Journalism was once an intellectual curiosity profession

What I heard today from the mouth of Christiane Amanpour, is simply unacceptable. Where does that hate comes from? First, it is the biggest funeral ever... In the history of the human kind. Controversial Saints? If anything is controversial, that is Ms. Amanpour, actually not controversial, but BIASED to the fullest extend of the word. We remember when she stood in Glina, Croatia talking about WW2 when GENOCIDE against Croatian civilians was present time. My father fought Fascism and everybody that I know and I know a lot of people. We Croatians defeated Fascism. Not just fought, but defeated. You didn't do your homework, not just today but for the last 15 years. You are courageous to go to the war zones and I give you credit for that, but your lack of knowledge is incredible. The only reason, why you can sustain that position is because the rest of the people that surround you are equally ignorant. Journalism was once an intellectual curiosity. Today it is a "fast food" mentality of "me too" journalism. I myself am musician and if I may say so, oriented towards humanitarian causes and activism www.nenadbach.com  And if I say so as a rock musician, ( most of us are as tolerant as you can be ) - Shame on you - that means that , girl, you've got it wrong. Not just that sentence about Stepinac (man whom one nation can only be proud of) but the your whole life, you've missed many things that you are not even aware of. Hate comes from within. And you have it.

I hope you lose your job and position very soon.
