She Is Scaring Them

To the point that even her own colleagues at her current network have no problem going on the record to say things like this:

King’s comments were surprising for how candid he was in his assessment. While calling her a friend and colleague, he said “I wish her the best.” But:

There are a lot of questions. Christiane does not have a lot of experience covering American politics and so how does she fit in on ABC on Sunday morning? I’ll leave that to them to figure out. It is an interesting pick, it is an unorthodox choice, I think that’s just self-evident…I’ll watch how it plays out with everyone else.

More: “It’s an Interesting choice for them, they really decided to go in a new direction. We’ll see how it plays out. And I would tell everybody out there, put her on your DVR and watch Candy Crowley on State of the Union.”

Yes, what King says is true, she hasn't covered American politics before. B

But instead of praising the terrific work of that his friend Amanpour has done in journalism over the years on international issues and how she isn't scared to hold those in power accountable, King decides to bring up the tried fact that she's "never covered US politics before."

The Village Beltway media is, in my mind, deep down inside scared of the massive impact and change Amanpour could have on the pathetic Sunday show circuit. There is a reason why all these views on her getting the gig on This Week are coming out.

I guess she has earned the title of "The most unqualified qualified person ever."
