 NWMI > Newsmakers > Out of India: reactions to Christiane Amanpour's 60 Minutes story on dowry in India
Amanpour's recent segment on dowry deaths in India for CBS illustrates the worst in western journalism.

Christiane Amanpour draws much material reward from her employment as a correspondent in not one but two global media conglomerates – CBS (now owned by Vivendi of France) and CNN (owned by AOL Time Warner).

 Decision ‘08 » Blog Archive » Christiane Amanpour Redux
Amanpour was not “targetted”, as per the NSA denial, she may well have been caught up in the surveillance *IF* she received a call *from* a phone that was being monitored for AL Qaeda connections.
Amanpour is most likely in contact with our enemies, even with Al Qaeda, in the pursuit of her work as a reporter with a Middle East beat.
Amanpour herself would certainly treat a call to Zarqawi differently than her other more mundane contacts; she should not be surprised that the US government does the same.

 Christiane Amanpour | TIME Europe Magazine | 60 Years of Heroes
It may be thought a little odd to call someone a hero who thoroughly loves what she does and has attained wealth and worldwide fame doing it.
She took on President Bill Clinton at a press conference in 1994 when the U.S. was temporizing about the carnage, prompting him to deny, angrily, her accusation of "constant flip-flops." But he ultimately reversed U.S. policy.
To Amanpour that demonstrated the virtues of a free press: "The relentless witness we paid to what was going on there finally forced our democracies, which did not want to intervene, to intervene, which was a good thing." Her critics, now mostly on the right, think she is just too political.

As Amanpour and her experts have it, there is nothing in the faith Alexis de Tocqueville reviled as “the principal cause of the decadence so visible today in the Muslim world” that could hothouse the likes of bin Laden.
What Amanpour dignifies with the divorce designation is really a legally enforced, involuntary polygamy that sees a wife replaced or rotated at a pace commensurate with the rapacity of her overlord’s libido.
Papa bin Laden followed in the footsteps of the Prophet Mohammad, not only in his voracious appetite (and enmity) for women, but in his love of “alarmingly young wives.” Mohammad married Aisha when she was six, consummating the union when the girl was nine (and he 54).
