Lara Logan, who compared Fauci to Mengele, says Fox News pushed her out

[Jilly_in_VA]

The former CBS reporter Lara Logan, who compared Dr Anthony Fauci to the Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, has claimed she was “pushed out” at Fox News because the conservative network does not want “independent thinkers”.

“I was definitely pushed out,” Logan told Eric Metaxas, a conservative radio host, this week. “I mean, there is no doubt about that. They don’t want independent thinkers. They don’t want people who follow the facts regardless of the politics.”

Fox News has not commented on reports that it “quietly benched” Logan over her remark about Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser. On Friday, a spokesperson for Fox News said the network would not comment.

Logan has not appeared as a guest on Fox News since making the comment about Fauci. There have been no new episodes of her show on the Fox Nation streaming service, Lara Logan Has No Agenda, which is still available.

Logan made the comment about Mengele, the “Angel of Death” who conducted medical experiments at the Auschwitz concentration camp, in November, during a discussion of the Covid pandemic on Fox News Primetime.

Logan said: “Dr Fauci, this is what people say to me, that he doesn’t represent science to them.

8. Logan's anti-semitic comments

... “Does anyone know who employed Darwin, where Darwinism comes from? Look it up: the Rothschilds,” Logan said on And We Know, apparently blaming the theory of evolution on an anti-Semitic myth involving the Jewish banking family turned business dynasty. “It goes right back to 10 Downing Street, the same people who employed Darwin, and that’s when Darwin wrote his theory of evolution, and so on and so on. And I’m not saying that none of that is true. I’m just saying Darwin was hired by someone to come up with a theory,” she said.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a Jewish civil rights organization, unpacked Logan’s remarks in a statement to Vanity Fair ... “It’s deeply disturbing, but not surprising, that Fox Nation host Lara Logan is promoting tired, age-old anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about Jews,” said ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt. “Journalists have a responsibility to report the news accurately and factually. There’s nothing accurate or factual about blaming Jewish financiers for financing Darwin or claiming that Jews are trying to form a world government. That’s the kind of messaging more suited for a white supremacist chat room than for a major news network” ...

60 Minutes.

10. A perpetual liar.

Nothing bad happened to her in Egypt.

[Boomerproud]

14. For her sake I hope she gets the help she needs. Or not.

[Grokenstein]

16. "he doesn't represent science to them"

Well, that's not how science works, goober. It's not a popularity contest or a box-office competition. Reality does not need a talent agent or a lawyer.

Who does "represent science" to these probably-fictional people who say things to you, Logan? dim donnie? The MyPillow guy?

[jmowreader]

17. Comparing US Government officials to Nazis is never a good idea

[GoodRaisin]

18. That shouldn't bother "Fox

Lying Sacks of Shit News”. Gotta be something else.
