CBS’ Lara Logan granted an exclusive interview to the NY Daily News, opening up about the aftermath of the brutal attack she sustained in Egypt nearly one year ago, including her struggle with posttraumatic stress disorder.

HBO’s Bill Maher paid a little visit to E!’s Chelsea Lately, where he revisited a certain pesky little story that has been following him around for nearly a year now. Maher told host Chelsea Handler that his February 2011 joke involving The View‘s Elisabeth Hasselbeck and CBS’ Lara Logan had not been in reference to the sexual violence Logan endured while covering the uprising in Egypt. Maher, for those who don’t remember, joked that the U.S. should trade Hasselbeck for Logan, who had been captured the day before.

Things got very, very uncomfortable today over at The View thanks to an appearance by Bill Maher. Last February on Real Time, Maher had made a joke that, were Hosni Mubarak to release the then-captured Lara Logan, they could trade him Elizabeth Hasselbeck. At the time, Hasselbeck had been furious, starting a mini feud that an unrepentant Maher seemed to have no interest in fighting.

In a deeply personal and moving segment that aired on 60 Minutes Sunday night, CBS News correspondent Lara Logan claimed that she thought she was going to die that night in Tahrir Square. “For an extended period of time, they raped me with their hands,” Logan showed great personal courage in sharing specific details, and recovering from an attack that she claims lasted 40 minutes and involved 200 to 300 men.

CBS News correspondent Lara Logan says she thought she was going to die that night in Tahrir Square. “For an extended period of time, they raped me with their hands,” Logan tells The New York Times in her first public comments about the brutal attack. Logan tells the Times the attack lasted 40 minutes and involved 200 to 300 men. She will talk about it on 60 Minutes this Sunday.

For most Americans up-to-date on current events, the recent wave of Middle East reports has been both jarring and commendable, with journalists routinely putting their lives on the line to bring home the most compelling reports. But not all in the media managed to avoid falling victim to their own cynicism from their nice comfy offices, in particular GQ editor Jim Nelson. In this month’s issue, Nelson chose to mock “important-looking Caucasians” and that “handsome young black reporter” on cable news for daring to care about foreign developments.

A protest planned by Egyptian-American activist Karim Mohy, who hopes the demonstration will put pressure on the Egyptian government to bring CBS correspondent Lara Logan‘s attackers to justice, is being met with some opposition.

As CBS correspondent Lara Logan continues to bravely recover, still enduring massive amounts of physical and psychological trauma after being sexually assaulted and beaten in Egypt, a “journalist” named Témoris Grecko is now suggesting that CBS may have altered or outright fabricated details of her attack in Tahrir Square. That’s right, he is speculating that CBS invented the assault because “this account does not fit with what I, and others, witnessed.”

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D) of Texas is, understandably, upset over the attack and sexual assault sustained by Lara Logan as the CBS correspondent covered celebrations in Cairo’s Tahrir Square. Unlike other politicians and media figures who have spoken out about the attack, however, Jackson Lee has a unique proposal: She wants the Egyptian government (she’s unclear about whether she specifically means ousted president Hosni Mubarak‘s former government) to issue an explanation for the attack – which, according a recent report from Britain’s The Daily News, was at least partially instigated by reports Egyptian state-run media claiming foreign journalists covering the revolution were Israeli spies.

Scary new details have emerged about the attack upon CBS News reporter Lara Logan in Tahrir Square in the hours that followed Hosni Mubarak‘s resignation as president of Egypt. The attack occurred at the hands of jubilant celebrators of the Egyptian Uprising that turned very ugly towards Logan and sent her to a U.S. hospital for five days. The report suggests that the reason behind the attack on Logan was in part reports that came from Egyptian state run media that claimed foreign journalists covering the Egyptian revolution were Israeli spies.

Since the uprising in Egypt, most who’ve followed the story have said Al Jazeera–on air and online–has had stellar coverage, with the news network showing off its tremendous resources in covering the Middle East. U.S. viewers don’t get AJ on cable, but don’t bother going to the Al Jazeera website in search of news about the brutal attack on CBS News correspondent Lara Logan. You won’t find it mentioned. Not one story. To Al Jazeera, it seems, the attack on Logan never happened.

If you think it’s brutal out on foreign streets during a revolution, try going online sometime. While generally not physically dangerous, the internet is full of brutal people, most masked behind a cloak of anonymity. Over the last several days there has been a deluge of opinion pieces and news reports about the sexual assault of CBS’s Lara Logan in Cairo’s Tahrir Square. It’s big news, so that’s not surprising, but the number of reader comments blaming Logan for the attack is disturbing.

