CBS' Lara Logan Calls Out Media for Propaganda-Like Coverage: 'This Interview Is Professional Suicide for Me'

This is good. LANGUAGE!

We’ve become political activists, some could argue propagandists.”

Emmy Award-winning journalist Lara Logan talked about the mainstream media’s left-wing bias in a podcast called “Mike Drop,” hosted by retired Navy SEAL Mike Ritland.

Trump Calls ‘Rigged And Corrupt’ Media ‘The Enemy Of The People’ In All-Caps Tweet

“The media everywhere is mostly liberal, not just in the U.S. But in this country, 85% of journalists are registered Democrats – that’s just a fact. No one is registering Democrat when they’re really a Republican. So, the facts are on the side that you just stated: most journalists are Left, or liberal, or Democrat, or whatever word you wanna give it,” started in Logan.

“How do you know you’re being lied to? How do you know you’re being manipulated? How do you know there’s something not right with the coverage?” she asked. “When they simplify it all and there’s no gray. There’s no gray. It’s all one way. Well, life isn’t like that. If it doesn’t match real life, it’s probably not — there’s something wrong.”

Logan continued: “So, for example, all the coverage on Trump all the time is negative. … That’s distortion of the way things go in real life, because although the media has historically always been left-leaning, we’ve abandoned our pretense, or at least the effort, to be objective today.”

The journalist then gave an example of former New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson admitting as much: “[Abramson] says, we would do dozens of stories about Trump every single day, and every single one of them was negative. She said, we have become the anti-Trump paper of record. Well that’s not our job.”

“We’ve become political activists, and some could argue propagandists, and there’s some merit to that,” Logan bluntly added.

In other portions of the podcast Logan emphasized media bias, noting that there are few right-wing sources which must be sought out while the near entire mainstream media is overtly left-wing…

Logan has won Emmy Awards for her work in the field. The brave journalist was sexually assaulted by scores of men in a near-death attack while reporting in Egypt’s Tahrir Square on February 11, 2011. Logan broke her silence on the traumatic event on “60 Minutes” in April of that year, recalling the horrifying details. Amazingly, Logan went back to work soon after recuperating from the dramatic assault.
