Lara Logan has landed a new gig.
The former “60 Minutes” correspondent is joining the Sinclair Broadcasting Group as a correspondent, according to multiple reports.
Logan will primarily report on news from the southern border with Mexico.
“The mandate is to just go down there and come back with great stories,” Logan told The Hollywood Reporter. “That’s it. … I never expected that at this point in my career, after all these years, I would have that kind of freedom.”
Since leaving CBS, Logan has been an outspoken critic of national media outlets, specifically their coverage of national politics.
She has railed against what she calls an “organized propaganda machine” that operates from a place of implicit bias and hurts public discourse.

During an interview with conservative commentator Mark Levin on Sunday, Logan said the American people are aware of this phenomenon, leading to distrust in media.
“They lack the context, they lack a lot of the information to know exactly the extent of how they are being deceived and manipulated but they know in their guts,” Logan said. “Whether they are Democrats or Republicans who are lining up to have this conversation. Who know something is not right.”
In 2013, Logan was forced to apologize following a dubious report on the attack at the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi.
