Propagandists and 'Political Assassins' Have Infected the Media

The state of the media in the United States has shifted over the years to the extent that the industry is no longer recognizable, former correspondent for CBS's "60 Minutes" Lara Logan told The Epoch Times.

Logan, now the host of Fox Nation's "Lara Logan Has No Agenda," has been at the frontlines for years, reporting on everything from war zones to gang warfare to the Benghazi scandal.

"I'll never forget that when, I think it was the president stopped speaking, and everyone applauded. None of the journalists clapped. That was where I learned you don't show as a journalist your partisanship and nobody in the press corps did-that was just a standard," Logan recalled.

"It was truly shocking to me during the 2016 campaign to hear and see journalists and newspapers of record you know, even any attempt or pretense or trying to be objective, and rally behind these political operatives and political organizations, to ensure that this person doesn't get into office," Logan added.

"Sourcing is so important, and today that's just been completely obliterated for the worst possible reasons to give cover to political operatives and people with political motives, to spread disinformation that harms the profession of journalism," said Logan.

"They're not journalists. They're political assassins, working on behalf of political operatives and propagandists, who do not care one bit about real journalism or honesty or anything like that," Logan argued.

Logan also suggested that media entities are working hand in hand with Big Tech companies to shape narratives and public discourse.
