CNN takes a stand and Amanpour declines to wear a headscarf for the Iranian president! But for the former ISIS/Al Qaeda (still wanted) Jolani CNN drops all principles and interviews in a headscarf. (lemmy.ml)

That's the gist of it, although it's a different CNN report in the second interview I think. Clearly, CNN can find reporters who will wear a head scarf if they actually want to.

Yea lack of glasses probably a different reporter. But the fact that it is a different reporter shows that CNN could have accommodated the Iranian Presidents demands if they wanted to, then the fact that they accommodated the al qaeda guy shows it was never about the head scarf or Islam or anything like that.
