Lara Logan admits liberal media bias

[RoshawnMarkwees]

This is like the dog admitting that he shit in the living room.

Better than trying to hide it or deny culpability..

But when does the dog confess without first being caught?

 

[JoeB131]

No, this:

Reporting from Egypt and sexual assault

So getting felt up by an angry mob gives her credibility. I mean it explains why she's a raging Islamophobe now.

 

[gipper]

Lara Logan has no credibility? You clearly do not even know who she is.

I know exactly who she is. She's the person 60 Minutes fired for filing an inaccurate report on Benghazi

On 8 November 2013, Logan went on CBS This Morning to apologize for an inaccurate 60 Minutes report about the Benghazi attack, which had aired on 27 October. She indicated that an investigation uncovered that the source of much of her reporting was inaccurate and blamed it on Dylan Davies, manager of the local guard force at the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi. Logan said he lied about information but insisted they looked into his credibility and relied on such things as photographs and documents he supplied. In hindsight, Logan said they learned that the story told by Davies didn't match what he told federal investigators. "You know the most important thing to every person at 60 Minutes is the truth," she said in the on-air apology on the morning show. "And today the truth is we made a mistake. And that's ah ... that's very disappointing for any journalist. That's very disappointing for me." Logan went on to add, "Nobody likes to admit they made a mistake. But if you do, you have to stand up and take responsibility – and you have to say you were wrong. And in this case we were wrong."[26] She was criticized for this apology by Jeremy Holden of Media Matters for America and Michael Calderone of The Huffington Post, who saw the apology as inadequate.[27][28]

On 26 November 2013, Logan was forced to take a leave of absence due to the errors in the Benghazi report.[9][29] Al Ortiz, Executive Director of Standards and Practices for CBS News, wrote in a memo, "Logan made a speech in which she took a strong public position arguing that the U.S. Government was misrepresenting the threat from Al Qaeda, and urging actions that the U.S. should take in response to the Benghazi attack. From a CBS News Standards perspective, there is a conflict in taking a public position on the government’s handling of Benghazi and Al Qaeda, while continuing to report on the story."[30][31]

She was not fired for that.

She was not fired for that.

That was over five years ago. Dummy.

 

[JoeB131]

She was not fired for that.

Well, actually, she was... they kept her on staff, so they wouldn't have to admit how bad they effed up... but yeah, they fired her for that.

What's he "gotten away with" ? The MSM constantly rebukes him each time he exaggerates something. They beat him over the head all day long. What more do you want ?

If one other President had told lies in the frequency or magnitude of Trump, they would be hounded till they resign. With Trump, they just report it, shrug, and move on to the next lie

Obama told probably the biggest and most blatant lie ever issued by a US President when he told the American people that if Obamacare passed that if they liked their healthcare plan they could keep it...that if they liked their doctor they could keep on seeing them...and the MSM stood up and cheered!

98 percent of Americans kept their healthcare

The big LIE came from Republicans who fear mongered and told people everyone would have to give up their healthcare and be forced to take Obamacare

An estimated 4.7 million people received healthcare insurance cancellations after the Affordable Care Act was passed because their existing insurance plan didn't meet arbitrary standards imposed by liberals in order to force more people to enroll in ObamaCare. For those people...Barack Obama told a bald faced lie! He knew that would happen and deceived American citizens into believing it wouldn't!

4.7 million out of 330 million people
Less than two percent of the population had to change.

Meanwhile, Republican lies about Obamacare included Death Panels, everyone would have to take Obamacare, Government takeover and an economic collapse.

Who was closer to the truth?

So the 4.7 million people that Barack Obama deliberately lied to don't count? That's 4.7 MILLION people! Then there was the American Middle Class whom Barry promised a yearly savings of $2,500 on their health insurance premiums...another bald faced lie!

4.7 Million people lose their health coverage every year because they lose their jobs and have to take another... and that usually means they have to change doctors and shit.

What fucking amazes me is that you wingnuts were perfectly fine with what Obama proposed when Romney proposed it in 2008. Romney got more shit for being a Mormon than for proposing universal health care.

But two things happened.

1) The Negro got elected, and suddenly, Republicans hated their own idea.
2) The Negro got elected, and suddenly, the Religious Right was okay with Mormons. They eventually became okay with philanderers who paid off porn stars. The next guy could be sacrificing virgins to fucking C'Thulu and the Religious right would support him as long as he was white.

 

[martybegan]

God, I love Multi-Quote.... Saves so much time.

Lara Logan is talking about media bias you dummy. Not Trump.

I know your entire focus is on Trump(because you only consume DNCMSM news), but we are debating media bias.

Good lord TDS has poisoned your mind.

Lara Logan has no credibility talking about media bias, given she was FIRED FOR FILING INACCURATE REPORTS. And so was Dan Rather.. So the system worked.

