News from the Q's

Citizen Journalist

A decade ago Lara Logan was a respected journalist who had risen through the ranks at CBS from war correspondent to a correspondent for the "60 Minutes" news program, and ultimately to the network's Chief of Foreign Affairs.  Logan left CBS in 2013 after an in-house fact-check of her reporting on Benghazi revealed significant errors.  Since her departure from CBS, Logan has rebranded herself as a conservative pundit, and has been an on-air personality for Fox News.  Fox quit using Logan last year after she compared CDC Director Dr. Anthony Fauci to Josef Mengele, the Nazi doctor in World War II who performed medical experiments on prisoners in the German concentration camps.

Since leaving Fox, Logan seems to have become more steeped in the Q-Anon style of conspiracy theories. She has, for example, linked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to "satanic occult" practices and has praised Russian President Vladimir Putin and echoed Russian talking points regarding its invasion of Ukraine.   Another Logan claim was that Charles Darwin was employed by the Jewish Rothschild banking family to create his theory of evolution.

And while those departures from reality might seem alarming, particularly when they are uttered by someone who was once a respected journalist in the mainstream media, this past week Lara Logan went even further into the realm of horror fantasy.  In a appearance of the Eric Bolling program on Newsmax, a reliably conservative outlet, Lara Logan went off of the reality rails.

She began by elucidating on the mind of God, and the further she went with her thoughts, the stranger they got:

"God believes in sovereignty and national identity and the sanctity of family, and all the things that we've lived with from the beginning of time.   And he knows that the open border is Satan's way of taking control of the world through all of these people who are his stooges and servants.  And they may think they're going to become gods.   That's what they tell us . . . you know, the ones who want us eating insects, cockroaches, and that while they dine on the blood of children?  Those are the people, right?  They're not going to win.  They're not going to win."

(Notably she did not mention Hillary Clinton's alleged pedophile ring that meets in the basement of some New Jersey pizza parlor - but that was probably just an oversight!)

Newsmax announced that it "condemns in the strongest terms the reprehensible statements made by Lara Logan" and has "no plans to interview her again."

Out at CBS,  out at Fox, and now out at Newsmax.  About the only job opportunities left on this downward spiral would be White House Communications Director or Press Secretary in a second Trump administration, and hopefully those will not be options!

Hey Lara, when you find yourself deep in a hole, sometimes the best option is to quit digging.
