Seriously? Has Lara Logan been fired yet?

[LaydeeBug]

It's been a few days. And I don't mean "resign" either. I mean *FIRED*

[Cali_Democrat]

1. Yes

She was fired while Dan Rather was allowed to stay at CBS.

This proves how liberal the media really is.

[tavernier]

2. Get this to the Greatest page

She must go!

[Cleita]

3. No. I don't think she will be fired.

However, in the future, look for her contract not to be renewed. In the meantime, you will see her on the air with fluff pieces only.

To fire her would mean that CBS is admitting that they made a colossal mistake with her and I don't think they want that. I hope I'm wrong because she should be fired.

5. This makes total sense. They'd have a Human Relations attorney with lawsuit in hand before you can

say..."and that's part of our world tonight".

[marsis]

4. Of course she should be but

on the other hand I see a future Faux News bimbo.

[BlueStreak]

20. They don't have any bimbos with British accents yet, do they?

That seems like a perfect gig for this lightweight. But seriously, since when has 60 minutes had any credibility? It has always just been a hatchet program with Mike Wallace just trying to sneak up on people.

[Erose999]

6. I don't mean "fired," I mean *SHITCANNED,* LOL

[Nite Owl]

7. I think that they think this is

over and the weak apology did the trick.
They aren't afraid of us like they were with the right wing nuts during Rather.

I haven't heard of any investigation panel either like there was with Rather. That would be the least that they can do. (of course it would need to be packed with liberals like they packed the board for Rather)

Who are their sponsors? We should boycott them. I've been boycotting the show since they fired Rather.

[EC]

12. Makes me wonder what the right

threatens them with or what they have on them.

[SunSeeker]

14. "They aren't afraid of us like they were with the right wing nuts during Rather."

I think that pretty much explains this whole episode, starting with their decision to run an unbelievable story by a mercenary that they did not even check out with the FBI first.

[JHB]

22. The Right has hated Rather since the 60s

To them he was the premier example of "liberal bias in the press", and the guy they most point to about losing Vietnam due to a "backstabbing press".

In 1985 Jesse Helms promoted the idea of conservatives buying CBS just to be Dan Rather's boss:

Senator Jesse Helms sent a letter to conservatives across the country; he asked 1 million conservatives to buy stock in CBS:
&quot If each conservative) shifts enough of his or her savings or investments to buy just 20 shares of CBS stock, we would have enough votes to end CBS's bias forever....(CBS is) the most anti-Reagan network....It's vital for us to put an end to media bias....FIM (Fairness in Media) is counting on you to become Dan Rather's boss--by switching a portion of your investments to CBS stock. I am not giving economic or investment advice. The sole reason for this effort is to end bias at CBS Inc. You can buy stock in CBS by finding a stockbroker. They are listed in the Yellow Pages."
--Excerpts from the letter by Jesse Helms, January 21, 1985.

That's why Rather was treated differently. Conservatives passionately wanted his head mounted on a pike, and they finally had the excuse to get it.

8. Next stop for her.. Fox "news".

[lpbk2713]

9. She's currently attending night school at the local high school.

Brushing up on high school level journalism.

[RainDog]

10. her "non-apology" should have sealed it n/t

[Leith]

11. When Is the Last Time

somebody got fired for attacking a Democrat?

It sounds like a rhetorical question, but I'd really like to hear an answer - if there is one.

[daleanime]

15. Unfortunity...

that's a very good question.

[calimary]

16. ...but she photographs well.

[HijackedLabel]

17. CBS has two choices to make:

a. Fire Lara Logan and bring some credibility back to their news programs.

b. Let her stay and make an implied statement that credibility is not important to them and any future "exclusives" should be considered fiction.

[riverbendviewgal]

18. America is done

Corruption within its own borders. The liberty beacon of light for freedom, justice for all is extinguished.

[appacom]

19. Ya got that right.

[Enthusiast]

21. Plus 1,000,000!

[LaydeeBug]

24. We may be on that path, but this *ain't* over. nt

[BlueJazz]

23. Next week, Lara Logan will host a new segment on 60 minutes entitled "Oh Look, Something Shiny !"

Sounds like just smashing fun!
