VIDEO: CBS Reporter Rejects Myth of Unfair Iraq Coverage

From Bradblog (apologies if previously posted):

VIDEO - CBS Reporter Rejects Myth of Unfair Iraq Coverage

CBS News reporter Lara Logan appeared live from Iraq on CNN Reliable Sources on Sunday morning. She issued a stern rejection of the notion that Iraq reporters are biased towards negative stories.



Lara Logan's genuine outrage makes this a must-see clip!

From CNN's trancript:

KURTZ: But critics would say, well, no wonder people back home think things are falling apart because we get this steady drumbeat of negativity from the correspondents there.

LOGAN: Well, who says things aren't falling apart in Iraq? I mean, what you didn't see on your screens this week was all the unidentified bodies that have been turning up, all the allegations here of militias that are really controlling the security forces.

What about all the American soldiers that died this week that you didn't see on our screens? I mean, we've reported on reconstruction stories over and over again…I mean, I really resent the fact that people say that we're not reflecting the true picture here. That's totally unfair and it's really unfounded.

1. its so nice to see a beautiful reporter who has a wonderful mind
and believes in human decency and being truthless.

Logan puts all those disgusting whores like coulter to shame.

3. Video is more telling than the transcript. It shows her anger ...

...and contempt.

She's been in Iraq for three years. The clip ended with her referring to Ingraham, "eight days..."

4. I'm in love. Especially with the sarcastic "8 days" at the end.

6. Hmmm, I'm going to have to actually watch the clip now...

seeing as I posted it and all. Now I'm even more intrigued. (You get lazy about the streaming video when you are still on dial-up.)
