Tom Shales has repeatedly attacked Christiane Amanpour, on the most ad hominem grounds, in the Washington Post. He went after her for supposed anti-Israel bias last March. Lately he suggested that a prayer she offered on behalf of all the war dead was aimed at the fallen Taliban. Now ABC News has responded, reports Justin Elliott at Salon:
[Shales:] "Did she mean to suggest that our mourning extend to members of the Taliban?"
Jeffrey Schneider, senior vice president at ABC, told Salon that Shales’ criticism here is "utterly fabricated."…
I wonder how much of this is about Israel policy…