Because those guys haven't gotten any traction in decades.

And there is a secular reason to oppose abortion, not just religious.

True, some of them are just misogynists..

Juan Roberts is a right wing shill? God, you're an idiot! LOL

The term I was looking for was "Pathetic Uncle Tom", but never mind.

He also hates anyone religious, especially Mormons.

Yes, cults started by Child Molesters tend to annoy me.

And with the typical ist/ic/ism response. That's all prog twats like you have.

I'm from Massachusetts, Joey! I understood the problems that MassCare was already experiencing under Romney's healthcare system and wanted nothing to do with an already floundering concept being implemented nationwide! It has nothing to do with Barry being black...it has everything to do with understanding what government run healthcare will mean for the nation as a whole!

 

[JoeB131]

And with the typical ist/ic/ism response. That's all prog twats like you have.

Sorry, you guys gave up any claim to really care about the babies when you started cutting food stamps to pay for rich people's tax cuts.

But yet you guys almost made him your nominee in 2008 and DID make him your nominee in 2012. It would seem that if you guys had any real complaint with Obamacare, you know, other than the black guy came up with it, then you wouldn't nominate the guy who came up with the beta version.

 

[AvgGuyIA]

Not a shock of course, as anyone with a brain knows there is a bias. It is a shock however to see this kind of admission.

60 Minutes' Lara Logan slams the 'mostly liberal' media for its coverage of Trump which she calls a 'distortion' of real life, as the award-winning CBS journalist admits she is 'committing professional suicide'

Famed 60 Minutes correspondent Lara Logan has broken ranks with mainstream media, claiming news outlets are now 'mostly liberal' and have become ‘propagandists’ while covering President Trump.

The South African-born foreign affairs journalist said that most of the American press is biased against Trump because journalists are overwhelmingly Democrats.

‘You say the media is mostly liberal,’ Logan told Mike Ritland on his Mike Drop podcast.

‘I agree with you. It’s true. Why can I say that with certainty?

Nonsense.

Logan expresses a subjective, baseless, and wrong opinion.

Disprove her. It's easy to throw up baseless claims.

Not knowing who she even was.

She is the journalist who was sexually attacked by your Muslim heroes overseas.

 

[AvgGuyIA]

Good for her.

I can think of three (3) people in my 18 years in that business who were conservative. I can picture their faces.

Baby steps. Somebody has to create, and then sustain, a momentum on this stuff.

Has it occurred to you that conservatives are largely too stupid to be journalists? You have to understand Science and History and stuff.

Heck Logan was a liberal until she wandered into the middle of a riot and some brown people copped a feel.

Scratch a "liberal" like you deep enough, Joey and you always reveal your racist, misogynist side! You on the left always pretend to be there for women and minorities but if any of them dare to have a different political view than yours you treat them with utter contempt! Lara Logan didn't wander into a riot...she was there covering it as a reporter and was sexually assaulted. You making fun of that pretty much sums up what a scummy person you are!

And reason why I have had him on ignore long before this.

it's amazing how similar responses from progs are, it's like your little minds are programmed with the same crap to spew out over and over.

 

[rightwinger]

Ignored?

They were all offered better policies and 20 million got policies who didn’t have coverage before

Define better, monkey brains.

5 million have lost coverage under Trump

4.7 million lost their coverage under King Barry and we all know his big promise, don't we. Obama's "keep your plan" promise labeled "Lie of the Year"

Big difference

4.7 million lost their policy and had to get another one under the Great Obama

5 million lost all coverage under Crooked Donnie

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Big difference

4.7 million lost their policy and had to get another one under the Great Obama

You mean "Great Liar" don't you?

There is ZERO poof that the people that lost their existing health coverage under their former health plans were able to afford the new much costlier coverage from Obama Scare.

It's reasonable to assume some could scrape up enough money and go without other necessities to afford the Obama socialized health scam. Perhaps they were able to get an Obama plan that offered a much lower level of coverage.

But there is no way in hell you can state that everyone did! That's what makes you a confirmed liar and ideologue.

 

[JoeB131]

Naw, Marty, it's just an observation about your priorities... You guys are all for "saving the babies' when a woman wants to abort her rapist's fetus, but man, the minute that kid is born, he's a welfare sucking dependent!

There is ZERO poof that the people that lost their existing health coverage under their former health plans were able to afford the new much costlier coverage from Obama Scare.

Actually, there is that the number of insured people increased. Now, you have guys like Racist From Cleveland who would rather let them amputate his arm with a rusty saw than take health insurance from the negro, but most people saw improvement in their policies

Same strawman argument over and over.

Same strawman argument over and over.

You mean the one you can never answer...

If you guys care so much about babies, why do you keep slashing programs for poor kids?
