Newsmax on Thursday dropped Lara Logan over comments the she made about immigration while appearing on the network with host Eric Bolling.
Logan claimed, without producing any evidence, that she was made privy to a U.N. plan to &#8220;infiltrate 100 million illegal immigrants&#8221; into the U.S. and &#8220;dilute what they called the pool of patriots.&#8221;
&#8220;Newsmax condemns in the strongest terms the reprehensible statements made by Lara Logan and her views do not reflect our network,&#8221; the network <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/lara-logan-goes-full-qanon-spews-blood-libel-on-newsmax?ref=home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement to the Daily Beast on Thursday. &#8220;We have no plans to interview her again.&#8221;
During the Wednesday segment with Bolling, Logan <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/lara-logan-goes-full-qanon-spews-blood-libel-on-newsmax?ref=home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a>, &#8220;I spoke to a man who was actually holding the documents in his hand. He told me about it, right? He said he infiltrated the global cabal at the U.N. level, right? And one of the things that he was able to tell me about, from his own personal experience, what he witnessed himself was these documents that showed the time there is a plan, and this was several years ago.”
“The plan was to infiltrate 100 million illegal immigrants, and at that point, there were already 40 million, and these people would dilute what they called the pool of patriots,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Their words, right? And they would not be taught that America is a great country and trained to sing the national anthem with pride, and so on and so on. They would be taught all the negative things that we’re told about the U.S. today that our own children are taught.”
“I am a firm and solid and immovable believer in God,&#8221; the 51-year-old <a href="https://therightscoop.com/breaking-newsmax-drops-lara-logan-over-satan-remarks-no-plans-to-interview-her-again/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;And I believe that God wins. I believe that good is greater than evil, and I believe that the fallen angel otherwise known as Satan doesn’t get to prevail in this world.”
“God believes in sovereignty, a national identity, of the sanctity of family and all the things that we’ve lived with from the beginning of time,&#8221; Logan continued. &#8220;And he knows that the open border is Satan’s way of taking control of the world through all of these are people who are stooges and his servants. And they may think that they’re going to become gods. That’s what they tell us. You’ve all known <a href="https://www.weforum.org/people/yuval-noah-harari" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yuval Noah Harari</a> and all the rest of them at the World Economic Forum. You know, the ones who want us eating insects, cockroaches, and that while they dine on the blood of children? Those are the people, right? They’re not gonna win. They’re not going to win.”
Last November, Logan was reportedly <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/media/3262465-lara-logan-says-she-was-pushed-out-at-fox-news/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pushed out</a> at Fox News over comments she made comparing Dr. Anthony Fauci to infamous Nazi doctor Josef Mengele.
One month later, the Emmy Award-winning journalist announced she would be leaving Big Tech platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, because she can no longer “in good conscience contribute to platforms who glorify &amp; enrich themselves at the expense of children who they knowingly exploit.”
“I am leaving Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc. I cannot in good conscience contribute to platforms who glorify &amp; enrich themselves at the expense of children who they knowingly exploit,” she wrote. “Discovering recently that animals are sexually abused/exploited along [with] children was a shock.”
“I had no idea such a depraved ideology was being pushed on this scale or the insidious ways the worst of humanity is normalized, promoted &amp; quietly glorified by the same platforms who censor free speech from truckers, doctors, naturalists, vaccine injured &amp; so on,” Logan added. “It’s wrong.”
In recent years, Big Tech companies like those highlighted by Logan have <a href="https://poole.ncsu.edu/thought-leadership/article/big-techs-dark-side-killer-apps-abs-and-acqs/">taken heat</a> over allegedly platforming explicit content of children and being a hotbed for sex trafficking.
Logan, though, has returned to Twitter, and has posted as recently as October 20.

