@51516 But she really didnt need to be there, she took an unnecassary risk for her own profit, and as it turned out, she didnt expect anything to actually go wrong.

Thats just stupid, and it should make us think again about her earlier reports, and i should laso make us consider, why we only consumate the news channels with the most impressive pictures and not the most impressive information.

I do feel sorry for her being gangraped, but it was partly her own fault.

So i kinda understand nir here

@51516 pictures, since they sell better. So this blonde woman is positioning herself in the middle of an angry crowd of poor egyptian men, who hate nothing more than Isarel and the Cia, and starts broadcasting from there in English.

I just gotta say thats more than stupid, as a war reporter she should have had a little bit more of interculutural awareness.

Also its not like she was following a conspirancy or anything, it was just for a nice tv-pic.

Of course its wrong to gangrape here.

@51516 Obviously that wouldnt be usual business in the US, but i do think he has a point. Why did she have to be in a crowd of angry men, showing off by their interpretation? Every guidebook on the middle east is very clear about what to wear and what not, and i think shes was pretty much playing with fire here. Which sane newsagency would have send a white reporter into somalia in the last 6 years?

Also, obviously shes not there to report something or whatever, but get the most spectaluar

Oh, I see. Lara Logan was being insensitive eh? I think I'll not take any advice from a rapist apologist of your ilk. Thanks.

@51516 So he was "insensitive" so he deserves to be sodomized? Stop being such a media tool . Stop thinking like a psychopath. If insensitivity is an indicator of someone deserving to be raped or killed then Lara Logan got what she deserved right? And you would deserve the same thing, right? I mean where does it stop when you think like you do? Turn your TV off and start thinking for yourself please.

Nir Rosen was the only one willing to speak out against the lies by Lara Logan. Good for this guy! All her tool friends backed her up though, trying to create more American frenzied hatred. Lara Logan's story has changed so many times it is absurd.

[51516]

@gasmurrin True enough. However this particular messenger made insensitive "Tweets" about the sexual assault of CBS news correspondent Lara logan in Egypt. Therefore, he deserves a good old fashioned Syrian style sodomising. Indeed the U.S has fucked alot of things in the world, but we don't much go for gang raping journalists.

[gasmurrin]

@51516 Being against the messenger does not undo how the US fucked the whole thing.

Fuck You Rosen!!! Hope you get killed in some godforsaken warzone!!!
