Lara Logan on Bill O'Reilly: It's so ridiculous
Lara Logan broke a heartbreaking story concerning the treatment of some children in an Iraqi orphanage. She is then asked to address Bill O'Reilly's complaint that some networks and journalists are reporting suicide bombings etc, mainly because it harms President Bush.
LOGAN: Well, I mean, with all due respect to Bill O’Reilly or anyone who takes that line, I mean, I just — it’s ridiculous. It’s completely and utterly ludicrous. And how can you — the media’s job is not to serve one side or the other. That’s never been our job. We’re there to be the watchdog for all sides.
So it’s not up to us to say, oh, you know, it doesn’t — it doesn’t do well for the war effort if you show how many people are being killed, so we’re not going to show it. I mean, what are we talking about? That’s not even journalism.