Newsmax Drops Journalist Lara Logan Over Immigration Remarks

Journalist Lara Logan ripped first lady Jill Biden, <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/tv/lara-logan-trashes-jill-biden-for-lying-about-her-husbands-dementia-truly-reprehensible-and-disgusting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">calling her out</a> and accusing her of covering up what Logan called President Biden’s “dementia.”
Logan was responding to a New York Times <a href="//2C096BA2-6640-434B-8461-AF97178AE9A8/v" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opinion piece</a> by a member of their editorial board that mocked Republican candidates having their wives act as major parts of their campaigns.
“The notion that there is some meaningful insight about a candidate to be had from his spouse praising him in ads or defending him in interviews or simply appearing at his campaign events is weak at best. Gov. Ron DeSantis’s wife, Casey, may genuinely believe he’s the cat’s pajamas; that doesn’t change the guy’s disturbing authoritarian Trumpiness,” Michelle Cottle wrote.
Asked about the NYT piece by Newsmax’s Eric Bolling, Logan savaged Jill Biden.
“I believe in following the facts and the truth – and finding the principles – and there’s a principle here in what you’re talking about, right? Which is that you’re never going to see the New York Times doing an article about the fact that Jill Biden is propping up her husband,” she snapped.
“I mean, if you want to know something that is truly reprehensible and disgusting, here is this woman who knows that her husband has dementia, and yet she’s lying to the whole country,” she declared. “She’s lying to her own base, lying to her own supporters. I mean, if there’s anything nauseating about what anyone’s spouse is doing, it’s really quite extraordinary to watch this woman trying to cover up with for the absolute embarrassment that passes for a cognizant human being in the president today.”
At the end of her diatribe, Cottle wrote, “Women who value the ability to control their own bodies should make clear at the polls that they are too smart to fall for this lazy whitewashing.”
Logan commented that the Times piece arose out of desperation at the GOP’s chances in November. She asserted, “This article is very small. We’ve become very, very small across the New York Times and much of the media. To me, it’s really an act of desperation, because the vast majority of people in this country see through these tactics, right? They know it’s not nice to talk about people like that in your personal life yet alone in the newspapers.”

Notably, in May, Twitter tried to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/twitter-tries-to-dismiss-another-child-porn-case-citing-section-230-even-if-allegations-true-were-not-liable?utm_source=facebook&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=dwbrand&amp;fbclid=IwAR37F57nDaMVpirufTAInmFlA05TmQDUOlSDAYfNBLrH84boEPypxgeFH3I">dismiss</a> a child pornography lawsuit filed against the company by an underaged victim, citing outlined protections under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act — a controversial clause that has protected Big Tech from viewpoint discrimination and, in this case, they claim, child pornography being hosting on their platforms.
In the court filing, Twitter argued that even if “all” of the minors’ “allegations” are accepted “as true, there is no legal basis for holding Twitter liable for the Perpetrators’ despicable acts.”
In another <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sex-trafficking-survivor-challenges-dorsey-on-heels-of-lawsuit">lawsuit</a> against Twitter, a young boy who was solicited and recruited for sex trafficking, known as John Doe #1, alleges that he had to endure his own sexual abuse material being promoted on Twitter, even after attempts were made to remove the content.
Logan linked to a YouTube video outlining the fall of famed YouTuber Shane Dawson, whose content allegedly included pedophilia jokes and racism, among other controversial subjects. &#8220;Watch this for some insight into how many are complicit/profiting,&#8221; Logan said.
&#8220;For now I will be on Gettr, Locals &amp; any platform that prioritizes the rights of children, animals, free speech &amp; basic human decency,&#8221; she added.

