Two Greats!

Now I am totally in awe of Christiane Amanpour! She is la creme de la crema of TV journalists, and her reporting on 360 this past week was wonderful. I am a jounalist by trade, so I suppose that I look for certain qualities in reporters/anchors that most folks do not.

By the way, the nominations are open for this years' CNN Heros. Do you know of any everyday heros. I am guessing that AC and Christiane will be co-hosting that show again( I have not heard differently. I think they work well together, him with the snark and Christiane with the dignified., more old-school reporting. They are both excellent, just very different. Her reporting from North Korea was just amazing, had anyone else catched her walk through tour of the diabled nuclear power plant?

CNN Heros was WOW!

Anyone who missed the CNN Heros special last evening, there is another chance to view it from 8-11 EST. I saw it last night and all I can say is WOW. Every person chosen by the panel is a hero and I am so glad that these sort of extraordinary folks were honored in such a public, international way. I had tears in my eyes and also these stories made my brain go into overtime. One person CAN make a difference in the world if she/he is determined enough to do so.

My favorite, if I must pick one, is the 12 year old boy who started the bone marrow program. He seemed so poised and mature. I will not divulge anymore incase there are any Anderfans who have yet to view this special.

The music was excellent. I really like Sheryl Crow's new song.

Anderson is an excellent host for these sort of events, and I enjoyed seeing and hearing from Christiane Amanpour as well. They make a good team and are the only reasons I view CNN at all. Amanpour is a living legend in the world of jounalism.

"CNN Heros" Special

Anderson and Christiane Amanpour will co-host a special " CNN Heros" on Thursday evening( LIVE) at 10 p.m. EST. This is well-worth watching. I saw Anderson and Christiane interviewed on LKL regarding the special and they said that, as well as honoring these everyday people, there will be live entertainment.
