🚨Christiane Amanpour is as establishment as it gets.
She was married for two decades to James Rubin, who was Jewish and served as U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs and chief State Department spokesman under President Bill Clinton from 1997 to 2000.
He was also a close adviser and spokesman for Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, widely regarded as one of her top aides.
Rubin’s career extended beyond the Clinton administration: he advised Joe Biden in the Senate, worked on the campaigns of John Kerry and Hillary Clinton, served at the OECD, and returned to the State Department as a special envoy.
Amanpour has spent decades at the centre of the Western foreign policy and media establishment as CNN’s chief international anchor, interviewing presidents, prime ministers, diplomats, and global power brokers.
She is deeply connected to the political, diplomatic, and media institutions that shape mainstream Western narratives.
Calling her anti-establishment is naive.
No anti-establishment figure could have weathered so many political and cultural storms without being deeply embedded in the machine that creates the narrative.
A critical voice, she will be missed!
