How To Tell a Real Woman Foreign Reporter from a Fox News-Style One

Real- Christianne Amanpour:

 Fake-Lara Logan, of the recent Benghazi humiliation:

Get the difference?

Hint for the slow learners:  If you can't imagine Walter Cronkite wearing something like they are, be a tiny bit suspicious.

Bigger hint:  Real reporting is not done with your breasts.  Get it now?

Yeah but I like boobs, and reporters are allowed to wear evening dresses, and I don’t think Cronkite ever wore lipstick and earrings. At least not in public.

The Benghazi (yawn) thing was a journalistic stuff-up, but as you said in your previous post, not as egregious a crime as some of the Right wing propaganda that circulates apology-free.

You don’t have to be blonde and booby to be a shit reporter, either some of the time or all of the time. Let’s not play the FOX hire policy in reverse.

Magpie, I don't give a damn about Lara Logan and her breasts. My comment was about networks that distract from dishonest reporting by using cheap sexuality. This has been standard working procedure at Fox news for years, and now it is apparently becoming acceptable at CBS.

Just one more step in the hollowing out of the American media, until we are so ignorant and misled that we will believe any lie we are fed.

Boobs!

Okay childishness aside, I think it's clear that Logan is suffering from PTSD. Mostly, stemming from her sexual assault in Egypt but probably with contributing factors from her assignments in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Her neoconservative warmonger cheerleading and anger at Obama over Benghazi most likely stems from her mistreatment and anger over whats happened to her.

I'm saddened that events turned her this way. But, I'm not going to bash her because I think she needs help and the fact that a solid year of research and reporting did not help her catch the obvious lies being peddled to her.

Again, it is not Lara Logan that I am trying to comment about. It is one thing to sell consumer products by using sex, but it is another thing when these huge corporations start selling lies by clouding people's minds with irrelevant sexuality. Fox news has almost entirely given itself over to this sleazy behavior, but no rational person expects any more from them. Now, I guess, it is spreading to networks that people are expected to take seriously.

Logan and her associates claim to have worked for a year on a story which was demolished by independent observers in two weeks. And it was not a random story- it was a hit piece designed to damage Obama and Hillary Clinton. Am I supposed to believe that this is all some sort of accident? Sorry, in light of history, I can't swallow that.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination ...

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go...
