CBS’s Lara Logan on Media Bias: ‘Unless You Seek out Breitbart,’ You Won’t See the ‘Other Side’

Loading

Logan warned:

One ideological perspective on everything never leads to an open free diverse tolerant society. The more opinions and views … of everything that you have, the better off we all are. So creating one ideological position on everything throughout your universities, throughout academia, in school and college, in media, and everywhere else, that’s what concerns me. I don’t have to agree with everybody.

Logan added, “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, and there’s some merit to that.”

Logan cast Breitbart News as a useful barometer of “the other side” of news media:

This is the problem that I have. 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. Unless you seek out Breitbart on your computer, you’re probably not even going to know what the other side is saying.

The rest if at Breitbart

BELIEVE ALL WOMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May god damn all who never defended her.

I sent her a letter, (after her rape/sexual-destruction-by-moslem men) …with my wife, and children’s signature included, informing her that I am willing take a bullet for her any time she needed a big idiot to stand in front of her if she’s ever here. I included my “credentials”…

I got a response that she asked me not to share. My wife and kids will be in front when and if she’s ever near us. ALL of us willing. and more than able.

It’s too bad I (we) can’t help her with her “bosses”.

I guess my first reaction has to be, “Well, DUH!”

Even the liberal media admits it is liberal media. They really don’t care if we know it because they don’t care what we think; they just want to do their job of promoting Democrat propaganda. I cannot foresee the event that will turn the media around to begin reporting unbiased news; simply far too many “journalists” are rabid liberals who will do and say anything to promote the ideology.

Towards the end of the interview, Logan quipped, “This interview is professional suicide for me.”
It doesnt need to be that way a few women have actually achieved the dreams of being true feminists, Cheryl Attkinson is one, break away report the truth. CBS proved itself a poor place for true investigative journalists. Maybe others will join tired of activism, trying to outdo others in claptrap. Joe Friday has some great advice,

@kitt: There is no place in the liberal media for anyone that reports the facts based on the facts.

@Deplorable Me: Today there are other avenues.
Cheryl began her fight with podcasts, You tube broadcasts. Now has her own show on the fox channel. They cant be alone, there must be others with guts enough to cut the AP rinse wash repeat propaganda. All they need is someone who will go over the coals, to be the first.
I dont want to say I feel sorry for Lara she doesnt need that, she already is a survivor not a victim, anyone can be a victim, it takes bravery to try and fail, get up and never give up.
There are millions who crave truth. The entire Fox network was built on, we are not them, now they are becoming them.
