Journalism is in crisis in the United States. It's reached a pinnacle of discredit and non-contribution. And we have faces and profiles of these talking faces like Lara Logan.

She's a relatively new correspondent for CBS news. Her previous accomplishments include swimsuit model and news-person for Western Europe.

What is at the heart of her rapid rise to a 1M contract for CBS? Not the facts. Not reality. Instead narrow-minded, sensational, text-book AP guide to journalism. Any mechanism or invetnion to push her ahead of the competition. Her reports are essentially war-profiteering to hype her career.

A quick search of her written archive at CBS shows lag, inaccuracy, and bias. From July 23 to Sept 5 no report exists from her, right about the time that Americans were in a void of information from Iraq.

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was apprehended and a vacuum of power in the insurgency appeared. Lara went to Afghanistan apparently in search of bad news to report when she should have gathered information about actions of the Mahdi Army and Sadr, or Iranina and Syrian interactions.

Her report on Sadr finally came on Sept. 26 to praise Sadr and his Mahdi army?!
