CBS News Correspondent: "I'd blow my brains out"

[@eziekial101]

insane to see how she has evolved from this to being a qanon person today

[@mckernan603]

She was weird the whole time, all she did was submit fawning segments about the generals

[@twist18x]

God bless you. We love your work and know our hearts are with you as you recover.

[@your_royal_highness]

Watching this now, in 2024, I still wonder what the f happened to this woman? I think she was terribly traumatized by her assault in Egypt but she went wayyyyy down the rabbit hole of conspiracy crap.

[@xsnw]

I applaud her. We need more people that have first-hand experience like her to open our eyes to the situation.

[@MOBROOKS]

I remember watching this interview and being blown away. this lady seems to be very passionate about our soldiers and their fate. I respect that. she definitely wants the american public to know the truth about iraq.

[@Hodenkat]

It's so true! It can be argued that one of the strongest reasons for ending the Vietnam war was that it was the first televised war in history. The horrific images shown to the public were enough to convince most Americans that it was a war without cause and should come to an end.

[@cynicalbrit]

It's not a case of being spiteful about what she's reporting, it's about the fact that what she wants to report, ie. what's really going on, is being passed over by Cable News in favor of things that don't matter. It's a disgrace, and she's right to be angry about it.

[@bazrin]

You won't see the sincerity like that much these days...

[@silverkitty2503]

What about the 2 million civillians in the middle east who were killed does she wanna talk about them?

[@TheGoldengirl72]

I saw her go out on a convoy for 3 days with American soldiers where 3 of our guys were killed. They respected our soldiers and DID not show the bodies. God bless America my sweet, free and beautiful country!

[@quicksite]

What she's expressing is a CONSCIENCE.... and she speaks with utter HUMILITY. She's done more than any single American TV journalist to tell the truth (she and Michael Ware at CNN) about every aspect of this illegal invasion & occupation... yet she STILL feels like she's let down the soldiers she's covered day in- day out.. because fight as she could, MOST of her reporting never got on the air. You can't pin that on her. VIDEOFREEPRESS, I admire all you do, but THIS IS WRONG how you described LL

[@Tlax13]

She's got balls. I'll give her that. She puts her life on the line every time she goes out with troops on a patrol or mission.

[@gold333]

Does it make you feel better when you insult someone who you will never meet?

[@jb55236]

I agree 100 percent.

[@408Magenta]

She is absolutely bang on!!

[@silverlionlb]

I was so impressed with her interview. She was incredibly well spoken and, well, logical. Something lacking in much of todays media.

[@Tallonest]

Thank you.

[@globalecovil]

What a woman! My Hero! she is beautiful, honest and passionate about the truth!

[@fuzzyone99]

What an amazingly courageous woman... she shows the esteemed level to which journalism can be brought.

[@LIVEFEEDER]

lol, u seen her recently? NUT JOB!

[@gredennia]

@DonRonter what exactly did she do to badmouth them? She was defending them. Not that anything justifies your comment.

[@Oscarallknowing]

She's right on point !

[@MrChaim321]

@nikwagh I don't know anything about that story, but it for sure didn't happen in Madison Square Garden in front of thousands of people, as in our case.

[@notashot]

Well you have a point there.

[@mauricioD]

Intolerance and prejudice is the common thread that characterizes the anonymous few who disparage Ms. Logan regarding this terrible experience. May she soon fully overcome this ordeal.

[@IsaacScharp]

ehtigent. She doesn't pick what goes on the air. She just sends the info in.

[@snobiethepobie]

Such candid opinion is almost absent via mainstream news.

[@aaakappagrtv]

U missed my point. I was responding to the guy about why they don't cover the "good news" in the War and why they only report the bad things. I'm against the war.

[@babysealavenger]

@shlarl When I say that showing brutally murdered people in domestic disputes serves no purpose, I don't mean to say recording war is suppose to fill an agenda. News networks are simply ommitting death in their footage. If you're recording something as a report of what's happening, how can you edit out or omit things based on what you think is acceptable and expect it to accurately represent the situation? People just don't understand the nature of war unless they see it. Film all, or film none.

[@djdeac]

She put it down...I wish there were a whole newsroom of her.

[@Chris_0803]

How has the administration taught us that? Can you list an example?

[@Macsab]

absolutely amazing woman..quite possibly the woman of my dreams. She is brilliantly articulating what I feel

[@TheEEStudent]

@Amputate Don't misunderstand - I really think she should go back to work asap. Just that her real test is standing up to her own CBS brass and simply refusing to speak about what she's been through. They will want her to deny it. She should simply stay silent on it, until the time is right to file a complaint at the Egyptian police.

[@nb19777]

She's the type of journalist we have been lacking

[@JoeMacStevens]

she is so smart, articulate and beautiful.

