Artist Moni Ovadia was also present at the Michele Santoro kermesse hosted by the Ghinoe Theater in Rome last Tuesday and reiterated the thesis that the Azov battalion is “financed by the United States and NATO.” Ovadia quoted the words of a journalist named Lara Logan: a reporter who, according to some, fired “bombs of truth falling on the White House.” While she describes herself as an “independent thinker,” she has been described as “an advocate of insane conspiracy theories.”
The reporter’s beginnings at CBS
Initially, Lara Logan was considered a serious journalist: the journalist, originally from South Africa, had gained a good reputation as a reporter from dangerous war zones such as Afghanistan and Iraq since 2002. She quickly rose to fame working for New York broadcaster CBS during the Arab Spring. However, in 2011 he said that on the night Hosni Mubarak’s government was overthrown in Cairo, it was attacked by a group of men. They snatched her away from her producer and bodyguard to rape her. Everything would happen while he was preparing a report for the 60-minute program in Tahrir Square. Logan said she was brutally and persistently attacked by “over 200” men, resulting in beatings. After being rescued by a group of Egyptian civilians and soldiers, she was quickly brought back to the United States, where she denounced the global silence on the sexual violence afflicting journalists in conflict zones.
Doubts about Logan’s impartiality
2018 was the year the CBS bracket ended: Logan was forced off the network over accusations of being false in a report on the Benghazi attack in Libya, where it was the turn of US Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans Information disseminated to have hands of terrorists. Logan had attempted to offer an alternative version of responsibility for the attack: for the program he was working on, 60 Minutes, he had prepared a report based on testimony from a man named Dylan Davies. He had been introduced as the first Western eyewitness present at the time of the attack, but several red flags had been deliberately ignored by the reporter and her team.
Davies, who described his alleged experiences in a book under the pseudonym Morgan Jones, had actually told the show that he had disobeyed orders from the company he worked for – Blue Mountain – and that he had come from the villa where They had asked him to stay at the time of the attack. A report diametrically opposed to that released to the FBI and State Department, in which Davies had instead claimed he spent most of the night at his mansion and failed to reach the scene of the attack. The day after the service aired, Logan appeared on CBS This Morning and apologized for the mistake. But it was too late: Jeff Fager, president of CBS News and executive producer of 60 Minutes, decided nonetheless to fire the then-rising star of the network after completing an internal review that had uncovered a number of flaws in its mode operandi , from failure to verify sources to conflicts of interest.
Also kicked out by FoxNews
After the episode, Lara Logan decided to turn to conservative media, working briefly for Sinclair and then signing with Fox Nation. After she dr. Fauci was equated with Joseph Mengele, but Fox News also ousted her: “They don’t want independent thinkers. They don’t want people who follow the facts regardless of politics,” he commented after his so-called “expulsion.”
Logan’s “independent thinking” was expressed in November 2021 when the reporter on Fox News Primetime told the immunologist and White House adviser, “For the people [lei] it does not represent science. It represents Josef Mengele, Dr. Josef Mengele, the Nazi doctor who experimented on Jews during World War II and in concentration camps, and I speak on behalf of people around the world who are saying so.” A comment that had sparked outrage at the Auschwitz Memorial, the had commented: “It is shameful to exploit the tragedy of the people who fell victim to pseudo-medical criminal experiments in Auschwitz in a debate about vaccines, pandemics and people fighting to save lives. It is disrespectful to the victims and a sad symptom of moral and intellectual decay.”
Comments on the war in Ukraine
Logan has known and embraced many conspiracy theories: from the alleged ties between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the world of the occult to the “New World Order,” an elusive oligarchic and secretive power group whose only one dam it would be “Vladimir Putin”. It also has consistent that “every oncologist who studies bone cancer identifies hundreds of coronaviruses in our bones,” and accused the Biden administration of “hiding evidence of vaccine side effects,” citing alleged “biological weapons specialists and intelligence agents.” “. Finally, the attack on George Soros, who is accused of financial “puppeteer” organizations that will wipe out America. The journalist not only draws on the provocative rhetoric of the extreme right, but also cites conspiracy sites such as The gateway expertwhich sells itself as a “critic of the mainstream media”.
