Lara Logan, formerly of CBS, sounds off on media's treatment of Trump, other liberal bias
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Former CBS News journalist Lara Logansays the mainstream media is not allowing President Trump to be “normalized” as the nation's leader and accused CNN, among others, of passing off opinions as fact in a Fox News interview set to air Sunday.
“I've never seen the press corps behave the way they do today," Logan told host Mark Levin on “Life, Liberty & Levin. "So, it stands out to me because it's a departure from what I've seen throughout the last three decades. There is something actually much more significant about what you're seeing happen with the White House press corps.”
Logan added: “Why is [Trump] not allowed to change how the White House operates in terms of its communications and the rules of the White House press corps and how these things happen? He’s not allowed to be seen as an instrument of change. That's a propaganda talking point of the progressive political movement. He's not allowed to be normalized as a president. So whatever changes he makes have to be resisted by the Resistance.”
Last month, while appearing on a podcast hosted by former Navy SEAL Mike Ritland, Logan said that journalists were “mostly liberal” and pushing narratives. The comments that lead to a backlash against the former correspondent.
Logan said she was “cheering” when former ABC News "Nightline" anchor Ted Koppel told an audience earlier this month that President Trump was not mistaken that the "establishment press" was out to get him.
“I know I'm not the only journalist who's watching in horror as opinion and pejorative language is passed off as fact,” Logan said.
The former “60 Minutes” reporter also criticized “CNN Tonight” host Don Lemonfor not admitting he is an “opinion person” and called CNN’s chief media correspondent Brian Stelter “anti-Fox.”

“I was wondering myself this morning ... Is Don Lemon an opinion person? Like, I know Sean Hannity is [on the] right, he makes no secret of it. So does Tucker Carlson. So does Laura Ingram. But what about Don Lemon? Is he an opinion person? Rachel Maddow, I know where she sits. So what about people like Don Lemon ... There's a lot of opinion in his show,” Logan told Levin. “In fact it's almost all opinion from beginning to end and Stelter, who is the media guy… appears to be the anti-Fox guy.”
Logan also told Levin that America’s academic institutions and newsrooms lacked political diversity.
“It's no secret that the vast majority of academic institutions in this country are liberal,” Logan said. “So what bothers me is that one political ideology dominates all of your academic, almost all, of your academic institutions. And that same political ideology dominates all of your newsrooms, almost all, of your newsrooms. I mean, let's face it, until Fox News in television. Where did you go if you weren't a liberally minded moderate, if you, like, if you wanted to hear an alternative point of view or a conservative point of view?”

Lara Logan is right.
Lara Logan has been an accomplished, award-winning journalist for many years. She is 100% correct in calling out the MSM and other left-wing media for posting their lies and opinion but calling it "journalism".
Lara Logan has been an accomplished, award-winning journalist for many years. She's also a whore.
In 2019, you're seriously trying to slut-shame a woman for having an affair with a man who was in the process of getting a divorce? It takes two to tango!
The left-wing mantra of stand and defend women just flew out the window! LOL!
She got pregnant with a married man while she was married to another man. Also had an affair with another journalist while married. I don't defend that but you go right ahead.
As if divorcing couples haven’t moved on before their divorce is finalized. It would really be bad if his or her affair was the cause of the breakup of a marriage or both of them. That was not the case. Oh, and when the divorces were finalized, she did marry the father of her child. And of course none of this has anything to do with the quality of her work as a reporter or what she’s now saying a decade later about the media as it is now.
Did it ever! And we have no idea what Logan’s political beliefs are. She won’t say. But since she is attacking liberal bias she is no longer a woman according to their standards.
Your comments show that you're hung up on her sex life instead of the seeded topic.
I've neither defended nor condemned her sex life, because it's none of my business. I view her as a journalist ... period.
I'm not hung up on anything of the sort. I was simply pointing out an aspect of her character.
Logan's character, as you call it, is irrelevant to the seeded topic.
Exactly.

As seeder/author you can delete any comment you want that you think is off topic. Have at it.
He would say go and sin no more (and it seems she hasn’t in that regard) to Lara after after writing your sins in the sand to guilt shame you into dropping your accusatory stone. That’s WJWD.
Actually I can’t. That only applies in my groups. You’d delete me off your seeds here if you had that power.
I don't delete anyone off my seeds and rarely ever flag comments. I just don't take all this as seriously as you do.
I’m sure they will talk about any aspect about Lara Logan here except what she said in the seeded article.
She's also a whore.
That makes Kamela Harris a what then?
