Lara Logan and CBS News Have Parted Ways
Variety ^ | February 19, 2019 | Brian Steinberg

Posted on 02/19/2019 11:24:11 AM PST by GuavaCheesePuff

Lara Logan, the journalist who gained wider renown covering war-torn spots in the Middle East for CBS News, is no longer with the network and has not been for several months.

The split, disclosed as the result of Logan making an appearance over the weekend on a podcast in which she suggested news consumers ought to get information from both liberal and conservative outlets, might come as a surprise to outsiders. Logan had been working for “60 Minutes” and gained a reputation for visiting dangerous locales in Afghanistan and Iraq, often embedded with U.S. armed forces. She joined CBS News in 2002 and had been one of the unit’s top foreign correspondents.

So, which came first, the chicken or the egg? That is, did she see the light on the nature of biased journalism before or after she was fired?

Just curious, since I certainly agree with her recent statements.

Journalism is in big trouble, except if you’ve got some sort of Center-Right bias.

She’s interviewing for a job right now. The question is whether she’d still be in the tank with the Deep State, if she ever was.

NYP: Lara Logan says media standards have led to ‘horses–t’ reporting

Reporters have become “political activists” and even “propagandists,” former CBS News’ foreign correspondent Lara Logan said during a recent podcast.

The war correspondent was speaking to Navy SEAL Mike Ritland on Friday when she delivered the broadside against the media.

“The media everywhere is mostly liberal,” Logan said.

“Most journalists are left or liberal or Democrat or whatever word you want to give it.”

She added that journalistic standards have been lowered, resulting in “horses–t” reporting.

“I mean, you read one story or another and hear it and it’s all based on one anonymous administration official, former administration official,” she said. “That’s not journalism. That’s horses–t. Sorry. That is absolute horses–t.”

Maybe if we are really lucky, she will take Chris Wallice’s job at Faux.
Chris will then be free to do what he really wants...Cabin Boy for Omama’s yacht.

That would be a serious upgrade, especially if she sticks to what she was wearing for the podcast. (what’s up with that, by the way?)

She was braver than many of us - stood up to the bigots at CBS and the rest of the MSM... God willing she’ll get a job when we shame Liberal Haters OUT of the media...

Megyn left FOX. Lara should be hired.

She will need blonde highlights and won't be able to cuss.

Now that she is in the States, she is an African-American.

Lara Logan and CBS News Have Parted Ways

Judging by some of her recent comments, Lara may have gained a little wisdom, ... 20 years too late.

She could have saved herself a lot of injury and misery had she not pushed the Leftist MSM Narratives, Memes, Fake News, Hoaxes and Propaganda.

She was sexually assaulted in Egypt and has long term physical damage because of it.
