Logan booted from Newsmax for being too crazy even for them

Former Fox darling Lara Logan, a one-time respected member of the media, will not appear on conservative cable propaganda network Newsmax as a guest in the future after going on a full-blown conspiratorial rant Wednesday that involved anti-Semitic “blood libel” and a claim that the “global cabal” planned to infiltrate 100 million undocumented immigrants into the United States to overtake the American democracy.

The screed aired Wednesday, and by Thursday evening, Newsmax management announced Logan would no longer appear on the network.  “Newsmax condemns in the strongest terms the reprehensible statements made by Lara Logan and her views do not reflect our network,” the network said in a statement. “We have no plans to interview her again.”

Logan’s fall from legitimacy has been very rapid and very public.  The South African native rose to fame working her way up through the ranks of local news outlets before getting a job with Reuters.  She was then a correspondent for various US networks including CBS, ABC and CNN.  While with CBS News in 2011, Logan covered unrest in Egypt, during which she claims she was sexually assaulted by a mob of men.

Later a correspondent for CBS’s “60 Minutes,” Logan had to retract a segment and was later suspended in 2013 after she reported on the show about the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi using information proven to be false, with Logan blaming a source for the misinformation.

After that, Logan started a rapid descent into conspiracy theories.  She took a job with Fox Nation in 2020, where she produced reports laden with unsubstantiated conspiracies about things like AIDS, saying falsely that HIV does not cause AIDS.  Logan, however, seemed to have a specific target in antifa, about which she filed multiple incorrect reports.  For example, Logan claimed a pallet of bricks at a construction site in Washington, DC was staged there for easy access for what she described as pre-planned violence; no one could substantiate her assertion that “antifa” delivered the bricks to the construction site.

Logan also reported that antifa and the Jugaloos, the followers of hip hop group the Insane Clown Posse, had formed an alliance which would establish a “clown hierarchy;” that report was based off a tweet from a parody website.

In March 2022, she was dismissed from Fox after a series of anti-Semitic statements, including calling Dr. Anthony Fauci of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention a “Nazi” and saying that the Rothschild family paid Charles Darwin to create his theory of evolution, and that the Rothschild’s secretly engineered the US Civil War and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
