"Christiane Amanpour has reported all over the world, so she recognizes a
democracy on the brink when she sees one.
Last week, as she celebrated her 40 years at
CNN, she issued a challenge to
her fellow journalists in the US by describing how she would cover US politics
as a foreign correspondent.
“We have to be truthful, not neutral,” she urged. “I would make sure that you
don’t just give a platform … to those who want to crash down the constitution
and democracy.”
It’s an important call to action. But so far, the American press is failing to
meet its responsibility to adequately emphasize the stakes of the coming
election. Here’s some of what is going wrong"