On Sunday, the day after the twentieth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks launched by the terrorist group al Qaeda that murdered roughly 3,000 Americans, famed journalist Lara Logan slammed Twitter for permitting the Taliban, which America attacked in 2001 for harboring al-Qaeda, to freely use Twitter while Twitter censored Americans.
Along with a video showing Anas Haqqani, a leader of the Haqqani network, she tweeted: “Twitter has no problem censoring Americans &amp; giving a platform to the Haqqani network that has killed thousands of Afghan civilians and more than 10 000 Afghan soldiers &amp; policemen — by conservative estimates. Has America surrendered to tyranny in all forms?”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
“The Haqqani network is blamed for some of the deadliest and most shocking attacks in Afghanistan during the last two decades. They have been designated a foreign terrorist group by the United States, and are also under United Nations sanctions,” <a href="https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20210821-the-haqqani-network-afghanistan-s-most-feared-militants">France 24</a> noted, adding, “The Haqqanis have a reputation for frequently using suicide bombers &#8212; including drivers in cars and trucks packed with huge amounts of explosives &#8212; and have demonstrated the ability to carry out complex, high-casualty assaults on major targets including military installations and embassies.”
Prior to the 9/11 attacks, in October 1999, the United Nations Security Council adopted <a href="https://www.un.org/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=S/RES/1267(1999)">Resolution 1267</a>, which created the al-Qaeda and Taliban Sanctions Committee, linking the two groups as terrorist entities. The resolution stated:
<blockquote>Strongly condemning the continuing use of Afghan territory, especially areas controlled by the Taliban, for the sheltering and training of terrorists and planning of terrorist acts, and reaffirming its conviction that the suppression of international terrorism is essential for the maintenance of international peace and security. Deploring the fact that the Taliban continues to provide safe haven to Usama bin Laden and to allow him and others associated with him to operate a network of terrorist training camps from Taliban-controlled territory and to use Afghanistan as a base from which to sponsor international terrorist operations &#8230;
Noting the indictment of Usama bin Laden and his associates by the UnitedStates of America for, inter alia, the 7 August 1998 bombings of the UnitedStates embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and forconspiring to kill American nationals outside the United States, and noting alsothe request of the United States of America to the Taliban to surrender them fortrial (S/1999/1021). Determining that the failure of the Taliban authorities to respond to the demands in paragraph 13 of resolution 1214 (1998) constitutes a threat tointernational peace and security. …
Demands that the Taliban turn over Usama bin Laden without further delay to appropriate authorities in a country where he has been indicted, or to appropriate authorities in a country where he will be returned to such a country, or to appropriate authorities in a country where he will be arrested and effectively brought to justice &#8230;</blockquote>
After the 9/11 attacks, in October 2001, the U.S. launched air strikes on al-Qaeda and Taliban forces in Afghanistan.
The 9/11 Memorial &amp; Museum <a href="https://www.911memorial.org/911-faqs">states</a>:
<blockquote>On September 20, 2001, in a speech to a joint session of Congress, former President George W. Bush asserted: “Any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime.” No distinction was made between a harboring state and the terrorists it was harboring. The U.S. government insisted that the Taliban immediately hand over the terrorists and close the training camps or face an attack from the United States. When they refused, “Operation Enduring Freedom” was launched on October 7, 2001, less than a month after the attacks of 9/11.</blockquote>
The <a href="https://www.cfr.org/timeline/us-war-afghanistan">Council on Foreign Relations</a> recalled how successful the initial phase of the war was, “The Taliban regime unravels rapidly after its loss at Mazar-e-Sharif on November 9, 2001, to forces loyal to Abdul Rashid Dostum, an ethnic Uzbek military leader. Over the next week Taliban strongholds crumble after coalition and Northern Alliance offensives on Taloqan (11/11), Bamiyan (11/11), Herat (11/12), Kabul (11/13), and Jalalabad (11/14).”

Lara Logan Blasts Twitter For Censoring Americans While Taliban Uses It: ‘Has America Surrendered To Tyranny In All Forms?’