[@NoGuff]

@TheAqui1a I don't know about that, she's fairly articulate.

[@CoolGod]

Get her own show in America!! About time someone says it like it is!!!

[@gg2000gg2000]

I don't really know her but from what I heard she sure had one hell of an adventure in Egypt

[@Neville6000]

Then make sure that the 'tiny portion' doesn't get its way with the vote next time, and you won't have people from abroad stereotyping you. Simple.

[@Dahveed1982]

AMEN SISTER!

[@alrobjacon]

I don't believe any person, irrespectivetive of culture, race, creed or background is deserving of the baseless, demeaning horrible comments I've read about this woman on this site. I don't believe ANYONE should ever be subjected to the personal violation she has been reported to have endured. All the same it's not my place to judge or condemn the alleged perpetrators. Perhaps I'm not squeaky clean myself, however, I encourage all to exercsise restraint and respect.

[@boringlyawesum]

i think you just missed her whole point.

[@tarjay35]

She sounds intelligent, real and educated.

[@gldmj55]

It's sad that this is reported on a comedy show rather than network news programs.

[@Visfen]

Beautiful and brilliant. What a woman!

[@roadnate]

This argument has always been ridiculous. There are many reasons who I am not in the military, a big one being that this country has a habit of starting wars like the two we are in. We are all paying for this ridiculous waste, not in the same ways but paying just the same. I don't want anyone to be over there but don't join the damned army if you don't want to be used like this. What the hell did you expect our government to do if not throw you away in a pointless war? It's what they do.

[@TheEEStudent]

What has happened to her is simply horrible.

[@martianvirus428]

I know this is completely random and even a little inappropriate to be saying on this video (or at the very least it's a bit shallow) but her accent is sooooo beautiful.

[@mrbriscoe2001]

God Bless her passion and humanity..doesn't seem like a bubble-head or self centered careerist.......

[@agasarang]

She was very concerned about the soliders and pointed to the fact that they have to still go out in a very hostile area. Hey trolls - what are you seeing in this video that says she's not supporting the troops?

[@Reporterreporter770]

She has been labelled a homewrecker for her trysts with an Aussie newsman and the husband of a US Embassy worker.

[@MrHoolits]

What a brave, smart reporter!

[@Captain077]

I know how the military thinks and works. I was enlisted in the Air Force when september 11th happened. My brother was an officer from 2000-2004. I have one commissioned brother in law in the military and two enlisted brother in laws. From what I know when I served, from what I learn by talking to them who are currently serving, few think this war is worth the time away from family and the risk of loss of life. No, its not hard to find soldiers who are against this war.

[@chardir]

I'd like to force her to watch what passes for TV news coverage in America.

[@shlarl]

@h2olacky How should they not be reported in the same way? Both need to be reported in a balanced and critical manner - proper to the subject. In no way should this mean condoning a honor killing - but at the same time I don't need a reporter lovingly drinking every word from a presidential speech.

[@missionuk]

the first part of your response is a little harsh - the context is different .. what if one of those 51 were someone you loved? however your sentiment regards the media spoon feeding the news is very agreeable - especially in certain countries.

[@chelseafcsta]

as a brit who has lived in america i am so glad im western european and not american, we have health, decent education, dont start illegal wars and arent totally hypocritical. example condeleeza rice accused russia for the unprovoked attack against georgia, of course she should be angry thats the amerinsa role. when bush won the 2004 election there were 300,000 thousand more american emigrants to canada in 4 months than usual

[@pdex2165]

And all the soldiers feel forgotten? Really? Funny how I just talked to a guy in my neighborhood who returned from Iraq about two weeks ago who told me that while all the guys and girls do want to come home, morale is still high because they can see the progress being made there. Maybe you should...talk to a few other soldiers...?

[@Jadix]

that is exactly what i said when it stopped playing.

[@unaffiliatedmedia]

Why is SHE complaining? she is in a position to make it better, she works for cbs. this woman is part of the problem.

[@kd1s]

You know the Daily Show is more hard hitting than the MSM news shows.

[@fakudamus]

good on her!

[@GFoladi]

@csswafford there is no "should/shouldn't" at the end of either of your comments

[@WorshipInTruth]

@AbuJahfar Correction, I do not believe she was even "gangraped" simply groped, and manhandled.

[@Ullygirldk]

She's very smart, and has some VERY good points.. I respect her:) And i really like her, i think she is a good person.. Jon Stewart always has great guests, he is just awesome, I love him

[@HighPriestofLemuria]

@scottistoxic This isn't about how she looks, this is about figuring out how she found the kitchen door.

[@Daritto7117]

She speaks the truth!!!

[@chardir]

I'd like to force her to watch what passes for TV news coverage in America and see what she does.

[@granjuas]

This aint a war on terror This is a war of terror.

