Since Fox Nation host Lara Logan compared Dr. Anthony Fauci to a Nazi war criminal last November, she has all but disappeared from Fox airwaves. In fact, it would appear as though the conservative cable giant took a stand on her increasingly unhinged rhetoric and cut ties with the once-respected journalist.
But even Logan is in the dark on where she now stands with Fox News. “I don’t really know,” she admitted during a podcast interview last week.
The former 60 Minutes correspondent, who since 2019 has hosted Lara Logan Has No Agenda on Fox’s digital streaming service Fox Nation, has yet to make a single appearance across Fox News Media platforms since her Fauci comments. Her Fox Nation program has not aired any new episodes and is no longer actively promoted by the network. Even the production company contracted to produce Logan’s series has quietly distanced itself from her.
No stranger to controversy, Logan drew the condemnation of Jewish groups and Holocaust remembrance organizations after declaring Fauci to be like the Nazi physician known as the “Angel of Death,” during a Nov. 29 appearance on Fox News Primetime. “What you see on Dr. Fauci, this is what people say to me, that he doesn’t represent science to them,” she exclaimed. “He represents Josef Mengele. Dr. Josef Mengele, the Nazi doctor who did experiments on Jews during the Second World War and in the concentration camps.”
Logan continued to stoke outrage by doubling down on social media, at one point attempting to beef with the Auschwitz Museum
Reached by The Daily Beast this week, Logan declined to comment, instead publishing to Twitter a text message sent to her by one of the reporters of this story. “What do you think? Likely to be an honest attempt at real journalism or a hit piece?” Logan captioned the tweet, before sharing an anti-vaccine conspiracy site’s unhinged blog post accusing The Daily Beast of being a CIA plant.
The network has not once publicly remarked on Logan, despite how she’d been a frequent on-air presence and her digital show was featured prominently in promos for Fox Nation. Rather than make any on-record statements, the network merely noted to media outlets that Logan was an “unpaid guest” who hadn’t appeared on-air since the ordeal. And the network’s public silence continued even after Fauci himself said he was “astounded” that Fox hadn’t punished Logan for her “totally slanderous” comments.
Warm Springs Production, the company that produces Lara Logan Has No Agenda, has been similarly tight-lipped. The company has not responded to repeated requests for comment, but it did remove No Agenda from both the Warm Springs show schedule and the list of shows produced by the company. (Two of the Montana-based firm’s productions—How America Works and American Dream Home—currently run in primetime on Fox News sister channel, the Fox Business Network.)
Representatives for both Warm Springs Production and Fox News did not immediately respond to requests for comment on this story.
But with media critics proclaiming she’d been “secretly sidelined,” a Fox anchor brutally subtweeting her, and her absence from the network becoming highly conspicuous, Logan finally spoke out about the situation this month.
In a nearly two-hour conversation with Ivory Hecker, the former Fox 26 Houston reporter who infamously ended her career by secretly recording her bosses for right-wing activist group Project Veritas, Logan acknowledged it’s “absolutely true” that she has not appeared on Fox News since November.
Logan also confirmed she was an “unpaid guest” during her many appearances across the network, even after she began hosting her Fox Nation program.
“I do and have done a lot of work on Fox News over the last few years and I’ve really enjoyed it, actually, because so many of the hosts and anchors are just, you know, they’re really amazing and they have been so gracious with me and we respect each other,” she told Hecker. “But I would say to you that it’s a lot of work—and I have never been, I’m not paid for that. I was paid to do my series on Fox Nation. And there’s an obvious benefit there.”
Noting that Logan still lists herself as the show’s host on her Twitter bio, Hecker wondered if the ex-60 Minutes reporter is at least still associated with Fox Nation.
“Well, I don’t know at this point how that’s going to turn out. I’m not very good at updating those things. I think you can probably find a Facebook page that still has me listed as a 60 Minutes correspondent,” Logan replied, adding: “So, I don’t really care about the details. Of course, I’ll update it. I want it to be accurate, and when we figure it out, I will definitely do that.”
Later in the interview, Hecker suggested Fox has “created a pickle for itself,” because while the network ostensibly did not “like the headlines” caused by Logan’s comments, they also don’t want to risk angering loyal right-wing viewers by publicly disowning her.
