I guess I am supposed to be shocked by this; but, I am not. 🙄
The Story:
Lara Logan, the CBS correspondent under fire for her discredited “60 Minutes” report on Benghazi, Libya, has received some support from one of her former network colleagues — Dan Rather, the veteran newsman who was pushed to leave his position after inaccurate reporting on George W. Bush.
Mr. Rather said Miss Logan should not be fired, Politico reported.
“OK, for whatever one thinks of what Lara Logan did or didn’t do with the story, in fairness it should be put against her whole record,” Mr. Rather said in an interview with Piers Morgan on CNN. “She’s still a very young correspondent, but for a young correspondent she has a distinguished record. It should be seen in that context and perspective.”
Miss Logan, along with her producer, Max McClellan, has been on leave from CBS since November. The Oct. 27 report that sent them there included claims of a former security contractor in Benghazi named Dylan Davies — claims that now have been contradicted and debunked. Mr. Davies said he was an eyewitness to the terrorist attack at the U.S. compound, and that’s how Miss Logan reported it — and some questioned whether she should have known of his contradictory statements before the broadcast.
Mr. Rather, for his part, said executives at CBS News were also to blame for Miss Logan’s report, which has been retracted, Politico reported.