[@linlalila]

I am an American. The approval rate of the current president is somewhere like 30%. Only 51% voted for him in the last election, leaving half of the country against the war and the people controlling the country, that percentage continues to rise. I live in New York City and surround myself with highly educated people who keep themselves very aware of International current events. No country is filled with 100% of the people seeing eye-to-eye and agreeing on what their leaders should do.

[@greyhall1]

She's British, genius.

[@Captain077]

My Great grandfather served in the army in WWI, my grandfather in WWII, my father served in the army also. I served in the Air Force from 1998-2002. My brother served in the AF from 2000-2004. I currently have 3 brother in laws serving, 2 in the army, 1 in the marines. I know the difference between DC and the military. Most military, by a larg margin are against this war, but they fight anyway. They have little choice. If one has a problem with this war, don't the military, hate the politicians.

[@bornbillsmith]

This is only a small segment probably of a much longer interview and since this is all I have seen my comment may be incorrect. She's not just a foreign correspondent she's their boss. If she doesn't like what is shown on the news she should do something about it and not just complain.

[@baltar2006]

My sentimonies exactly! Thumbs way the hell up.

[@rulinghabs]

I am lucky to be living in Canada. We pretty much get an unbiased view of events that happen around the world. It tends to be less sensationalistic and doesn't try to sway the audience to think about the events one way or another. Today though with the internet and such, we are able to get our newss from many different sources around the world which we should do more of. If only to get a new fresh perspective.

[@FloydFactor]

She is among the last vestiges of true journalism left on TV, but she's still filtered quite effectively. I hope she leaves network TV.

[@aznneozanet]

@Copiophonica I don't know, considering they were working with a company that was actually in that battle, I think they were taking it pretty seriously. I agree that it didn't deserve the controversy, and I think Konami really dropped the ball.

[@HarryPalma]

she'd get done!

[@leonasears]

she probably suffered a post-traumatic stress disorder, you can see she is highly stressed as she talks retelling her traumatic memories, she is gasping for air a symptom of high anxiety, she is highly stressed could be due to PTSD.. . . .

[@mschwage]

You're one of the people Stewart is talking about... "Have we lost our humanity?" Thank god she's angry.

[@pdex2165]

Well...isn't she just the repository of positivity. Thank you, Lara, for telling me so condescendingly that war is an awful thing and that people die, while implying America really doesn't have a clue. Please take the next flight back to Afghanistan and continue to grimly report on how utterly awful war really is. And do it with more condescention.

[@jp2007ms]

Are you kidding me, she's actually one of the few people for whom "support our troops" is more than just words. Maybe you're just too full of yourself to actually appreciate strong women.

[@esoterica77]

No... you do.

[@TwoBun]

Oops, I forgot to reply to your reply. Uhh..My comment was directed at "Corchybsky's" nationality and their comment. ...I wasn't referring to Lara Logan's Nationality. I heard she's pregnant now. I've thought about fleeing to Canada for a long time.

[@buzzhawk]

She was asking for it.

[@Frranc1s]

That was a great clip, and a smart woman.

[@LeeKirkman88]

The people that did this cant even call themselves Human Beings in my book,

[@GrownupPhan]

Lara is one of the best reporters around. She should have as much gravitas as Christine Amanpour did in the first Iraq War. But it seems she has only minimal luck getting her stories on the air. Kudos to CBS for making her their chief foreign correspondent, but shame on them for not giving her more air time. This was one of the best segments on the Daily Show.

[@mrstjs]

You guys are forgetting that she was the one in the love triangle and broke up a marriage.

[@isayusayweallcansay]

@tnekkc that is so correct...one example is chris matthews , i think he's with NBC.

[@pongman]

I wish she was in charge of NBC Nightly News, or any news station for that matter. I wonder what news source she does watch?

[@aznneozanet]

@Copiophonica I'm not sure I completely agree with your last statement though; I do agree that no one deserves to have to experience war first hand, but if no one knows the experience of war then it would be hard to understand it. If the experience can be communicated through other means, like a video game, then I think it would be a good educational tool for the future.

[@allgoo19]

She's the last remaining true journalist not yet fired by the news station outside the AlJazeera.

[@3pmusic]

amazing.

[@RuflessRecords]

ScottLaughrey, I find your sarcasm "really cool"

[@notashot]

I wish there wasn't a cut in this video. I feel like some context was left out.

[@rosskolnikov]

Fidelity, loyalty, and morality, perhaps?

[@ColinZeal01]

Props to her. *thumbs up*

[@HalfpennyCat]

too bad patriotism went from being proud of what good your country can do with power to being proudof how powerful your country is

[@google2com]

I think the media has a responsibility to cover stories that truly effect our life and leave the gossip page to the entertainment news.

[@n4679827]

Yeppers, she felt the same way when she was rped in Egypt (SARC).
