CNN’s chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour introduced a new HBO documentary to a packed John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum last night, describing the film as a reflection of the violent polarization of the world today. Amanpour introduced the documentary, “Journalist & the Jihadi: The Murder of Daniel Pearl,” saying that the refusal of both politicians and the general public to believe journalists’ reports on the war in Iraq is a dangerous “denial of reality.” The film, which is directed and produced by Ahmed Jamal...

Fans of actor Mark Ruffalo were disappointed, however, as he was not present in spite of advertisements to the contrary. The four speakers eagerly expressed their pride in the film...
...upset to learn was actually a clever Geico ad). Unfortunately, a similar, albeit toned-down, version of it just premiered last Thursday on CBS. The new show “Survivor: Cook Islands” is about as politically correct as the first draft of Khatami’s forum speech, before he remembered that lying is sometimes a good rhetorical tool. Although a more offensive show could be conceived (e.g. “Survivor: Gaza Strip”), “Survivor: Cook Islands” is pretty terrible. Contestants are divided up into four tribes based on race...
