I want to Howard Kurtz in his coverage of the Lara Logan assault and media harassment of this female journalist.

HOWARD KURTZ, HOST: (click title for transcript - thank you) With the constant churn of criticism directed at journalists, it's also easy to forget how some of them go to dangerous places and risk their lives. The latest reminder, an unspeakable assault against Lara Logan by a Cairo mob that left the CBS correspondent hospitalized. Is this kind of reporting simply more dangerous for female correspondents? Is it getting too much attention? And why on earth are some loudmouths mocking her?...

Mr. Kurtz I have finally witnessed the defense of women's rights in journalism which upholds not just their dignity, equality, but, their ambitions. 

I thank you a great deal.  You and your well spoken panel were outstanding this morning. 

Great job everyone.