Taliban

Twitter

Fox Nation host and former chief foreign affairs correspondent for CBS News, Lara Logan, has repeatedly blasted President Joe Biden and his administration over the botched, fatal withdrawal from Afghanistan.
&#8220;What President Biden is doing is basically condemning American citizens to death in Afghanistan,&#8221; Logan <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/lara-logan-biden-condemning-american-citizens-death">said</a> last week on Fox News airwaves. &#8220;He is condemning our American allies to death in Afghanistan … you start to feel like you are in the twilight zone.&#8221;
&#8220;Can you imagine the deputy commander of the Taliban, the head of the Haqqani Network, Siraj Haqqani,&#8221; she emphasized. &#8220;They are the Afghan al Qaeda. He swore allegiance, loyalty to Usama bin Laden. Haqqani&#8217;s manifesto, that he released more than a decade ago, is exactly al Qaeda’s manifesto.&#8221;
After Biden’s telegraphed withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Taliban took over the country’s capital. Under Taliban rule, women will face a &#8220;long low death,&#8221; Logan said, adding that the &#8220;lucky&#8221; women in Afghanistan will be &#8220;slaughtered quickly.&#8221;
&#8220;It is a long slow death,&#8221; the journalist said. &#8220;If you&#8217;re unlucky. If you&#8217;re lucky, you&#8217;ll just be slaughtered quickly, because that is what life is like for women under the Taliban, a long slow death&#8221;
Holding back tears, Logan continued, &#8220;It is the end of freedom, it is the end of possibility. It is the end of hope. It is the end of light.&#8221;
The former &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; correspondent said many women will be forced into sex slavery and denied basic human rights.
&#8220;It is the beginning of a life of possibly sexual slavery, which is a nice way of saying being raped everyday by a man you don’t love,&#8221; she explained. &#8220;Being denied the ability to love. You are denied the ability to have your own family. To have privacy. To have a dream.&#8221;
&#8220;It is the end of everything that is good in us.&#8221;
Logan discussed her firsthand experience as a journalist embedded with the Taliban. &#8220;Everything that was difficult about life in Afghanistan under war became much more difficult under the Taliban,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Women were not allowed to work, attend school or leave their homes without a male presence.&#8221;
&#8220;Women were beaten if their belt buckles were too shiny,&#8221; detailed Logan. &#8220;Girls were not fed in the orphanages until the boys have been fed—and there wasn’t enough food for the boys. On top of that, there is no joy in tyranny and rule by terror.&#8221;
In recent days, spokesmen for the Taliban have claimed they will give women rights and fight progressive causes like climate change. Logan called the promises mere &#8220;propaganda talking points as agreed upon by its political masters and backers.&#8221;
&#8220;What they’re not saying is will they allow women to work, will they allow women to be treated by a male doctor, will they allow young girls to go to high school,&#8221; she explained. &#8220;No, no is the answer. &#8230; They may hang a few token women out there to pretend to the world that something has changed, but I can promise you, it hasn’t.&#8221;
Logan also recalled a firsthand experience she had with a Taliban leader that exemplified the Taliban&#8217;s disdain for women, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/world/taliban-women-lara-logan">reported</a>:
<blockquote>Logan recounted an interview she was conducting with a Taliban commander in the back of a car. She said he took her on a &#8220;guilt trip&#8221; as he described how hard his life had been.
&#8220;There was the human part of my heart that was feeling a little bit guilty, a little bit sad, a little bit of pain,&#8221; Logan told Fox News.
&#8220;Then, he looked through the window of the car and everything about this man changed,&#8221; she said. It was &#8220;instant, it was this deep rooted anger and hatred, and he became a completely different person.&#8221;
&#8220;He was looking through the window of the car and there were two Afghan women waiting to cross the road and they had the full hijab on but their faces were not covered by the burka,&#8221; Logan told Fox News. He said it was &#8220;disgusting.&#8221;
Logan recounted how the Taliban commander began &#8220;spewing vitriol, hatred&#8221; and told her &#8220;if you were not here right now, I would kill those women myself.&#8221;
&#8220;They have dishonored me, they have dishonored Allah, they have dishonored the Taliban, they have dishonored the Islamic Emirate, I am filthy right now,&#8221; the Taliban commander told Logan.</blockquote>

