Anyone paying attention to Lara Logan knows there is a vast difference in integrity between her and Dan Rather. Lara is a very good reporter who made a mistake, and now owned up to the mistake.
I actually, once upon a time, liked Rather. Maybe he was always a total jerk. But truthfully, I think most of the older newscasters had an agenda. They just didn’t get called on the carpet and exposed because there was no alternate media.
I do wonder why 60 Minutes didn’t vet this contractor better. It makes no sense to me.
“my concern is that the (Lara Logan’s 60 Minutes Benghazi) story was done very pointedly to appeal to a more conservative audience’s beliefs about what happened at Benghazi.”
Or maybe it is trying to appeal to people who prefer the truth as opposed to fairy-tales, make-believe, political spin, etc.
There was a time when journalists reported the news. Then there was the time when journalists made the news. Now is the time when journalists make up the news.
They have become so smitten with their own self-importance they no longer feel whether something is true or not has any relevance. Their saying it makes it true (in their minds).
Mission accomplished!
Great tagline! I’m gonna watch Friday Night Smackdown now, more and more it seems pro wrestling imitates the LSM and politics in general, doesn’t it?
Dan will swear to his grave the Bush National Guard memos were real.
I loved watching Lara’s reports from Iraq during the war.
Right on target.
The episode changed absolutely nothing.
I’d love to sympathize with the lady, but I really can’t recall the last time I voluntarily watched ANY network “news” program, precisely because of their absolute bias and total lack of integrity.
When all you work with is sh**, sh**’s all you’re going to produce.
I think they want hype up for November or what ever sweep was that that bottom line they want that story ASAP
So they rush rush didn’t check out the facts
I got give old girl Lara props here
Least she mention she mess up
Big difference between Logan’s “we were misled and wrong” and Rather’s “fake but accurate”.
THis chick is no more a reporter than Dan Rather, who as his final defense in the story that ended so badly for him, admitted, don’t you remember, that he just reads what he’s given, which is true of all those pretty faces with lots of hair and confident manner you see on the idiot box. Something to remember..
And there are STILL some despicable idiots on FR that defend and justify the abduction of Elian back to Cuba.
Not only that. I think she learned after she was molested/surrounded by the mooslum animals in Egypt (where she later took a long absence after the incident) that she cannot take anything for granted.
I still remember she imbedded during the Iraq War with a tank battalion and I thought this was gonna be another anti-war propaganda piece for CBS but surprisingly, it was fair.
I Agree!
Truth and accuracy are what appeal to conservative audiences. Mapes isn't a fan of the truth, eh?
Part 1/2 - CBS's Lara Logan: The Obama Administration Is Lying
Davies exists for one reason, to discredit the truth. The story was done as reverse spin. It’s psyops, so that anyone referencing a near truth can be called out on it and blamed for believing Davies story.
Fidel told Clinton that he’d open his prisons and flood America. Clinton would rather a little boy be sacrificed than a Clinton Presidency. So, Rather and Craig were working for Fidel and the Clinton Presidency.
Note that I didn’t say Bill Clinton. He and Hillary are joined by their black hearts. They’re scum and nothing is beneath them.
