On Wednesday, our friends at the Daily Caller flagged a blistering appearance by former CBS News journalist host Lara Logan on Tuesday’s Ingraham Angle schooling her former establishment media colleagues for their “depressing” display of infatuation with the Iranian government and hatred for President Trump.

An exasperated host Laura Ingraham teed Logan up by stating how, in 2020, “[t]he liberal media [are] acting more like state-run TV at times than, you know, David Brinkley or any of the greats, like Peter Jennings” by “carrying the water for the Iranian regime” against Trump.

Now a Fox Nation host, Logan replied that “it’s kind of depressing” to hear how her colleagues have behaved “because that's not in my experience — I've been a journalist for more than 30 years, and I've honestly never seen anything like it.”

She also wondered:

I mean, what about the voice of the Iraqi people? What about the voice of the Yemenis and the Syrians and all of the people across the region who have been celebrating Qasem Soleimani's death? Yet you won't see them out on the streets of Tehran, right? You’re not going to see this great display because they are afraid. They are still afraid of what Iran's proxy forces and what the Revolutionary Guards are capable of.

Ingraham then read two of the more absurd, pro-Iran tweets from the liberal media (one from The New York Times, the other being that infamous Time magazine tweet) and praised Logan for having not only “spent so much time in the region” but “sacrificed personally at the hands of some of these brutal thugs.”

Logan reiterated her disappointment, ruling that “perhaps what American journalists are forgetting at this moment is things like, for example, when I was living in Baghdad for five years right” when, at one point, “[o]ne of the Revolutionary Guards proxy forces, one of the Iranian militias in Iraq” were tasked with “hunt[ing] down every Iraqi pilot that flew missions in the Iran-Iraq War.”

All told, she recalled that they killed “according to the U.S. embassy, 2,500 Sunnis.”

She then added in graphic detail (click “expand”):

[Their] preferred method to kill them was to drill holes in their heads while they were alive. We would go into mosques, Shiite mosques where there would be meat hooks on the wall that the Iranian militias used to hang people there...I lost count of the number of bodies that we covered, you know, turned up in dumpsters all across Baghdad. I mean, so — so it’s — what's odd to me is that there are many of reporters who have worked in the region, there are reporters who have been to Syria who know what the people of Syria have suffered and Qasem Soleimani, you know, one of the things he did, Chris Matthews said he wasn't operational. What is that based on? Based on what? Because Qasem Soleimani like to put out pictures of himself. The Iranians released pictures of him on the battlefield of Syria, on the battlefield in Yemen, on the battlefield in Iraq. You know, this was part of it. There wasn't an Iraqi or a person in the Middle East that didn't know the name of Qasem Soleimani and perhaps, you know, the strength of the reaction from Iran is kind of an indication of how significant he was, because they — the Iranian government uses terrorism as a — as a form of statecraft, right? They're the only government in the world that does that to that degree. That is why they were designated as a foreign terrorist organization. Why designate them if you're not going to treat them as terrorists?

Leading up to that discussion, Ingraham aired a slew of clips pointing how, as we’ve done at NewsBusters, the liberal media have spent the week acting as “American propagandists” for the anti-America, anti-LGBTQ, anti-Semitic, and undemocratic Iranian regime.

Ingraham added that “the media [are] validating Trump's criticism” about hatred for the President “because their analysis, basically the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

Her were a smattering of her takes between clips (click “expand”):

How does Martha Raddatz not challenge the Iranian foreign minister's assertions there? It's ridiculous. Last November, thousands of Iranians were in the streets protesting their government, the biggest civil demonstration in 40 years. 1,500 of them were killed by Iranian forces, including Revolutionary Guard forces led by Soleimani himself, but now we’re supposed to believe that the whole country is united over the death of someone who, not only ended up helping engineer the deaths of Americans in Iraq, but who oppressed the Iranians. Well, yeah, you will think that if you watch CNN and MSNBC. (....) Amazingly, though, despite Iran's brutal repression of true democracy, the left is portraying Trump as the tyrant. (....) They are actually now parroting Iranian talking points. (....) Is this really journalism? Maybe the phrase “the enemy of the people” is harsh. Yeah, it's harsh, but ignoring inconvenient facts isn't what real journalists are supposed to do. If they're loathe to give Trump the benefit of the doubt, why are they so willing to afford Iran that luxury?
