I’m sure Fox would love to have her.

Who is Lara Logan?

Not buying....

Never heard of her.  Why should I care?

Do you read what you post?

During this weekend’s podcast, Logan told conservative host Mike Ritland, a former Navy SEAL, that most media outlets skew liberal. “The media everywhere is mostly liberal, not just the U.S.,” she said, adding later that “This interview is professional suicide for me.”

A CBS News spokeswoman said Logan left the news unit at some point in 2018. Her last piece for CBS News appears to be a May segment for “60 Minutes” 

How does a podcast interview in February 2019 get someone fired in May of 2018?

This, is an example of trolling - not really having a coherent thought, but merely trying to evoke reactions.

So it’s just a coincidence she is fired now?.

A very accomplished journalist.  Old school in many ways.

 

[stlrams]

She was on 60 minutes and internationally know for reporting from violent areas..

 

[squistion]

Obscure in apparently many more ways.

 

[Sinn Fein]

So it’s just a coincidence she is fired now?.

She was fired last year.  I have no idea why she was let go - but I reasonably comfortable that she was not fired in 2018, for a podcast interview she was going to give in 2019.

 

[squistion]

She was on 60 minutes and internationally know for reporting from violent areas..

Unlike some folks here, I don't regularly watch 60 minutes.

 

[Sinn Fein]

As for who she is - most would probably know her as the journalist who was sexually assaulted in Egypt when reporting on Mubarak's resignation in 2011.

 

[stlrams]

She predicted the firing for speaking out,...

So, in 2019, she predicted that she would be fired in 2018?

Thats some Nostradamus-level #### right there.

She was let go in 2018...this has been explained to you several times.

Can you read?

Do you read?

I am not seeing much evidence of either. 

The article you just posted, includes:

The comments prompted Stelter and Calderone to respond, noting that Logan and CBS severed ties.

“Lara Logan stopped working at CBS last year, but right-wing websites keep making it sound like she's still there,” Stelter tweeted Tuesday after Logan’s initial interview. “I guess they didn't fact-check.”

A spokesperson for CBS confirmed to the Washington Examiner that Logan departed the network in 2018, a disclosure first reported by Variety following her interview with Ritland.

I think I see the problem:  Is 2019 before or after 2018?

 

[Shula-holic]

As for who she is - most would probably know her as the journalist who was sexually assaulted in Egypt when reporting on Mubarak's resignation in 2011.

This is what I remember her for.  I think she's had a lot of problems, physical and likely mental as well in the subsequent years.

Not according to article that I posted.. please provide link indicating she was terminated in by cbs in 2018,,

The article you just posted, includes:

When was she fired?  

 

[urbanhack]

Pin it!

 

[stlrams]

Lol.  Thank you for the laugh.  

God bless you for the effort. 

The effort that probably will get him suspended..  ok. 

 

[dkp993]

The effort that probably will get him suspended..  ok. 

You seriously must either be doing 1 of 2 things. 1 working really hard to be this obtuse or 2 purposefully be trolling (and this might be the first time I’ve ever claimed this here of anyone for the record). 

This is directly from the article you linked (as was pointed out multiple times previously)...

“A spokesperson for CBS confirmed to the Washington Examiner that Logan departed the network in 2018, a disclosure first reported by Variety following her interview with Ritland.”

She was not officially fired until a few days after her interview indicating media 90% liberal.   

 

[sho nuff]

So you think your own link is lying?

 

[dkp993]

She was not officially fired until a few days after her interview indicating media 90% liberal.   

So you’re saying she was fired from a job she left and wasn’t working for since last year. OK.

Again the first paragraph of the first article you posted...

“Lara Logan, the journalist who gained wider renown covering war-torn spots in the Middle East for CBS News, is no longer with the network and has not been for several months”

 

[Dedfin]

So, in 2019, she predicted that she would be fired in 2018?

Thats some Nostradamus-level #### right there.

time is a flat circle

 

[General Malaise]

Wow...

 

[Dedfin]

@stlrams maybe just share with us your complete thoughts on this. It might be more helpful for a conversation, if that's what you are looking for.

I'm not really sure what I was expecting when I clicked this thread, but things easily exceeded any expectations I could possibly have had.

Serious question here.  Let's pretend for a second that you understood how chronology worked and that Lara gave this interview before she was fired...wouldn't saying something so head-spinningly stupid as "90% of ALL media is liberal" publicly when you are employed as a news reporter for an objective news source like 60 Minutes be grounds for termination?  Not because of it being a scorching hot take but for being so ridiculously dumb.  90%????  Really? How is that even remotely possible?  Fox News, Breitbart, Sinclair, National Enquirer...are those not the media?  Or does she think they don't add up to 10%?

What a dumb thing to say.

Stlrams,  you got beaten worse then the larams

Hey now...

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

I’m sure Fox would love to have her.

Well they haven’t bitten in 9 months she’s been free.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

But maybe that’s what she was gunning for. It’s weird, I can’t remember a conservative story or take from Logan in all the time she was on the air.

 

[Joe Summer]

Does the podcast identify her as a current or former employee of CBS, or does it mention her employment status at all?

 

[General Malaise]

Word coming out now that they are going to go back in time and hire her. 

 

[wikkidpissah]

A courageous and enterprising reporter who i've been a fan of since she covered the fall of Baghdad for CBS. She has not been the same reporter after she was stripped & dragged thru the streets by crowds while covering the Arab spring riots in Cairo. She did a wonderful job hiding her politics, if she had any, for a long time but her husband - a mover in the right-wing ops world and is rumored to have been behind the Benghazi report that almost got her fired from 60 Minutes five years ago - appears to have radicalized her. I saw her on Hannity and she appeared to be looking for a home there. Unfortunate.

It is now Crystal clear how and why you continue to support Trump.

 

[[scooter]]

She was introduced as a "60 Minutes correspondent" during some speeches late last year, and this interview from February 1 identified her as a current CBS employee.

I predict “Green Book” will win best picture.

... and known to rock the microphone.

 

[Henry Ford]

She didn’t get fired for going after the liberal media. 

She went after the “liberal media” after she got fired. 

She’s an on-air correspondent. Go find anything she’s done for CBS in the last six months.  Literally anything. 

 

[Henry Ford]

She was introduced as a "60 Minutes correspondent" during some speeches late last year, and this interview from February 1 identified her as a current CBS employee.

It’s possible “Tulsa World” may not have thoroughly researched her employment.
