CNN Colleagues Praise Christiane Amanpour After She Criticizes Network's Trump Town Hall
https://www.mediaite.com/news/cnn-colleagues-praise-christiane-amanpour-after-she-criticizes-networks-trump-town-hall/Veteran CNN International anchor, Christiane Amanpour, received a bevy of support from colleagues this week after she spoke candidly about her boss Chris Licht and the network’s recent Trump town hall.
-snipping paragraphs about tweets of support from CNN anchor Sara Sidner, journalist Erica Hill, Hong Kong correspondent Kristie Lu Stout-
Senior CNN producer Eliza Mackintosh echoed that exact sentiment: “Christiane @Amanpour addresses CNN’s decision to host Trump town hall, delivering a masterclass in journalism and sharing her mantra: ‘Be truthful, but not neutral. Bothsiderism — ‘on the one hand, on the other hand’ — is not always objectivity. It does not get you to the truth.’”
Anchor Isa Soares also tweeted the quote, as well as a link to CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy’s story on the Amanpour criticism. That story led Darcy’s Reliable Sources newsletter on Wednesday night.
Other CNN journalists tweeted out a link to the Darcy report, including CNN Chief International Investigative Correspondent Nima Elbagir, Jon Passantino, the editor of Reliable Sources, and CNN journalist Wynn Westmoreland. CNN anchor Jake Tapper retweeted Westmoreland’s post.

According to the article, Licht called Darcy into his office after seeing what he wrote in his Reliable Sources newsletter.
Darcy wrote in today's newsletter that he'll be taking a pre-planned vacation till the middle of next week...but he insists this really is just that, a planned vacation to celebrate his wife's birthday.
