They apologized for using a tainted source -- who they have yet to say was lying to them, because they don't believe he was lying to them -- but they have not at any point in any way said the story was actually wrong. Bringing her back is confirmation that CBS stands behind the Benghazi story.

Logan is an...This isn't about the club at all.<br /><br />Logan is an attractive woman and a rising star. For those reasons CBS would have to be insane to fire her. Another network would pick her up and CBS would suffer. Beyond that she was the victim of a sexual assault. This makes firing her a PR disaster with interest groups that could make life hell for CBS, and would allow an attractive sexual assault woman to go on another network and bash CBS for failing a female sexual assault victim. The woman could start boiling babies alive on TV and it wouldn't be bad enough to give CBS cover.<br /><br />Now normally this sorts of situations are "fixed" by "promoting" someone to a Midwest subsidiary. They get a nice raise and fancy title, but they are finished in big leagues on the coast. The stench of flyover is a career ender. Everyone knows you send fuck ups, failures, and complete human trash out to flyover. Once banished that's it. Sadly for CBS, this isn't really possible given how they are structured.<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-68133591687778453122013-12-18T09:17:09.302-06:002013-12-18T09:17:09.302-06:00I think we both expected everyone would act as if ...I think we both expected everyone would act as if nothing happened and go back to business as usual once the great eye had turned elsewhere.<br /><br />We had the Stone Age, The Bronze Age, The Gilded Age and now the No Consequences Age.
