Cooper punched in the head as Couric and Amanpour are attacked by protesters in Egypt
MSM standards are slipping badly. In the good old days we could have an intelligent newscast from say CNN based on their censorship deal with Saddam. Now all we get are hysterical news clips of Cooper getting his coiffured locks ruffled and Katie and Christiane getting hassled by the crowd. Sigh!!We watch them every night, often reporting from exotic and far-flung lands - but rarely do we see America's newscasters in actual physical danger. The escalating crisis in Egypt, it seems, is breaking the mould as footage of three of America's best known news broadcasters coming under attack in Cairo emerged. First, CNN journalist Anderson Cooper was punched in the head ten times by angry pro-Hosni Mubarak supports while reporting on Egypt's domestic crisis. Then footage of CBS news anchor Katie Couric and ABC news anchor Christiane Amanpour being roughly jostled by the crowd also emerged yesterday. Scroll down for video Posted by: tipper 2011-02-03 |