Lara Logan Blasts Biden, Says Women Will Suffer ‘Long Slow Death’ Under Taliban

Afghanistan

On Thursday, award-winning investigative journalist Lara Logan fired off a challenge to the mainstream media regarding the United States’ pullout from Afghanistan, stating that the Haqqani network — which <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/un-report-admitted-in-april-taliban-and-al-qaeda-remain-closely-aligned-and-show-no-indication-of-breaking-ties'">according to the United Nations</a> is comprised of “the Taliban’s most combat-ready forces” — had “taken over Afghan intel services,” allowing the Taliban to know “which houses to hit in first 12 hrs, almost imposs in a city w/o exact addresses.”
She continued, “US media needs to ask why US/Intel/NSA allowed sensitive mil equipment to be transported to Pakistan w/o doing anything? Why is the Biden admin not acknowledging the Afghan govt &#8211; VP Amrullah Saleh hasn’t surrendered, announced he’s acting Pres under constitution US helped draft.”
Logan began her short Twitter thread by writing, “The real issue in Afghanistan is what happens next because right now Haqqani network/Pakistani ISI has taken over Afghan intel services, can blackmail/target Afghans for years. Taliban knew precisely which houses to hit in first 12 hrs, almost imposs in a city w/o exact addresses.”
She continued, “The greatest gift to the Taliban from US Pres Envoy Khalilzad was US leaving Bagram Air base instantly giving up Afghan air space, signals Intel etc. Nothing you see now would be happening if the US had not done that -demanded by Taliban, opposed by US mil, overruled by State Dep.”
“US media needs to ask why US/Intel/NSA allowed sensitive mil equipment to be transported to Pakistan w/o doing anything?” she asked. “Why is the Biden admin not acknowledging the Afghan govt — VP Amrullah Saleh hasn’t surrendered, announced he’s acting Pres under constitution US helped draft.”

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.”
Turning to media coverage of former President Trump, Logan noted, “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. … We’ve become political activists, and some could argue propagandists…”
“The problem is the weight of all these organizations on one side of the political spectrum,” she continued. “When you turn on your computer, or you walk past the TV, or you see a newspaper headline in the grocery store, if they’re all saying the same thing, the weight of that convinces you that it’s true. You don’t question it, because everyone is saying it.”

Lara Logan Challenges Media To Ask Certain Questions About Afghanistan

Mainstream Media

Journalist Lara Logan blasted far-left Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender on Monday after Bender said that people who would look to call the police if their homes are broken into by criminals come from a &#8220;place of privilege.&#8221;
“Do you understand that the word, dismantle, or police-free also makes some people nervous, for instance?” CNN’s Alisyn Camerota said earlier in the day during an interview with Bender. “What if in the middle of night, my home is broken into? Who do I call?”
“Yes, I mean, hear that loud and clear from a lot of my neighbors,” Bender <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-minneapolis-city-council-president-asked-who-to-call-if-someone-breaks-into-your-house-after-dismantling-police-says-step-back-check-your-privileg">responded</a>. “And I know — and myself, too, and I know that that comes from a place of privilege. Because for those of us for whom the system is working, I think we need to step back and imagine what it would feel like to already live in that reality where calling the police may mean more harm is done.”
Logan responded on Twitter to a clip of the interaction that went viral, writing: &#8220;I remember when I was being gang-raped [and] beaten by a mob in Egypt, would have been great to have a police force to call then. Would that have been my white privilege talking? I’ve stood against racism all my life, don’t have a racist bone in my body. My heart breaks.&#8221;
&#8220;My heart breaks for every victim of racial injustice,&#8221; Logan continued. &#8220;And for every person, including police, killed by the mob of anarchists &amp; their powerful political backers. How long before they come for me? No idea. But there is only one truth. That’s all we have.&#8221;

In a separate tweet a short time later, Logan wrote: &#8220;Also what I remember from that mob in Egypt — it only took a few trained, paid instigators to turn a celebratory crowd into a frenzy. This is what Antifa does best — they provoke to get the reaction that serves their political agenda. Not for racial justice — that’s a front.&#8221;

Bender’s remarks came after “the city’s first survey of property damage shows that nearly 1,000 commercial properties in Minneapolis were damaged during the riots, including 52 businesses that were completely destroyed and 30 other locations that sustained severe damage,” The Star Tribune <a href="https://www.startribune.com/manufacturer-that-burned-during-mpls-riots-plans-to-move-out-of-the-city/571104922/">reported</a>. “Owners and insurance experts estimate the costs of the damage could exceed $500 million. That would make the Twin Cities riots the second-costliest civil disturbance in U.S. history, trailing only those in Los Angeles in 1992, which were also sparked by racial tensions with police and had $1.4 billion in damages in today’s dollars.”