“Fox is saying, like, ‘Oh, what’s gonna cause us less drama?’ It seems like that’s where you are at right now, that you’re kind of in this limbo. Is that what’s going on?” Hecker asked.
“I don’t really know, to be honest, because, you know, I’m not on their payroll,” Logan answered. “So I, you know, I’m not in communication with them.”
Elsewhere, Logan confirmed that she was never “hired by Fox Nation,” and was instead “paid through a production company,” referring to Warm Springs. However, she claimed, there were talks about bringing Logan onto the Fox Nation payroll. “It may happen, it may not happen. I don’t know,” she said.
Logan also confessed that while “it would be the greatest thing if there was a nationwide uproar if I’m not on their air,” her more “realistic” assessment is that “everyone is expendable” to a certain degree. “And so while people may not agree with it or maybe not like it, how many of them will actually stop watching Fox?” she conceded.
“I guess we’ll just have to wait and see if Fox Nation has you back on,” Hecker concluded. “It would be really dumb of them not to. I think they’ll lose viewers for it.”
“They might not care!” Logan exclaimed. “They just might not care.”
Logan’s situation ultimately seems to parallel the one that befell right-wing vloggers Diamond & Silk. The MAGA diehard siblings came under fire in April 2020 for peddling a wide range of unhinged COVID-19 conspiracy theories, prompting Fox to completely cut ties with them.
Though the pair had been providing weekly videos to Fox Nation since the service’s 2018 launch, they were never actually Fox employees. Instead, Fox News paid them to license their content on the digital platform.
The network, in the end, never once publicly commented on Diamond & Silk falling out with Fox —just as they’ve remained mum on Logan.

Given what fauci has orchestrated in his animal torture laboratories, I think this comparison has merit.
His animal experiments, as uncovered by white coast waste project, have been unnecessary, non-productive, barbaric, inhumane and criminal.
And why it hasn’t been more reported by our “wonderful” mainstream media is typical…..but still despicable!!!
I agree with you. Cutting our voice boxes of precious beagle puppies so they could not hear them cry while they tortured for 3 or 4 months. But, this was not his first time doing!!! Finally exposed. 1.68 million of tax payers money and the tests resulted in nothing but if you put a puppies head in box full of sand flies, yes it will die!! The sand fleas eat off face and brain. I don’t think he deserves what close to 380,000 a year pension when he retires this year. I think we need to stop him from receiving!!
The very 1st thing we should do is cut Fauci,s lieing tongue out of his mouth, & let him loose in the desert with no water. How can anyone do his to poor dogs? Fauci will get to spend the rest of his after world in hell…Dog spelled backwards…GOD.
Yes Sam! The Italian pee wee, as soon as he meets his Maker, will be sent to a neighborhood, where HE WILL PAY FOR HIS CRIMES, FOR ETERNITY! And I hope he suffers as much, if not more, from the death of all the folks he killed, and all the puppies he tortured! Dress light, moron, it’s really hot where you’re going!
Dr. Mengele claimed to be promoting science with his experiments. The prisoners were just convenient subjects. Dr. Fauci also claims to be promoting science but tends to only mention the studies that show him in a positive light. At least Dr. Mengele was open and honest about his work.
Yeah, there’s nothing better than an open and honest NAZI! LOL Where is your head?
I would believe Lara Logan before I would believe Fauci. This is exactly why I quit watching FOX they disgust me.
I can understand people having compassion on animals, but these dogs that Fauci has abused hardly warrants mention compared to all the people he has murdered with his reckless vaccine experiments, first in the Philippines, and now in the rest of the world. At one time, not too long ago fauci would have been executed for his crimes, and justifiably. But now because the world is so evil and full of fools, he is a hero even though his” vaccination experiments “ have been a total failure as far as stopping the Covid virus, but has been a great leaping step in proving how stupid the masses are. As far as Laura Logan goes, faucci could never hope to have as big a balls as she has. And he has a pea of a brain also for such a one whom professes himself to be so wise, otherwise he could put some reporter in her place and wouldn’t have to go wineing about the true likenesses she stated and consort with his corrupt media police to do it for him.
Fauci is Dr. Mengele. Fauci should be in jail, period!
He IS mengele! Jail? NO! DEATH PENALTY!
