Christiane Amanpour Named Next Host of ABC’s This Week; Tapper Takes Over During Interim

In the end, perhaps somewhat predictably, David Westin went with the biggest star.

Today, Mr. Westin, the president of ABC News, officially announced that the network had hired Christiane Amanpour as the new anchor of the Sunday public affairs program, This Week.

Barack Obama and the Case of the Missing Vice President-Elect

Since he was chosen to fill out the Democratic ticket back in August, Joe Biden has maintained that he doesn’t want the expansive authority and high profile that Dick Cheney carved out for himself as vice president.
