@HowardKurtz Hours and hours of ….talking to the camera revealing no useful information?
@HowardKurtz perhaps CNN and its audience have very different ideas of what is reporting, what is useful information, what is coverage.
@jason_pontin If CNN International was reporting, and CNN USA was not – what despicable contempt for American audience!

Searched Twitter for CNN International: http://tinyurl.com/lvfkp2
@jason_pontin Obviously not: US audience is very angry right now. Also knowing how Amanpour lied in every sentence from Bosnia – don’t trust
@HowardKurtz why anyone cares about his endless rant? Is THAT reporting? Useless information: #CNNFail
@jason_pontin No data, but see Twitter anger, see blogs, talk to neighbors. Can you quantify – you have the tools I don’t.
@jason_pontin Unfortunately, Amanpour has good reputation in the USA because nobody here reported (that’s before WWW) she lied every day.
@jason_pontin They cannot ignore the most vocal and broad-reaching subset of the audience any more. It spreads from online -> offline: bad!
@jason_pontin There is a day off in the world of news?
@jason_pontin Oh, I see. I though it was something automated, online as well as part of the news organizations.
@jason_pontin don’t know that website, but the gist of that article is correct. She was not alone: Peter Jennings was worse and he was comfy
Silent for 17 hours: @tehranelection stream is something to check out and hope it comes back soon with more #iranelection news
RT @StevenZimm: Satellite jamming of BBC TV and radio feeds by Iran reported http://tr.im/osOF
Via @jason_pontin Learn about Amanpour http://bit.ly/KlBNu Do you trust her? I quit trusting her in early 1990s
1/3 When we demonstrated against Milosevic, we cheered CNN for being the only foreign media reporting from the scene
2/3 A couple of years later, CNN was deemed 4th party in the war with the likes of Amanpour triggering breaks of ceasefires & ruining talks
3/3 Since then, I do not trust CNN on anything. Always double-check with trusted bloggers.
@susana71 That was 1991. Oh, how things change! #CNNFail
