On the Assault of Lara Logan

Salon has published a poignant piece of media criticism pointing to some offensive statements by bloggers about the sexual assault and beating of CBS reporter Lara Logan while she was covering the protests in Egypt.

Commentators have let fly some sexist, racist remarks about her assault, along the lines of "she's hot" and "they're savages" -- so, you know, she got what was coming to her.
