Whom Could She Possibly Be Talking About?

Christiane Amanpour, one of the few grownups left at CNN, tells NYT.com (via TVNewser):

"I reject and try to hold the line -- my line at least -- against the inclination by some to turn news reporting into a 'happy-camper war-and-disaster-zone travelogue.' I am uncomfortable watching deadly serious places and moments treated as the latest in extreme-adventure playgrounds for your own heroics or Petri dishes for examining your own feelings! Reporters notebooks are great, until they start replacing hard news."

Whose ears are burning? And, most importantly, how does he feel?
