A STAR REPORTER’S BREAK WITH REALITY (Lara Logan)
The Atlantic ^ | JUNE 12, 2023 | Elaina Plott Calabro

Posted on 06/13/2023 2:22:40 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Lara Logan was once a respected 60 Minutes correspondent. Now she trades in conspiracy theories that even far-right media disavow. What happened?

The footage is shown before she takes the stage: Lara Logan in a headscarf, addressing the camera from the streets of Mogadishu. Logan ducking for cover as bullets crack overhead in Afghanistan. Logan interrogating a trophy hunter in Texas. Logan walking with Christine Lagarde, Justin Trudeau, Mark Wahlberg, Jane Goodall.

It is a tour through Logan’s past life as a journalist for CBS’s 60 Minutes, a glimpse at the various exchanges and explosions that earned her the awards and a “prominent spot,” as her former network once put it, “among the world’s best foreign correspondents.” Then, three minutes and one second later, it is over. Cut to right now, February 27, 2023, in Fredericksburg, Texas: Logan looking out at 200 people gathered in a creaking church auditorium for the inaugural meeting of the Gillespie County chapter of Moms for Liberty.

“If you want to know why it’s called social media,” Logan says, “I’ll tell you why: Because Karl Marx was hired by Henry Rothschild, by the Rothschild family, to develop a system of social control. So when you see social, it is a form of control—that’s all it is. Social media is a form of controlling us all.”

She goes on, picking up on the title of a recent book by a friend of hers, retired General Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser and a far-right conspiracy theorist: “So what does fifth-generation warfare really mean?” It means that “you’re meant to believe the narrative, regardless of the truth.”

The Atlantic may as well be Media Matters.

She’s right.
As George Orwell said, the final order of the party is to believe the narrative and not your own eyes and ears.

This newsbimbo also wrote a hitpiece on Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Like any good Democrat news-stooge, she married money.

A reporter who doesn’t prostrate herself before the god of liberalism. She must be crazy, right?

An article intended to destroy Logan. These people are pathetic.

Lara Logan was raped in Egypt by a pack of Muslims. How dare this journalist attack her in this way.

I’d trust Lara Logan before I would any of the writers over at the Atlantic.

But was it “rape rape” (asks Whoopi Goldberg)?

Not seeing a problem with what Logan is saying .

And on a different note-Have these so called "journalists" attacking her, reported on anything about the allegations against Joey "Bribes" Biden?

Just curious.

“Because Karl Marx was hired by Henry Rothschild, by the Rothschild family, to develop a system of social control.”

Reminds me of the book I read that was written by an East European evangelist. He wrote that Karl Marx was a satanist and that the Kremlin kept under wraps a lot of what Karl Marx wrote.

From None Dare Call it Conspiracy

Footnote:
{*} Karl Marx was hired by a mysterious group who called themselves the League of Just Men to write the Communist Manifesto as demogogic boob-bait to appeal to the mob. In actual fact the Communist Manifesto was in circulation for many years before Marx' name was widely enough recognized to establish his authorship for this revolutionary handbook. All Karl Marx really did was to update and codify the very same revolutionary plans and principles set down seventy years earlier by Adam Weishaupt, the founder of the Order of Illuminati in Bavaria. And, it is widely acknowledged by serious scholars of this subject that the League of Just Men was simply an extension of the Illuminati which was forced to go deep underground after it was exposed by a raid in 1786 conducted by the Bavarian authorities.

This little snowflake should say this to Lara’s face.

Lara Logan got red pilled and she’s not going back. They hate the ones that get away.

The Atlantic is not where one goes for truth. If you want leftist/democrat propaganda, that you can get at The Atlantic

Elaina Calabro digs a credibility hole for herself with the slanted language of the article. I’m not motivated to follow the link.

“Lara Logan was once a respected 60 Minutes correspondent.” Red flag? We’ll see.

“Now she trades in conspiracy theories that even far-right media disavow.” I’m beginning to like this lady.

The Atlantic. I read Anne Applebaums book the Gulag. Got half way through. She doesn’t care for coddling up to the Russians. Still she supports the rats along with her magazine.

Next is Robert D. Kaplan. Good writer. Sees things as it is. Still he writes for them too.

My favorite was the late Georgie Anne Geyer. Beautiful, charming. Felt men should be allowed to have their own clubs regarding Augusta. Argued with Castro.
Last is Amity Schlage. Waited patiently for her book on the Great Society after her stand-up book the Forgotten Man. You’d think she’s be a conservative but she is happy it’s Biden. Go figure.
