Lara Logan (you know she used to be on CBS) discusses media bias with Mark Levin on Fox News

I count four times in this short article that Fox mentions CBS or 60 Minutes. I guess they were trying to establish her credibility or her former insider status.





Lara Logan, formerly of CBS, sounds off on media's treatment of Trump, other liberal bias

Former CBS News journalist Lara Logan says the mainstream media is not allowing President Trump to be “normalized” as the nation's leader and accused CNN, among others, of passing off opinions as fact in a Fox News interview set to air Sunday.

“I've never seen the press corps behave the way they do today," Logan told host Mark Levin on “Life, Liberty & Levin. "So, it stands out to me because it's a departure from what I've seen throughout the last three decades. There is something actually much more significant about what you're seeing happen with the White House press corps.”

Logan also told Levin that America’s academic institutions and newsrooms lacked political diversity.

“It's no secret that the vast majority of academic institutions in this country are liberal,” Logan said. “So what bothers me is that one political ideology dominates all of your academic, almost all, of your academic institutions. And that same political ideology dominates all of your newsrooms, almost all, of your newsrooms. I mean, let's face it, until Fox News in television. Where did you go if you weren't a liberally minded moderate, if you, like, if you wanted to hear an alternative point of view or a conservative point of view?”

Anything she says is just words and mean nothing to me whatsoever.

The fact that Fox News believes her at this point says more about them than it does the rest of the media

it's why trump can volunteer sensitive classified information to the Russian foreign minister in the middle of the Oval Office and we talk about it for two or three days, yet Hilary's emails still get mentioned every fifteen minutes.
