This post resulted from my being pmmed a video of a Lara Logan interview

Political views

Sinclair's stations have been known for featuring news content and programming that promote conservative political positions, and have been involved in various controversies surrounding politically-motivated programming decisions,[121][122] such as news coverage and specials during the lead-ups to elections that were in support of the Republican Party.[123][124][121] A 2019 study by Emory University political scientists Gregory J. Martin and Josh McCrain in the American Political Science Review found that "stations bought by Sinclair reduce coverage of local politics, increase national coverage and move the ideological tone of coverage in a conservative direction relative to other stations operating in the same market."

and Logan - Criticism and comments on the media

After leaving CBS News, Logan began to criticize the media which she said had a liberal bias.[34][6] She described journalists as "political activists" and "propagandists" against President Trump.[6] She said that by saying this she was doing something akin to "professional suicide."[6] Shortly thereafter, she joined the Sinclair Broadcast Group.[35][36]

2019 Fox News "No Agenda" series

In 2019, Logan was hired by Fox News to do a series of independent style shows called "Lara Logan has No Agenda."[37]

Claims about antifa

On May 31, 2020, Logan tweeted a picture, which she claimed was an antifa riot instruction manual. The picture actually was an updated hoax dating to the 2015 Baltimore riots. On June 1, Logan tweeted a threat by the @ANTIFA_US Twitter account. The account turned out to be fake and linked to Identity Europa, a white nationalist organization. After being criticized for posting the hoaxes, Logan claimed that there was a campaign to "destroy" her, including by Media Matters for America.[38][39]

On June 4, 2020, Logan appeared on Hannity to claim that antifa was leaving "pallets of bricks" at protest sites in an attempt to stoke violence and destruction. Fact-checkers found that claims of bricks being left at protest sites were baseless. No one else reported seeing antifa trucks leaving pallets of bricks. Next, Logan promoted a June 5 joke tweet which linked antifa to juggalos and a "clown hierarchy". Logan instead focused on the portion of the tweet that mentioned a "traditional command structure" and argued that anarchists thus indeed had organizational structure.[39]
