Amonpour Plays Softball with Gaddafi

Tweet

On ABC News This Week with Christiane Amonpour Sunday, February 27, 2011 she went to Libya. She interviewed Saif Gaddafi, the so-called reformist son of Muammar Gaddafi. She failed to ask the hard questions or confront him with the hard evidence.

It was a soft sell job. IMHO they are trying to position Saif Gaddafi to replace the old man and carry on the oil business as before which is all that Disney, which owns ABC, cares about when it comes to Libya.

Warning. This video contains very graphic footage of very violent injuries to human beings made by large caliber weapons of war. It is they type of thing that can not be unseen. Given that ABC News has chosen to soft petal and prettify Gaddafi's violence, I'm afraid this in necessary.
