OPINION:
Lara Logan, former CBS correspondent, took to Fox & Friends to say that Media Matters is the “most powerful propaganda organization in this country.”
This is the same Logan who just courageously spoke publicly and critically about the left-leaning bias of the mainstream media.
That’s two hat tips to truth-telling to Logan, in about two months’ time.
This time, she made her observances — which include decades of personal experience in the media, mostly for mainstream organizations — in context of talking Russia collusion and the investigation.
Investigation in quote marks, that is.
“[The media coverage is] indicative of the organized propaganda that was behind all of this,” Logan said, Mediaite noted.
And then came her assessment of the supposed unbiased-but-actually-biased Media Matters.
“[This group] is the most powerful propaganda organization in this country,” Logan said. “They pretend they’re about good journalism, but there’s no propaganda operation that’s looking for good journalism. They’re pushing their agenda. And one of the main pillars of their strategy is to make sure that Donald Trump is seen as the most unpopular president in history.”
Bam.
Good points.
That it came from Logan, a former CBSer — an insider to all the mainstream media comings and goings — only drives the point home harder: The modern media is no friend of the people, no proper gate-guard to truth, no protector of the rights of the citizens from the bullies of Big Government.
