Schlusel who are basically blaming lara logan for what happened to her because she dared to go report on islam rather than treating it as this sexist, brutal religion. and i'd like to see those people come in for a little bit of criticism and examination, too. it's not just what nir said on twitter. >> ashleigh, what do you think the response to all of it -- all these different comments that have been made online, what do you think it says about the way people view, i don't know if it's reporters or female reporters or, you know, sexual assault on women? >> i think, first of all, people need t...

>> what people are going to have to decide is whether your apology is real and heartfelt and they'll do that based on whether they think you're being honest in your explanation of what happened. again, i want to ask you, are you standing by the idea that you did not know she was sexually assaulted? because in your first tweet, it makes it sound like you were saying she was one upping the minor assault that i had and that it would be funny if that happened to me. and then you did link to the cbs news article that was very clear about the nature of her assault and the fact that she was in a hosp...
