Last night on The Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart they had Lara Logan of CBS on for the interview segment. I have to say that it was surprisingly one of the best interviews I have EVER SEEN on the show. Her candor and commitment to substantive journalism is simply amazing and I found myself nodding my head in agreement and saying "amen" to much of what she said.
She has been covering America's foreign conflicts for some time now. Among the many great things she said, she was asked if she watches the news that we see back in America and responded "No - if I watched the news you all watch I'd blow my brains out."
She also recounts being asked by a reporter whether she feels responsible for the American public having a negative perception of the war(s) and she asked the reporter when the last time he saw a dead American soldier was. She says that she feels responsible for nobody seeing that and truly understanding what is going on... she says she feels responsible for the troops feeling like they've been forgotten.
Amazing interview - watch it below and chime in with thoughts / opinions:
