Dan Rather wasn’t fired _per se_ either. I think we can read between the lines here.

Close the door when you do that. People can see you. 😉

The media is far more sensitive to accusations of liberal bias than they are to accusations of conservative bias.

Are you saying Lara Logan is never coming back to CBS?

They don’t even let Dan Rather in the door anymore, and he was far more significant to them and far less guilty than Logan.

You’ll see her next on Fox, if at all.

Speaking of Dan Rather, I wonder when \*\*Shodan \*\*is going to show up to explain how the reporting of falsified evidence proves the incident itself never happened?

Lara Logan was raped while covering the 2011 Egyptian revolution.

That said, I just didn’t trust her, and I too think she was hired because “60 Minutes” felt they needed a pretty face. :rolleyes:
