Tucker Carlson defends Logan on Benghazi: ‘Sometimes the best stories have flaky sources’

Fox News host Tucker Carlson said on Sunday that he wasn’t convinced that CBS News correspondent Lara Logan’s alleged witness to the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi had been lying because “sometimes the best stories have flaky sources.”

Speaking to Fox News media critic Howard Kurtz on Fox & Friends, Carlson complained that MSNBC had not fired host Martin Bashir over improper comment about Sarah Plain but Logan had been asked to take a leave of absence after several other media outlets determined that her primary source had lied about being at the U.S. mission in Benghazi during the Sept. 11, 2011 terrorist attack.

“Where’s the justice?” the Fox News host asked.

He's been fired by every other network and I thought even fox had fired him once.

Tucker is an idiot and is not a journalist. If Tucker did not rely on bogus sources, he would have nothing to print
