About Lara Logan
Lara Logan (born 29 March 1971) is a South African television and radio journalist and war correspondent. Her career began with various South African news organizations in the 1990s. Her public profile rose due to her reports on the American invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, leading to her being hired as a correspondent for CBS News in 2002 and eventually becoming the service's Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent. In 2013, a story of Logan's on the 2012 Benghazi attack caused significant controversy due to factual errors and was retracted, resulting in a leave of absence. She left CBS in 2018, and has since made wide-ranging claims on conspiracy theories concerning various topics, such as HIV/AIDS denialism or the Rothschild family. In 2019, she joined the Sinclair Broadcast Group, a conservative media company. In January 2020, she joined Fox Nation, a subscription streaming service run by Fox News. In March 2022, she said she had been "dumped" by the network. Since June 2022, Logan has been a board member of America's Future, a conservative non-profit chaired by Michael Flynn, who briefly served as National Security Advisor under the first Trump administration. Logan's comments were praised and taken up by Russian government propaganda.
