CBS’s Lara Logan on Media Bias: ‘Unless You Seek Out Breitbart,’ You Won’t See the ‘Other Side’
Breitbart News ^ | 18 Feb 2019 | Robert Kraychik

Posted on 02/18/2019 10:54:35 AM PST by Texas Fossil

Lara Logan, foreign correspondent for CBS’s 60 Minutes, said Breitbart News offers “the other side” of news media relative to what she described as a mostly left-wing and partisan Democrat news landscape in the U.S. and abroad.

She offered her remarks in an interview published last Friday with the Mike Drop podcast, hosted by retired Navy SEAL Mike Ritland.

Ritland characterized U.S. news media as “absurdly left-leaning” and supportive of Democrats, further describing the status quo of American news media’s left-wing and partisan Democrat biases as a “huge f__ing problem” and “disaster for this country.”

Logan concurred, “I agree with that. That’s true.” She described U.S. and international news media as “mostly liberal,” adding, “most” journalists are left.

“The media everywhere is mostly liberal, not just the U.S.,” assessed Logan.

What I remember most is despicable assholes on this very forum saying she deserved it from those animals for being there in the first place covering the lie that was the Arab Spring

Without question one of this forums lowest points in my 20 years

Truly disgusting

In other news ..she’s a beautiful woman

Faux won’t want the inconvenience/distraction of a well-known white African-American woman working there.

“published last Friday with the Mike Drop podcast”

It’s a pity the only people who see it will be us choir members.

What p#ssed me off is her bosses sending her there in the first place knowing full well what might happen.

She’s a true jounalist. Need more like her.

You did not see me on that venue.

I knew what the Arab Spring really was, my Egyptian friends did too. I was waist deep helping them explain how bad Morsi and the MB were. And I was in the cheering section when General Sisi put Morsi and the top 1,000+ MB in prison.

I still have good friends there from that era.

Why are media people liberal-slanted?

That’s a very interesting question to me and I can’t come up with an obvious answer.

Could it start back when teenagers decide on a career and don’t want to do engineering?

Do the teenagers want to be in the entertainment industry and be sort of showoffs?

Do the teenagers come under the influence of messages they hear on the mainstream media, or how poised and beautiful they look.

Make no mistake, you could do a heck of a beauty contest with the female broadcasters.

“Could it start back when teenagers decide on a career and don’t want to do engineering?”

If I may tweak that:

Could it start back when teenagers decide on a career and find out they aren’t smart enough to do engineering or science?

“Why are media people liberal-slanted?”

I think it’s because they’re largely adult children, forever fourteen, in selfie mode, that found fields (journalism, media) where they could succeed and that fed their narcissism and their need to ‘make a difference in the world’ without doing actual labor.

Yeah, maybe FOX. I think she would be a great fit.

Although, she may have to get blonde highlights.

I remember that remark.

It was one of the site’s lows.

Most of these so called journalists are readers of what is put in front of them
They have no original ideas and can’t write
They tweet and copy whatever the pack says.

A ray of hope, every time someone in the media breaks ranks with the dissemblers & journalistic quacks!

We need to take up the President's recent clarion reminder that we "were born free," and must resist the demands of Socialists. I believe that the right kind of persistent effort might just burst the dam of coerced lies & intimidation.

What the Left offers, properly understood, is not in the true interest of anyone but scoundrel & demagogues. But too many people on our side want to answer senseless insults with insults back, without bothering to attack the actual idiotic fantasies that under pin Leftist thought processes.

Reason Or Compulsion?
