Interesting incident involving Lara Logan / Benghazi…
She got duped(?), aired a story with some innacuracies / spoopy source, and then actually fessed up and apologised..
She was given a leave of absence for the innacurate reporting (not vetting sources).

"Logan protested these reports as sexist. But she was also open-eyed about the uses of sex in her profession—it was a tactic, and not to use it would be stupid. “Men play on the military thing, they play on the macho thing, they play on the brotherhood thing,” she told a reporter. “No one accuses them of using gender to their advantage. The fact is that sometimes being a woman can open doors for you, but more often than not it makes things more difficult.” "
