CBS correspondent Lara Logan reveals she was victim of sex attack while covering Egyp

What is that meant to mean?

Just because shes a respected journalist doesn't mean she couldn't be reporting total *.

The thing is, I don't like other country's reporting thats got nothing to do with them fair enough they can report, it gives that slight feeling another countrys going to jump in there in either side and cause another war, let the people decide which this world needs to see, revolutions are needed everywhere let them be.

Now this jurno supposedly got beaten and raped only came from here and no witnesses? I don't believe that a second especially when there hundreds and if not thousands of rioters. I think the revolution would be about the people uprising rather than a riot rape would it? total garbage shes reported imho.

You can believe what you want, the papers play a big role in propaganda and I don't believe this, these guys that supposedly done it haven't even been caught. And if you think I criticize america on everything I think you need to think again, on of my inspirational characters is American its the fact America plays a huge rule in imperialism and I don't like it thats why I don't take American news serious, the stuff about false flag media report on other country's etc thats what bring people together and hates the other race its a disgrace!

 

Quite often in countries with oppressive governments it is not the people who get to decide what the outside world gets to see. It is the governments that decide.

Take Zimbabwe, if the world's media didn't smuggle journalists into that country then none of us would be any the wiser about the many atrocities Robert Mugabe has committed against the people of Zimbabwe. Surely that is not a good thing?

It is only by foreign journalists sneaking into that country that we have had our eyes opened to what an evil dictator Mugabe is.

 

Its the people who get to decide who controls government right? so its the peoples choice.

I don't know this Zimbabwe situation, If you want to go to other country's and reports on events it should be only if they cause a threat on your country.

 

Not always no. Elections have been rigged in Zimbabwe and many other countries around the world for a long, long time. Often the only way to put an end to corruption within these kinds of countries is to get journalists in to the country and expose what is going on to the rest of the world. The International community can then take action and try and put an end to it.

 

I'm sorry but that is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard - reporting on a world event is a good thing, the more freedom of reporters in a country the better it is for the people living in that country.

A dictator may be elected into power, but then he doesn't hold any more elections so the people can't vote him out again, any dissention is not tolerated and those dissenting voices are imprisoned, tortured and killed - the only hope of stopping that is internation condemnation through the use of getting their story out.

 

There may be alot of * up in Zimbabwe etc, theres corruption everywhere you go and see and only its own people are the ones who have to uprise not the foreign. see, as you stated "The International community can then take action and try and put an end to it." see i dont like that, simply because this is where wars come into intention.

It depends on which world event it is. As stated to mark it causes involvement which no other country wants. Its simple, If your government rules are wrong which the people believe you uprise against it and thats whats happening, revolution. No other nation or country needs to explain this to the country which is doing it.

 

* love her, I hope she recovers.

And as for Smell the gloves comments, I'm astonished at your level of cynicism. And at your lack of understanding with world events, corrupt governments and the fact you have no idea about whats happened in Zimbabwe. Perhaps you dont want to know whats happening in other countries but the majority of us do, and this woman was raped and beaten trying to bring news to the world. Its disgusting and quite frankly so is your total irrational and uneducated statement thats shes made it up.

She is in hospital recovering, there is substantial if not concrete evidence that her story is real....or are the doctors in on this media conspiracy too??

 

You are horribly naive and it is clear you know very little of the world outside your own country, there is no evidence saying she or other reporters have lied about anything but there is evidence to say she was assaulted.

There are many Countries in the World where the people have no Choice in their leaders, like China, North Korea, Iran, and until recently Egypt and other countries in the middle east

 

Well it was a simple attempt to show you how * silly it is to bring the nationality of a journalist in to this debate, something which you did, and got wrong in the first instance. If you think a professional journalist would make up such claims and hide away in a hospital with the CBS network, and hospital staff seemingly complicit in this anti Egyptian conspiracy.. then I think you need to put your tin foil hat back on.

 

Why? I dont read or watch BBC news as I say its a great tool for propaganda.

 

If you believe it its your right to because I certainly don't, wonder if the cameras have recorded any bruises or her in hospital

 

Why am I shocked?? Because my ten year old neice knows more about world events than you. How exactly is reporting world affairs a tool for propaganda?

Haiti, Indonesian tsunami, the irish economy, Chillean miners, volcanic ash in Iceland, Pakistani Earthquake, the atrocities in Zimbabwe, the riots in Egypt.....these are world events, world news, it gives you a basic understanding of what is going on outside your tiny little life. People risk their lives to bring us this news.

Obviously you are happy being ignorant to the world round about you, but I am not. And I certainly wouldnt go making insensitive and uneducated comments about this poor womans ordeal when your gripe is quite obviously with the media and not her.

There not out to get us, its not a conspiracy, its not all propaganda. Its called news.

 

Well said Angie

 

why was she there w/o an armed escort?
