Scott Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Lara Logan, formerly a CBS News reporter and more recently a frequent Fox News guest, went so off-field on former Fox News host Eric Bolling's Newsmax show Wednesday night, Newsmax said she is no longer welcome on the right-wing network. Bolling brought her on to talk about immigration, and she ended up "pushing QAnon tropes, invoking blood libel, and fear-mongering about a 'global cabal' planning to 'dilute the pool of patriots' in the United States," The Daily Beast reports. "Newsmax condemns in the strongest terms the reprehensible statements made by Lara Logan and her views do not reflect our network," Newsmax told The Daily Beast on Thursday. "We have no plans to interview her again." https://news.yahoo.com/newsmax-drops-lara-logan-comments-035014647.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MrJ2U Posted October 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2022 Newsmax and Axion are having money troubles due to the lack of viewership and being dropped from satellite and cable companies program lists. It was popular during the Trump era of politics. Not so much. I guess people tire of lies and constant conspiracy theories. It gets old fast.

Given that you have just made a psychological diagnosis of Mike Flynn, it's rather OTT to be casting aspersions at anyone doing so about other public figures. However, perhaps you have a psychiatric qualification and have carried out an investigation of Mike Flynn personally? Do tell. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't trying to get at causation, why Mike Flynn says what he says, which is what qualified psychologists and psychiastrists are trained for. Nor is lunatic a psychiatric phrase.

While the trauma can have lasting effects you are the one claiming "it started a spiral into conspiracy and eventual paranoia that has led to her current state."

Are they all rape survivors? Did something terrible happen to Michael Flynn that explains his current views? Was it abuse of Donald Trump that explains why he retweets QAnon posts?

We all make such assessments, if the past years have taught us anything it’s surely that we need to start taking the mental health of our political leaders more seriously. Or rather, paying it much more focussed attention. Edited October 22, 2022 by Chomper Higgot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) After leaving CBS, when you then get variously dumped by among the journalistic worst in the media world, that's saying something: "Logan left CBS in 2018. After her departure from CBS, Logan began to make wide-ranging claims on a variety of conspiracy theories regarding topics such as the AIDS virus or the Rothschild family. In 2019, she joined the Sinclair Broadcast Group, a conservative media company.[2] In January 2020, she joined Fox Nation, a subscription streaming service run by Fox News.[3] In March 2022, she said she had been "dumped" by the network.[4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lara_Logan Interesting to note above that she was able to sign on with Fox and Sinclair and appear on Newsmax AFTER her descent into looneyness. QUESTIONABLE SOURCE "We rate Newsmax Right Biased and Questionable based on the promotion of conspiracy theories and pseudoscience as well as numerous failed fact checks." https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/newsmax-bias-credibilty-reliability/ QUESTIONABLE SOURCE "Overall, we rate Fox News right biased based on editorial positions that align with the right and Questionable due to the promotion of propaganda, conspiracy theories, pseudoscience, the use of poor sources, and numerous false claims and failed fact checks." https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/fox-news-bias/ RIGHT BIAS Overall, we rate Sinclair Broadcast Group Right Biased based on political affiliation with the Republican Party and the direction of network news programming.

The sexual assault episode you reference occurred in 2011. Logan appears to have continued working for CBS until 2018. And her Wikipedia summary says her descent into looney land began AFTER she had left CBS, which would have been 7 years after the fact. "Logan left CBS in 2018. After her departure from CBS, Logan began to make wide-ranging claims on a variety of conspiracy theories regarding topics such as the AIDS virus or the Rothschild family." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lara_Logan Folks should read the full entry on her linked above. The things she's done and publicly stated since her departure from CBS are truly breathtakingly bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