Hollywood Life, a website covering celebrity gossip for a female audience – describing itself as “Your Celebrity News, Gossip & Style BFF” – is weighing in on Logan’s attack, asking whether it was “irresponsible” of Logan, a mother of two, to “put herself” in such a situation. Gossip Cop, which devotes itself to “busting bad dish,” noted the incongruity of a site catering to women essentially placing blame a female victim of sexual assault.

During last night’s interview with Nir Rosen on Anderson Cooper 360, Cooper may have conducted an intelligent interrogation of Rosen regarding his insensitive Twitter comments, however, the controversy now bubbling up from that interview has nothing to do with Rosen or Cooper. Instead, the curious alterations made to a photo of CBS’ Lara Logan have left some scratching their heads.

On last night’s episode of Hannity, host Sean Hannity covered Lara Logan’s attack in Egypt, bringing on conservative pundit and writer Michelle Malkin to weigh in. In describing Logan’s attack, Hannity mentioned a detail from The New York Post that hasn’t been widely reported, not to our knowledge anyway: That Logan’s attackers cried “Jew! Jew!” until she was eventually rescued by a group of women and members of the Egyptian military.

The violent sexual assault CBS correspondent Lara Logan sustained while covering celebrations in Cairo’s Tahrir Square led many to wonder about the safety of journalists – particularly female reporters – as they cover tense situations in foreign countries.

ABC News correspondent Ashleigh Banfield addresses those concerns head-on in a column she penned for The New York Post, telling concerned readers that sexual violence against female reporters are a “sad little secret”… that may not be so secret after all.

On Anderson Cooper 360 tonight, CNN host Anderson Cooper confronted Nir Rosen over the controversial Tweets he made about CBS correspondent Lara Logan‘s recent attack and sexual assault in Egypt. Rosen, you may recall, recently resigned from his post as a NYU fellow after his Tweets about Logan’s attack drew heavy criticism.

Tragic news broke yesterday that CBS News’ Lara Logan was victim to a sustained a brutal sexual attack at the hands of a dangerous element amidst the celebration in Cairo’s Tahrir Square. The news brought universal condemnation and empathy from Logan’s media peers, but it also seemed to also bring the worst out in some people as well. Take for example now former NYU Fellow Nir Rosen , who took to his Twitter feed to make what he later claimed to be inappropriate jokes that he soon deleted. In the firestorm of controversy that followed, Rosen offered his resignation, which NYU readily accepted.

MSNBC’s Morning Joe took on the disturbing story of the brutal attack on CBS correspondent Lara Logan, with Willie Geist describing Logan as “tough as hell.”

Mika Brzezinski, who was visibly upset describing the few details that are known about the story, credited Logan for the “very tough decision of going public” with the story of the attack and said she was praying for her.

The day before the brutal attack on CBS correspondent Lara Logan, the journalist gave an interview to Esquire‘s Foster Kamer, talking about security for herself and her team in Egypt and the time she spent in police detention during her previous visit to the country just days earlier.

Kamer interviewed Logan on the flight to Cairo February 10, one day ahead of the brutal attack and sexual assault by a mob that’s left Logan hospitalized back home in the U.S..

CBS News has released a statement confirming that correspondent Lara Logan was subjected to a horrible attack amid the celebrations in Egypt February 11, the day Hosni Mubarak stepped down.

According to the CBS statement, Logan “was covering the jubilation in Tahrir Square for a 60 Minutes story when she and her team and their security were surrounded by a dangerous element amidst the celebration.” Logan was separated from the CBS crew and security team and attacked:

CBS News correspondent Lara Logan and her two-person crew have all been released from detention in Egypt. The CBS crew was taken into custody Thursday amid a roundup of journalists–some of whom were beaten and threatened with death.

Logan, who serves as CBS News’ chief foreign affairs correspondent, was covering the uprising in Cairo with CBS crewmembers Don Lee and Max McClellan when they were confronted and arrested.

TIME is reporting that CBS News correspondent Lara Logan has been detained by Egyptian police outside the Israeli embassy in Cairo. According to TIME, CBS News has refused to comment in any way on the report for security reasons.

Before Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer had time to share his cheerful holiday poem, CBS Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent Lara Logan, provided viewers with a sobering reality about the ongoing war on terror. In addition to saying everyone knows Osama bin Laden is in Pakistan, she also claimed most other terrorist leaders are hiding out there as well, and displayed disappointment with U.S. foreign policy for not more aggressively handling the situation.

In the aftermath of Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s firing and inevitable resignation, Michael Hastings has appeared on a few programs defending himself. However, one of his most vocal defenders has been his fellow Rolling Stone writer Matt Taibbi. Having previously written a response to David Brooks’ comment on the subject, Taibbi published a response today to CBS’ Lara Logan where he did not mince words. How unminced was it? Well, the blog post was entitled, “Lara Logan, You Suck.”
