4. Nir Rosen
Rosen is a veteran war correspondent who has garnered praise for his reporting from Iraq and the Middle East. But he ran into trouble when he tweeted about Lara Logan's sexual assault.
He apologized for his tweets about Lara Logan, and said that a man should never joke about women being abused or harassed. Rosen further said that what began as "black humor" led to statements. He also said that he has "quite radical" views on women's rights, and that he has spent years reporting on the suppression of women's rights. "By joking around with some friends I betrayed all that and betrayed my family, friends and supports, and I brought shame upon myself and them," he said.
Following the incident Nir Rosen had to resigned his fellowship at New York University.
