1. I don't
I find it refreshing to have intelligent, respectful conversations about important issues. It feels like the adults are in charge instead of kids flinging food. There's plenty of places to get shouting matches or speakers talking past each other.

2. News isn't supposed to be shouting matches between
opposing opinions, it's supposed to bring us the truth of what is going on around this planet..not one opinion stacked up against another opinion.

3. I liked when Jake Tapper was doing the show
But nobody held a candle to Tim Russert on the Sunday talking head shows.

4. Amanpour acts as a sanity anchor
Something about her presence just says "don't be ridiculous".

5. I think she's wonderful!
Always have.

If I could be someone other than me, I'd be Christiane Amanpour.

6. No. Because of her I'm tuning in again on Sunday mornings...
something I haven't done in YEARS. And if Maddow took over at Meet the Press, I'd watch that again, too.
