Lara Logan: ‘They’re Not Journalists. They’re Political Assassins’ | American Thought Leaders
YouTube ^ | May 15, 2021 | American Thought Leaders - The Epoch Times

“Our profession today is unrecognizable,” says award-winning journalist Lara Logan.

A former correspondent for CBS’ “60 Minutes” and now host of Fox Nation’s “Lara Logan Has No Agenda,” she’s been at the frontlines for years reporting on war zones, gang warfare, Benghazi, and beyond.

And she’s seen the transformation of media from what it was meant to be, with many journalists blurring the lines between fact and opinion.

“They're not journalists. They're political assassins, working on behalf of political operatives and propagandists,” Logan argues.

What are the root causes of this shift? And how are a lot of media working hand in hand with big tech companies to shape narratives and public discourse?

This is American Thought Leaders, and I’m Jan Jekielek.

Her assessment at the end of that piece is chilling.

Absolutely.

It’s both a warning and a call to arms.

Absolutely EPIC video. Contrast her with what poses as journalism today. Actually, great job by the host to sit attentively, listen and let her talk. No MSM would have allowed such an interview. They would have constantly interrupted her to insert their false narrative. Thanks for posting.

She is a brave woman.

How did this happen?

The Mediacracy controlled American society, gradually moving us toward their goals, since at least 1965. They lied to everyone, but most of all, to themselves.

When Conservatives and Patriots started fighting back and gaining the means communicate outside the old Mediacracy, their mendacity and agenda was exposed, more and more.

They became more and more desperate, as their lies to everyone and themselves were exposed.

That is how we have gotten to where we are.

A bit too conciliatory for me

Why the shift? The Cathedral behaving like... The Cathedral they are.

When I went to look at the video, YouTube had automatically created a list of videos that I had previously watched. Four of these were marked as 'Blocked' with no way for me to figure out what they had been.

History is being erased even as we type.

It is a race.

The opposition is getting more and more desperate and obvious in their methods to keep power.

In order to keep their power, they have to become more and more obvious and totalitarian.

So, it is a race between people waking up and their power to control.

Journalists’ careers depend on access to information. The Deep State controls access. Journalists who want careers learn to dance to the Deep State tune.

Can you type out her quote from the very end of the video?

Like you said, very powerful.

FTA: “They’re not journalists. They’re political assassins, working on behalf of political operatives and propagandists,” Logan argues.

They are presstitutes.
