Amanpour's "truthful, not neutral" pledge meets the midterm aftermath

Her election discussion with Tina Brown and Anthony Scaramucci has drawn more views than the channel's established Iran-war and Maggie Haberman conversations.

'It was the incompetence and arrogance'

Christiane Amanpour announced her departure from CNN, then offered listeners a clear statement about what would continue on The Ex Files: "I still want to be truthful, not neutral". Her post-midterm conversation gives that pledge a pointed political subject.

With Tina Brown and former Trump communications director Anthony Scaramucci, Amanpour examines why voters turned away from Trump, including living costs, the Iran war and corruption. Scaramucci argues that the result rejects Trumpism, but also warns Democrats against squandering their opportunity, as we reported here.

The new development is the scale of the audience. That episode has reached roughly 664,000 views, putting it beyond both Amanpour's March conversation about whether the Iran war was escaping Trump's control and her August interview with Maggie Haberman.

Across the channel, daily views have climbed to about 727,000, more than ten times the usual level. That is a channel-wide rise, not the daily audience for the Scaramucci episode alone.

A shorter extract, titled "'It was the incompetence and arrogance'", accompanies the full discussion. Both keep the focus on Scaramucci's explanation of the Republican defeat, while the longer episode also asks what the result means for international policy and Trump's legacy.
