Mob That Attacked Lara Logan Yelled "Jew! Jew!;" Networks Covered This Up to Focus on Mubarak

The Examiner website reports today (February 17, 2011) that on the night of February 11 -- after Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak resigned -- CBS News correspondent Lara Logan was repeatedly sexually assaulted and beaten by a group of 200 thugs who shouted "Jew! Jew!"

In their newscasts, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, and Fox News all left out the fact that Egyptians who assaulted Logan were motivated by hatred of Jews, as indicated by their taunts while the attack took place.

Moreover, no one in the crowd came to Logan's aid. She was finally helped by a few Egyptian soldiers and a group of women.

Why did all of the major TV networks cover up this anti-Semitism? They probably covered it up because the Egyptian protests were focused on the liberation of Egypt from an oppressive dictator, and not on anti-Semitism. Had the networks reported the incident, the focus would have shifted to Egyptian attitudes toward neighboring Israel and toward women in general.