42nd Annual Gracie Awards – Inside

Journalist Who Was Gang Raped Unloads On Minneapolis City Council President Over ‘Privilege’ Remarks

Defund The Police

Minneapolis

Police

Riots

In an upcoming four-episode special for FOX Nation&#8217;s &#8220;Lara Logan Has No Agenda,&#8221; Emmy Award-winning journalist Lara Logan takes a deep dive into the untold reality of war and its aftermath — the good, the bad, and the ugly.
In &#8220;<a href="https://video.foxnews.com/v/6158326060001#sp=show-clips">America&#8217;s Veterans</a>,&#8221; Logan seeks to uncover the truths and realities all too often bypassed by the mainstream media, including what war zones actually look like today, veteran struggles and their success stories, and a behind the scenes look at what the creed &#8220;leave no man behind&#8221; really means.
Part one of the series, &#8220;A Warrior&#8217;s Faith,&#8221; drops Friday on FOX Nation, and the rest of the episodes — &#8220;A Hot Cup of Freedom,&#8221; &#8220;The Price We Pay,&#8221; and &#8220;Leave No One Behind&#8221; — air Monday through Wednesday.
The special is a long time coming for the former &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; journalist and war correspondent.
&#8220;This idea came out of years of talking to veterans back here in the U.S. after these wars, where a lot of them were frustrated by the coverage,&#8221; Logan explained, noting that the incomplete story breeds division and misunderstanding.
&#8220;As a journalist, I&#8217;ve always looked to those areas,&#8221; she said. “I&#8217;m always interested in the full truth and the full context.&#8221;
In part one of the series, &#8220;A Warrior&#8217;s Faith,&#8221; Logan sheds light on what she&#8217;s dubbed as modern &#8220;invisible wars,&#8221; emphasizing the lack of on-the-ground media coverage.
Logan speaks with Dave Eubank, director of the Free Burma Rangers, a multi-ethnic humanitarian organization providing aid and supplies to war zones, and delves into their assistance in the 2017 military operation Battle for Mosul to recapture Iraq’s second largest city from the Islamic State.
Showing the on-the-ground reality is vital, explained Logan, because, ultimately, it leaves Washington less room to &#8220;spin.&#8221;
&#8220;We&#8217;ve had no real understanding for years now,&#8221; she said. &#8220;My concern is, if you don&#8217;t see it and you don&#8217;t see firsthand on the ground, you&#8217;re more susceptible to spin.&#8221;
As an example of the dwindling coverage from the media, Logan noted then-President Barack Obama in 2014 referring to ISIS as a &#8220;<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/International/isis-years-jv-team-international-killers/story?id=40214844">JV team</a>&#8221; and claiming intelligence let him down. At the time, Obama was able to say something so off-base with reality and get away with it, at least in part.
&#8220;For example, when Obama said that ISIS was a &#8216;JV team&#8217; and intelligence agencies had let him down,&#8221; Logan told The Daily Wire, &#8220;Well, if there had been journalists on the ground covering ISIS, we would all have been showing how untrue that was. People would have seen it; he wouldn&#8217;t have been able to say it.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m not trying to shape the policy in one direction or the other; I&#8217;m tying to give people an understanding of what&#8217;s really happening,&#8221; she emphasized.
Logan added that Lt. Gen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-doj-dropping-criminal-case-against-michael-flynn">Michael Flynn</a> testified in early 2015 that ISIS had taken Fallujah and were going to take more territory, significant territory, and they were going to do it quickly. &#8220;If journalists had been covering theses stories properly and had been on the ground and had been seeing it, they would have known and followed what Mike Flynn said. But, no, what happens is you have Obama go on TV and say, &#8216;Oh, I had no idea, my intelligence agencies didn&#8217;t tell me.&#8217; That&#8217;s just not true.&#8221;
&#8220;I don&#8217;t mean to make this personal against Obama,&#8221; the journalist explained. &#8220;It&#8217;s just an example that comes to mind.&#8221;
There hasn&#8217;t been coverage of the wars &#8220;for years,&#8221; Logan said. &#8220;It started in the Obama years – we were discouraged from investing any time in Afghanistan because they wanted out. They don&#8217;t want journalists doing the moving stories about what&#8217;s happening to Afghans.&#8221;
