Latest Tea Party Nation Conspirary Theory
The Tea Party Nation is claiming CbS News is covering up the true intent of the Lara Logan sexual assault.
But in this singular Logan case we've seen both. First, only after news queries indicated the story was breaking did CBS on Tuesday release a brief rap sheet on the Friday crime. We were told of Logan's accidental separation from her crew in the crowd. The prolonged assault by over 200 people "whipped into a frenzy." The rescue by a group of women and 20 soldiers. What CBS didn't mention -- what was later attributed to an unnamed network source -- was that as the thugs assaulted the 39-year-old journalist and mother of two, they shouted, "Jew! Jew!"
The media is staying away from this story because the Ruport Murdoch-owned New York Post first reported this story. anti-Muslim bigot Pamela Geller ran wild with did this story on her blog. The rest of the conservative blogosphere quickly followed. Is there anti-semitism in the world. Yes. Is there a lot of it in the Middle East? Absolutely. Do Ruport Murdoch's media companies make stuff up. Hell yeah!
To show how sloppy the New York Post is they got Logan's personal life details wrong.
Before the attack, Logan -- who is based in Washington, where she lives with her 2-year-old daughter and husband -- had been set to return to the States sometime over the weekend to tape a "60 Minutes" segment on Wael Ghonim.
Logan's son Joseph is two years-old. Logan had a baby girl in 2010. The New York Post got the sex of her first-born child wrong. Considering how the conservative movement was saying Logan was somehow asking for her own rape it is sickening they are now using her pain to further their political agenda. Do conservatives really think Logan and CBS News feel a need to protect the people that committed this heinous crime? The more likely reaction is their pissed these savages will get away with what they done.
Logan was separated from her news and security crew for a lengthy period of time. The only person who knows what was and wasn't said by the attacker is Logan. We won't know what happened until Logan publicly talks about her ordeal. I don't expect Logan to share the worst moment of her life with the public.
