TV Newser reports today that CNN's Christiane Amanpour has accepted the permanent host job for their ABC's Sunday morning news show, This Week. She will take up the position in August, with the execrable Jake Tapper to continue as fill-in shill (shill-in?) in the interim.
What a pleasant surprise to see one of the few remaining real old-fashioned journalists on teevee finally given a prominent Sunday morning spot. It appears that Tim Russert has finally found his successor, on another channel.
