On Saturday, journalist Lara Logan said that the response to the Mueller report was stunning because of what was not happening: there were no blaring headlines boldly proclaiming the vindication of President Trump.
During an appearance on “Fox & Friends” Saturday, Logan argued that if the Mueller report had resulted in indictments or charges of any kind against the President, that would certainly be the top story in every news paper.
“My question is this: If charges had been brought against the president, then the headlines would all be screaming about, you know, victory, right, for the left. Vindication.”
This proves that what the left has been saying is right. Now, no charges have been brought but I don’t see screaming headlines that say this vindicates the president.” said Logan.
The former CBS correspondent also stated that she found coverage of the whole investigation to be very problematic, noting on how often it was mentioned that Mueller had indicted people close to the President, but only adding as an afterthought that the indictments had nothing to do with President Trump or ties to Russia.
“There is something else that bothers me with much of the reporting on this from the beginning is that you keep seeing high-up, featured prominently in many articles, this line that ‘six members of the Trump campaign have been indicted by the Mueller investigation’ — but you don’t read in the same space right there, nobody writes ‘although none of them were charged with conspiracy with Russia,’ the central question of the Mueller investigation. That always comes way, way, way down further in the reporting.” she added.
Lara Logan explained as a journalist that there was “a very simple fix.” She explained, “You can say six people were charged, but none of those charges had anything to do with conspiring with Russia. That gives — that doesn’t mislead the reader or the viewer, right? Because it’s very clear what people were charged with and that it’s not related to conspiracy or to the central focus of the Mueller investigation.”
“As a journalist, I find it disappointing that people will create one impression with their reporting, correct it later and then claim that they have been honest and objective,” Logan concluded.
Lara Logan sure has a great point. If liberals didn’t run the media there would be stories of innocence for President Trump. The sad truth is that the mainstream media have been lying for two years about our the President and none of them will apologize or say anything about it.
