In remarks to a packed room, Logan explained that legacy press outlets have betrayed the principles they are supposed to uphold.
“Media companies, institutions, and journalism schools have failed all of us. For too long we have allowed non-profit organizations to masquerade as non-partisan media watchdogs, when in fact they are little more than highly paid political propagandists and assassins whose entire reason for being is to crush anyone who stands in their way, and along with them the long-held and cherished ideas of free speech, free thinking, and free minds,” she said.
“This is a blood sport for them,” she added. “They know how to kill a journalist without murdering them. We call it cancel culture. In truth, it is a death sentence. And they get away with it because they have information dominance.”
Logan was an up-and-coming reporter who spent 16 years working for CBS, where she served as chief foreign affairs correspondent. She was also a mainstay on 60 Minutes. She officially left the network in 2018, eventually being picked up by Fox News, where she commented on cultural issues until 2022.
In recent years, Logan has taken a no-holds-barred approach to topics the mainstream media has labeled “conspiracy theories,” including Pizzagate, January 6, the COVID-19 shot, and the World Economic Forum. Her willingness to speak out on thorny issues, which she did on Monday, has garnered her support from across the political spectrum.
“We live in the age of information warfare where propaganda is not simply a weapon. It is the entire field of battle,” she said. “While propaganda and censorship are not new, technology means unprecedented power and reach in the hands of a few. Companies like Facebook, Instagram and Google … have absolute control over what we see and what we hear.”
