I have been waiting to hear what Christiane Amanpour has to say about the Iran situation

There just aren't many news sources I trust anymore, but I do trust Christiane.

She spoke with Jon Stewart and I found this transcript of the conversation, for anyone who wants to get non delusional information about what is going on.

full transcript, here

She was the first person I looked for when the news broke. I'm glad she was able to speak a bit with Jon Stewart. She is by far one of my most trusted journalists, and I hope she can speak out on this when she can, and I hope she can beat this current battle with cancer.

I hope she gets through this, and continues her good work for years to come.
