Personally, I think this is a great pick. Amanpour is a real journalist and not a television personality. She is a dying breed in television news – a reporter who digs deep into a story and tries to educate the viewer on the complexities and nuances of a given situation. She doesn’t rely on sound bites or let conventional wisdom – which is so often wrong – into her reporting. She also does an excellent job of explaining both sides of an issue, but does not allow herself to become a megaphone for unfounded talking points. So kudos to ABC for the pick. I look forward to her debut.
