Clinton News Network commemorating the anniversary with black arm bands:

> 2) Marking the tenth anniversary of the demolition of the
Berlin Wall, CNN's The World Today on Monday featured an interview
with Mikhail Gorbachev. Christiane Amanpour followed the usual
media pattern of crediting Gorbachev with bringing down the wall,
but she also blamed him for it.

After opening her November 8 piece by asserting that some say
Gorbachev should get a statue in every eastern European capital,
she asked him: "How did you feel yourself watching that wall come
down?"

Later, after Gorbachev praised socialism and noted how Western
Europe is led by social Democrats, Amanpour replied by raising the
dark side of the end of communism:

"Indeed, ten years later, many are saying the unbridled
capitalism that followed communism has unleashed misery on
citizens who had all their social needs taken care of, especially
in the former Soviet Union."

To Gorbachev: "Mr. President, you are regarded by many people
in this world as a hero for causing the end of tyranny and the
collapse of communism. But you are also criticized heavily by
those who say you opened a pandora's box. And they say look at the
strife now, look at the economic chaos, look at the Mafia
structure, look at the corruption. They say that you opened and
started a plan that you did not know how to finish."

Amazing. Hitting a communist from the left.
