she vaguely explained at the close of the segment. The ABC anchor hyped Brown …”You are also going to show us the new cover of 'Newsweek,' which we're going to put up. And it is about 150 women who shake the world with Hillary Clinton as the cover.” Amanpour's entry in the list asserts: One of the world's most renowned journalists, Christiane Amanpour is anchor of ABC's Sunday-morning political-affairs program and also hosts prime-time documentaries on international subjects. She has reported on and from Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Somalia, and Israel, among other regions. She has received every major broadcast award and was made a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for her “highly distinguished, innovative contribution” to journalism. Unsurprisingly, the list is full of liberal women. Democratic Senator Kristen Gillibrand, Democratic Congresswomen Gabrielle Giffords and Nancy Pelosi were included. A few token Republicans, such as Laura Bush and Fran Townsend were allowed. A partial transcript of the segment, which aired at 10:45am EST on March 6, follows:
