Never in an entire Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalism career, one in which her life was repeatedly threatened and she was gang-raped by an estimated 200 to 300 men, did anyone ever tell Lara Logan that she was "good" at her job.

Speaking on Tuesday at Financial Advisor's 5th Annual Invest In Women conference in Atlanta, Logan spent the better part of 40 minutes accusing the mainstream media of pursuing its own, often left-wing agenda, presenting opinions masquerading as facts while creating a pernicious culture of backstabbing and deceit from behind the camera. She painted a poisonous portrait of the workplace environment in mainstream media outlets like CBS and CNN that rivaled the worst corporate cultures imaginable.

At CBS News's offices in London, many of the producers disparaged the broadcasters behind their backs, Logan told attendees. After winning an Emmy Award at CBS, Logan herself was forced to issue on-air corrections when the network allegedly claimed that a story attributed to her source (whose identity was altered for his protection) about Benghazi didn't square with his own version of the facts. Logan indicated to attendees she still disputed the CBS version of the events.

Logan said the staff at 60 Minutes "treated me like a little girl." When she worked at CNN, she believed a lot of people "wanted my job."

In an angry, wide-ranging talk, Logan, who is now a reporter covering the U.S. border for Sinclair Broadcast Group, decried current media coverage of the ongoing crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. On Tuesday morning, Logan said she saw stories on both CNN and Fox News arguing that the Trump administration was acting in an inhumane fashion to raise fees and other charges on refugees seeking asylum.

These refugees, or someone else, are "paying smugglers and cartels" to gain them entry into the United States, Logan said. In light of that, she asked why shouldn't they pay the U.S.? The only people or entity not getting paid in the entire refugee drama is the U.S. government, in her view.

Logan did reserve praise for some of her colleagues. In particular, she cited a CBS colleague named Ray Jackson who, together with several Egyptian soldiers, managed to rescue her when she was gang-raped by a Cairo mob. At that moment, she expected to die.

Logan has spent much of her life in global hotspot. Growing up in South Africa as it was emerging from apartheid, "I felt an intense amount of pain," she said. In her first job in television, she worked with a number of black men, virtually all of whom had a criminal record and had served time in prison. "None had [ever] committed a crime," she declared.

One broadcaster she singled out for criticism was CNN's Don Lemon. According to Logan, Lemon said that "white men were the greatest terrorist threat in America today."

Logan considered Lemon's opinion to be absurd. In her view, the greatest terrorist threat to Americans continues to come from people following the "same ideology" that was established by Al Qaeda and brought home to the United States on September 11, 2001.
