HeadlineJun 19, 2008

And finally, the state of the nation’s media has a new, and perhaps unexpected, critic: Lara Logan, chief foreign correspondent of CBS News. Logan recently appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

Jon Stewart: “Do you watch the news that we’re watching in the United States?”

Lara Logan: “No. No.”

Jon Stewart: “Do you see what we’re hearing about the war? Do you —”

Lara Logan: “No.”

Jon Stewart: “So we might actually know everything.”

Lara Logan: “If I were to watch the news that you’re hearing in the United States, I’d just blow my brains out, because it would drive me nuts.”
