This CBS reporter was indeed beaten and groped while covering the Jasmine Revolution in Egypt. But then the story went to exaggerated fantasy, to "yellow journalism" with claims that Logan had been gang raped by a crowd of crazed Arabs.
Right Wingers and AIPACers fueled MSM by generating lurid falsifications -- plus new claims that the attackers yelled "Jew, Jew" and "Death to America."
Then the facts from WSJ and Logan: the assault... was 'not a rape.'
Through today MSM sounds like 1898, when Heart misreported the sinking of the battleship Maine in Havana harbor. The most of U.S. coverage is appalling.
And there was no Alien Abduction going on at Al Tahrir Square, either.
A second MSM rightie thread going around says that al-Jazeera does not include the Logan story. That is also false. 100% bogus.
Excepts, links and summary below the fold. A wee brain-wash for ye victims of lies:::
Let's get the misuse of Logan in perspective. The message is quite simple:
Hate Arabs, hate Arabs, hate Arabs:
The media is so intent on whitewashing the savage protesters in Tahrir square in Cairo that the brutal rape and beating of Lara Logan went on in public for at least a half hour to three hours, according to various reports. The people in the square watched it and allowed it to go on for some extended period of time.
Think about that. These horrible people stood by for hours while this went on. And the media paints these people as "freedom-yearning people." And the dirty little secret about this is that this kind of treatment of an infidel woman is acceptable in Islam, and that's why the media doesn't talk about it.
And the UN? They are busy drafting resolutions condemning the tiny Jewish state.
There weren't any "various reports." This is all made up.
None of the following is true, as well. This is S&M porn, masquerading as political commentary:
...However, Youtube and some Arab Websites are offering some further claimed shocking details not reported by the U.S. media and even some video about the extreme brutality of the attack on CBS reporter Lara Logan . Reportedly, some videos did show a crowd of about 200 or more men surround and separate Lara Logan from her security, and the crowd shouted “Jew, Jew!”, and “American bitch!”....
Reportedly some of physical and sexual assault activity was caught on camera phones as well. One video purportedly involved some boy fondling the breasts of the reporter.
However, another purported video that was described by a controversial YouTube video claims that a bearded man ripped the top off the reporter and began slapping her face and breasts. He then pinned her to the ground, and by this time she stopped resisting, apparently accepting the fact that she was overpowered. The bearded man then removed her pants and masturbated in front of her before raping her. He also reportedly clawed at her breasts with his hands.
...at least six men raped her vaginally, and a number of men also raped her anally as well....
She was reportedly masturbated on and urinated on by some men as well according to the YouTube video claims which was supposed to be pieced together from information and videos posted on Arab Websites and other sources.
...It was also claimed that her left breast might have been bitten or might even had the left nipple bitten off as well.
....One report claims that somewhere from 6 to about 50 men might have sexually assaulted or beat the attractive reporter.
Nothing but lies. Coverage of this incident was collected up by one Pam Geller and posted
HERE.
Of course there is no such thing as a "purported video" or a "purported cell phone video." Either a video exists or it doesn't. If anything like that had hit a web site, we'd know about it within a tweet.
In WaPo a summary comment:
The public, celebratory gang rape of Lara Logan was ignored by the American media for days while the Tahir Square Islamist thugs were described as pro-democracy demonstrators. Maybe it's time to identify these anti-US, anti-Israel, anti-Jew, misogynistic creeps for what they are. Maybe it's time to admit the western media including the Post blew the story and followed a template true only their imagination.
"Public" and "celebratory" not. Reall, not. Cuz it didn't happen.
Anyway... bottom line... I have to feel sorry twice over for Ms. Logan. She does a good job and in hindsight we all know she needed more protection. The pro-Mubarak thugs attacked thousands of people, killing 365 as estimated by the Cairo medical authorities. what happened to her is a microcosm for what happened to Egypt over 30 years.
Getting beaten up is bad enough. Now she will have a lifetime of hearing Sicko Righties whispering behind her back. OOoooo... the perversions.... You'd have thought a flying saucer had grabbed her up off Pennsylvania Avenue and dropped her naked in the middle of Times Square.
And, if you missed this earlier, its all lies.
Oh, yeah. The al-Jazeera angle.
TRY CLICKING HERE.
They had no independent verification, so they put the AP link up.
That AP link. Plus this:
11:48am Al Jazeera's Alan Fisher expresses his condolences for Lara Logan from CBS News in the US. She was beaten and sexually assaulted while covering the protests in Egypt.
-- Thoughts with my friend and former colleague @CBSNews Lara Logan who suffered brutal attack in #Egypt - hope she gets well and recovers soon.
Took me about one minute to find the al-Jazeera page. I type badly. Very badly.
MSM ??? Too much trouble.
Hope you enjoyed this tiny brain-wash. Every lie expunged is a poison you can pee out.
Liver well and prosper.
