In 2013, a story of Logan's on the 2012 Benghazi attack caused significant controversy due to factual errors and was retracted, resulting in a leave of absence.
After her departure from CBS, Logan began to make wide-ranging claims on a variety of conspiracy theories regarding topics such as the AIDS virus or the Rothschild family.
[4] Since June 2022, Logan has been a board member of America's Future, a conservative nonprofit chaired by former Trump administration official Michael Flynn.
She worked for CNN, reporting on incidents such as the 1998 United States embassy bombings in Nairobi and Tanzania, the conflict in Northern Ireland, and the Kosovo War.
Days after the September 11 attacks, she asked a clerk at the Russian Embassy in London to give her a visa to travel to Afghanistan.
In November 2001, while in Afghanistan working for GMTV, she infiltrated the American-British-backed Northern Alliance and interviewed their commander, General Babajan, at the Bagram Air Base.
She spent much of the next four years reporting from the battlefield, including war zones in Afghanistan and Iraq, often embedded with the United States Armed Forces.
[19][20] To reverse the decision, Logan enlisted public support, asking people to watch the story and pass the link to as many of their friends and acquaintances as possible, saying, "It should be seen".
[20][21] Logan was criticized in June 2010 for her remarks about another journalist, Michael Hastings, and her view that reporters who embed with the military ought not to write about the general banter they hear.
One of the Egyptian CBS crew suggested they leave, telling her later he heard the crowd make inappropriate sexual comments about her.
One woman wearing a chador put her arms around Logan, and the others closed ranks around her, while some men who were with the women threw water at the crowd.
[31][32] In October 2012, Logan delivered a speech before the annual luncheon of the Better Government Association in which she sharply criticized the Obama administration's statements about the War in Afghanistan and other conflicts in the Arab world.
[35] On 8 November 2013, Logan went on CBS This Morning to apologize for an inaccurate 60 Minutes report about the Benghazi attack, which had aired on 27 October.
She indicated that an investigation uncovered that the source of much of her reporting was inaccurate and blamed it on Dylan Davies, manager of the local guard force at the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi.
[13][37] Al Ortiz, executive director of Standards and Practices for CBS News, wrote in a memo, "Logan made a speech in which she took a strong public position arguing that the U.S. Government was misrepresenting the threat from Al Qaeda, and urging actions that the U.S. should take in response to the Benghazi attack.
From a CBS News Standards perspective, there is a conflict in taking a public position on the government’s handling of Benghazi and Al Qaeda, while continuing to report on the story.
The Los Angeles Times observed that "Despite the 'No Agenda' slogan, Logan does plan to wade back into the topic of media bias.
[45] On 4 June 2020, Logan appeared on Hannity to claim that antifa was leaving "pallets of bricks" at protest sites in an attempt to stoke violence and destruction.
[45] In September 2021, Logan accused the Biden administration of "hiding evidence" of side effects supposedly caused by the COVID-19 vaccine.
[50] During a December 2021 interview with MSNBC, Fauci called Logan's remarks "absolutely preposterous and disgusting", and criticized Fox News for not taking disciplinary action against her.
She praised Russian President Vladimir Putin for "not going to stand by while the globalists take over the world" and accused Ukrainians of being "actual Nazis".
[55][56][57][58] In March 2022, Logan claimed without evidence that Charles Darwin was employed by the Rothschild family to create his theory of evolution.
[59] She also promoted claims that the Rothschild family, a frequent target of antisemitic conspiracy theories, engineered the American Civil War and the assassinations of Abraham Lincoln and John F.
[60] In 1998, Logan married Jason Siemon, an American from Iowa playing professional basketball in the UK; the marriage ended in divorce in 2008.
