Amanpour Confronts CNN Brass About “Double Standards” on Israel Coverage

#CNN employees, including the renowned international news anchor #Christiane #Amanpour, confronted network executives over what the staffers described as myriad leadership failings in coverage of #Israel’s war on #Gaza, according to a leaked recording of a recent all-hands meeting obtained by The Intercept.

In the hourlong meeting at CNN’s London Bureau on February 13, staffers took turns questioning a panel of executives about CNN’s protocols for covering the war in Gaza and what they describe as a hostile climate for Arab reporters.

Several junior and senior CNN employees described feeling devalued, embarrassed, and disgraced by CNN’s war coverage. https://theintercept.com/2024/03/01/cnn-christiane-amanpour-israel-gaza-coverage/
