being a metalhead is that you see great lyrics that are always a response to the BS of the political world.

Example of great metal songs with political motivated lyrics:

Megadeth-
"Blackmail The Universe"
"I Know Jack"
"Truth Be Told"
"Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?"
"Holy Wars...The Punishment Due"
"Rust In Peace...Polaris"
"Symphony Of Destruction"
"Countdown To Extinction"
"Captive Honour"

Metallica-
"Disposable Heroes"
"Leper Messiah"
"Master Of Puppets"
"One"
"...And Justice For All"

I am glad real metal is starting to go back to the lyrical content of the classic speed metal era of the mid/late 80's which probably won't set well with the pro-Bush crowds.

Well, I said "I thought" - which implies I was unsure. You failed to quote that correctly in your rebuke I mean what's good for the goose . . . .

Also, Amber clearly got the impression you said the same thing . . . .

Finally, and you know I had to do it JUST because I love ya darlin'

Thus, "seldom occurring or found : UNCOMMON" take could lead one to that conclusion - an apparently did for more than one person Or at least that you were perhaps unqualified to comment on the ubiquitousness of La Amanpour on CNN if you "rarely watch the news" How can you know what you rarely (seldom) see

But, you are digging in your heels (probably Via Spiga ) so . . . I capitulate and am contrite

You know, I have a fairly decent command of the English language. I really don't appreciate being condescended to by the likes of you. The use of the dictionary is rather superfluous. I know what I said and how I meant it.
I drew my conclusions about Christiane Amanpour by reading articles that were being published around the same time as this one. I believe it was the same thing dissention was referring to in one of his earlier posts:

Amanpour: CNN practiced self-censorship
CNN's top war correspondent, Christiane Amanpour, says that the press muzzled itself during the Iraq war. And, she says CNN "was intimidated" by the Bush administration and Fox News, which "put a climate of fear and self-censorship."
As criticism of the war and its aftermath intensifies, Amanpour joins a chorus of journalists and pundits who charge that the media largely toed the Bush administrationline in covering the war and, by doing so, failed to aggressively question the motives behind the invasion.

On last week's Topic A With Tina Brown on CNBC, Brown, the former Talk magazine editor, asked comedian Al Franken, former Pentagon spokeswoman Torie Clarke and Amanpour if "we in the media, as much as in the administration, drank the Kool-Aid when it came to the war."

Said Amanpour: "I think the press was muzzled, and I think the press self-muzzled. I'm sorry to say, but certainly television and, perhaps, to a certain extent, my station was intimidated by the administration and its foot soldiers at Fox News. And it did, in fact, put a climate of fear and self-censorship, in my view, in terms of the kind of broadcast work we did."

Brown then asked Amanpour if there was any story during the war that she couldn't report.

"It's not a question of couldn't do it, it's a question of tone," Amanpour said. "It's a question of being rigorous. It's really a question of really asking the questions. All of the entire body politic in my view, whether it's the administration, the intelligence, the journalists, whoever, did not ask enough questions, for instance, about weapons of mass destruction. I mean, it looks like this was disinformation at the highest levels."

Clarke called the disinformation charge "categorically untrue" and added, "In my experience, a little over two years at the Pentagon, I never saw them (the media) holding back. I saw them reporting the good, the bad and the in between."

Fox News spokeswoman Irena Briganti said of Amanpour's comments: "Given the choice, it's better to be viewed as a foot soldier for Bush than a spokeswoman for al-Qaeda."

CNN had no comment.

"Given the choice, it's better to be viewed as a foot soldier for Bush than a spokeswoman for al-Qaeda."

sounds like six of one and half-dozen of another if you ask me....

ps: I never WATCH the news on TV anymore. I dont have cable and I cant afford satelite service. I get my news via print, either the newspaper (which is also biased depending) or the internet. the internet is best because you get near realtime feeds from the major outlets. But, awhile back, I had seen Christiane on CNN and I remember being very impressed with her. She is one savvy gal. Its too bad the Bush League's control is so insidious.

Post #7 - you said "I rarely watch the news" - Granted rarely is not never - but it does imply you do not watch too often

You put your foot in your mouth by hounding her about that quote, eh? You misquoted her and then had to post the real deal when called on it. Tsk-tsk.

My word, you are something. Amanpour's lack of presence at CNN has been big news for awhile, and that includes in print.