And currently, she said, &#8220;Afghanistan is astonishing, it&#8217;s just astonishing. We&#8217;ve made a peace deal with the Taliban. &#8230; The Taliban&#8217;s violence has gone up, it has not gone down.&#8221;
Logan, who now has children, still goes to the war zones to provide coverage when she can, but doesn&#8217;t live there as she used to. If she didn&#8217;t have children, she said, she&#8217;d still live there, because that&#8217;s how important she feels the coverage is for the American people.
In part two, &#8220;A Hot Cup of Freedom,&#8221; Logan transitions to explore a major veteran success story: <a href="https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/pages/the-ben-shapiro-show">Black Rifle Coffee</a> in Salt Lake City, Utah. The flourishing company isn&#8217;t just veteran-owned, but makes it a point to help other veterans, building their culture and community.
&#8220;We only tell one part of the story, and we tell that story over and over and over again,&#8221; Logan said. &#8220;And there&#8217;s nothing wrong with that, because it&#8217;s real and it&#8217;s part of the story. But there&#8217;s more to veterans who come back from war than just the guy who is broken and shattered and needs to be saved and helped. There are many veterans who come back and do transition very successfully.&#8221;
Veterans have told Logan they feel they are &#8220;just defined by injury and PTSD,&#8221; she said. &#8220;A lot of veterans get the feeling that people think every vet is a basketcase just waiting to do the next mass shooting. The first question journalists ask with these mass shooting is, &#8216;Oh, was he in the military? Check his military records.'&#8221;
On the flip side, explained Logan, the struggle of returning veterans – an estimated 22 veterans commit suicide a day in the U.S. – is of course real and cannot be ignored.
In episode three, &#8220;The Price We Pay,&#8221; Logan speaks with a group of California veterans who use community and surfing to cope with their injuries, both physical and mental. She also interviews Marine Corps veteran and documentarian Dustin Jones to share his story and discuss the increasing veteran suicide rate.
Logan noted to The Daily Wire that both purpose and community are vital for our returning veterans. &#8220;Everyone wants to be understood,&#8221; she explained, noting that there is &#8220;a profound sense of brotherhood and family&#8221; with our veterans. &#8220;The veterans who feel isolated are more susceptible to suicide.&#8221;
In part four of the series, &#8220;Leave No One Behind,&#8221; Logan is joined by a musician who wrote about the Angel Flights of those killed overseas, a Vietnam veteran&#8217;s mission to fulfill our nation&#8217;s promise, and a son searching for his missing military father.
The segment was especially moving to Logan, who, as a war correspondent, never missed Angel Flight boarding if she knew about it. The deceased have their units surrounding them to see them off, but Logan felt a responsibility to be there to represent the families who couldn&#8217;t attend.
&#8220;We start with the song &#8216;Angel Flight,&#8217; and that was the song I heard years ago, and it really moved me, because it&#8217;s the song about the pilots who fly those planes – it&#8217;s called an &#8216;Angel Flight&#8217; when you bring a soldier&#8217;s body home from the battlefield,&#8221; Logan explained to The Daily Wire. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been to many funerals for soldiers, sometimes for whom I&#8217;ve never met, and usually didn&#8217;t know very well at all. And I went because I couldn&#8217;t bear the thought of someone&#8217;s child leaving, being gone, and their parents, their family, not being able to be there.&#8221;
&#8220;Of course they had their unit and their teammates around them, but I used to go for the families,&#8221; she said. &#8220;If there was one out there that was happening and I was around, I never missed.&#8221;
&#8220;So when I heard the song &#8216;Angel flight,&#8217; it was such a thing for me because I&#8217;ve seen so many bodies loaded onto that flight, on the ground. And it&#8217;s so moving to think of those pilots and those crews aboard, how seriously they take that mission.&#8221;
&#8220;And I think the thing in there that I wrote, that really came from my heart and soul was, &#8216;When it happens to you, the one thing you know is there&#8217;s an Angel Flight that&#8217;s coming to take you home, that you can count on, and that your family can count on,'&#8221; Logan added. &#8220;To me, that speaks a lot about who we are as people in this country, and also in the military itself.&#8221;

‘I’m Interested In The Full Truth’: Lara Logan Special Takes Deep Dive Into Reality Of War, Veteran Success Stories

Veterans

Emmy Award-winning journalist Lara Logan has secured a deal with Fox News&#8217; streaming service Fox Nation, a report from <a href="https://variety.com/2019/digital/news/lara-logan-fox-nation-documentary-fox-news-1203407885/">Variety</a> published Monday revealed.
Logan, the former chief foreign affairs correspondent for CBS News and a correspondent for “60 Minutes,&#8221; will be hosting a four-part docuseries called &#8220;No Agenda&#8221; for the streaming service, which is set to debut  in January of 2020.
The docuseries &#8220;will feature four 90-minute installments, each comprised of four episodes that will be released simultaneously on the platform,&#8221; Variety reported. &#8220;Logan will focus on four topics: media bias, immigration, socialism and veterans. She is expected to report from &#8216;the front lines of America’s political and ideological war zones and dive into a number of hot-button issues with on-the-ground coverage and expert interviews,&#8217; according to a description.&#8221;
“This series is what American people tell me they want everywhere I go &#8212; honest, independent journalism that will not bow to propagandists and political operatives who use the media as a weapon to silence, punish and bully,” Logan said in a statement.
In February, Logan made headlines for calling out the mainstream media for dropping even the pretense of being objective, likening some journalists to “activists” and “propogandists.”
“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,&#8221; Logan <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/propagandists-emmy-award-winning-journalist-lara-amanda-prestigiacomo">told</a> “<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/mike-drop/id1346234726?mt=2#episodeGuid=c5cadfbd9cd84d269f96d77cc647ef89">Mike Drop</a>&#8221; podcast host Mike Ritland, a retired Navy SEAL
“How do you know you’re being lied to?&#8221; Logan continued blasting the mainstream media. &#8220;How do you know you’re being manipulated? How do you know there’s something not right with the coverage? 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.”
Regarding President Donald Trump, Logan noted that nearly all coverage on POTUS is negative. &#8220;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,&#8221; she said.
“We’ve become political activists, and some could argue propagandists, and there’s some merit to that,” Logan bluntly added.
During the interview, the journalist also commented on Fox News being one of the only news sources on the Right.
&#8220;This is the problem that I have: There’s one Fox,&#8221; she said. &#8220;There’s one Fox and there’s many, many, many more organizations on the Left. … The problem is the weight of all these organizations on one side of the political spectrum. When you turn on your computer, or you walk past the TV, or you see a newspaper headline in the grocery store, if they’re all saying the same thing, the weight of that convinces you that it’s true. You don’t question it, because everyone is saying it. And unless you seek out Breitbart on your computer, you’re probably not even going to know what the other side is saying.&#8221;
Concluding the fiery podcast, Logan told Ritland: &#8220;This interview is professional suicide for me.&#8221;
The journalist has won Emmy Awards for her work in the field, as previously noted by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/propagandists-emmy-award-winning-journalist-lara-amanda-prestigiacomo">The Daily Wire</a>. Logan was sexually assaulted by scores of men in a near-death attack while reporting in Egypt’s Tahrir Square on February 11, 2011. Logan <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO12X1nhzzk&amp;app=desktop">broke her silence</a> on the traumatic event on “60 Minutes” in April of that year, recalling the horrifying details. Logan went back to reporting soon after recuperating from the dramatic assault.
