UPDATE FRIDAY: Greg Palkot this morning wrote a pretty fascinating firsthand account of the ordeal. Read it here: 
PREVIOUS: FOX News Channel’s veteran foreign correspondent Greg Palkot and his camerman Olaf Wiig have suffered severe injuries in Cairo while covering the unrest in the Egypt capital. Palkot was badly beaten and Wiig has a possible broken jaw after being attacked by pro-Hosni Mubarak supporters yesterday. Both were hospitalized overnight. Out of concern for the safety of its journalists, Fox News kept the incident a secret until their release from the hospital today. Now more details explaining the network’s decision to keep the attack quiet have emerged. Sources at Fox News confirm that at the hospital, Palkot and Wiig were detained by military police and accused of being Israeli spies, prompting the network’s executives to seek help from the State Department. In 2007, the same camerman, Olaf Wiig, was taken hostage in the Gaza strip with correspondent Steve Centanni. They were released 2 weeks later.
This marks the most brazen attack yet on American journalists in Egypt where violence has been escalating, with 10 anti-Hosni Mubarak protesters killed over the past 24 hours in Tahrir Square alone. Yesterday, CNN’s Anderson Cooper and ABC News’ Christiane Amanpour and CBS News’ Katie Couric were confronted by angry mobs supporting Mubarak but left largely unscathed. Additionally, an ABC News crew was carjacked by angry Egyptian men and threatened with beheading before a Lebanese-born camerman Akram Abi-hanna was able to talk the carjackers into releasing them. The Egyptian military has been rounding up foreign journalists, possibly for their own protection, and keeping them away from the areas of intense fighting.
UPDATE: On air, Fox News’ John Roberts just gave more details about the incident involving Palkot and Wiig. “Greg Palkot who you have seen with all his amazing coverage of the protest for the last few days and Olaf Wiig, his dedicated cameraman, were above Tahrir Square yesterday, reporting on the incidents going on there, reporting on the back and forth between the demonstrators and pro government forces,” Roberts said. “They were forced to leave their position when a Molotov cocktail was thrown at it, a large fire erupted. They were forced to flee. They ran out and ran right into the pro Mubarak crowd and were severely beaten and had to be taken to the hospital, spent the night in the hospital. The extent of their injuries was fairly grave, however, they have been released from the hospital.” Here is the complete video:

I have confirmed this with another Fox correspondent. Palkot was badly beaten and they worried about his life. He is said to be doing better.
Have been watching both Fox News and Fox Business channels for over the last hour and not a mention of any of this. WHY?
1:30 p.m. EST Fox News channel “TOP STORY” is the attempt by Virginia AG to fast track Healthcare lawsuit to the Supreme Court— and the follow on arguments pro and con.
NO MENTION of Palkot or the Fox News employees in Egypt. One would think some of their crew getting beaten by Egyptian thugs would lead the newscast— or at least a mention. NOTHING.
learn to read: the answer to your question is in the story.
illiteracy is a terrible thing
No doubt! Some people read the headlines and react. That’s how we got Obama.
dumb thoughts…how ’bout getting the injured out of harms way prior to reporting about beating you jerk! think.
I think perhaps a question to FNC rather than to us would be a better place to get a proper reply.
What was Fox supposed to say? That it’s “news” team was beaten by the forces Fox supports?
We are waiting for an answer… Rupert Murdoch and co…
Out of concern for the safety of its journalists, Fox News kept the incident a secret until their release from the hospital today.
The reporters are turning this crisis in Egypt to be about them, it seems. Well, that would exclude John Roberts who is reporting from London.
hooray! Somebody here managed to get past the 3rd grade!!
You want an answer? You want an answer?! You can’t handle the answer!
Why is this important? I’m asking! A change in government in Egypt? So what!
We don’t need all that oil anyway. We have green energy! Wind and solar is the answer. Besides any domestic oil drilling takes 10 years and we just wasted two!
And hey, as long as they don’t attack us, just like Iraq never did, then I guess we don’t have to be worried, right? I just can’t figure out why we are attacking Pakistan with Drones when Pakistan never attacked us either??? And wasn’t Gitmo supposed to be closed down now? It’s been two years since Obama’s proclamation! Maybe those in Egypt became riled thanks to an open Gitmo. Hasn’t that been said before! Gitmo is used as a recruiting tool.
Why am I rambling? Because I am making no sense, just like you!
Healthcare is what is being debated in our government because they were voted into office to do so, AND because it is something that our government has control over and that will effect ALL of our lives in the upcoming months and years! A revolution, good or bad, in Egypt is beyond anyones control other than the Egyptian people and the Egyptian army. Injured reporters, I hope get better soon but know that you are ‘not in Kansas anymore, Toto’. It’s not like covering those ruffian TEA Party Patriot mobs and their TEA Party Rally riots!
So I would rather those in power debunk that trash health care law that the American “mob” as we were called by Pelosi, peacefully protested all last summer. Jobs Jobs Jobs was the cry last year and the administration paid lip service, even after the defeat in MASS. with Scott Brown. They crammed through a POS bill now signed into law, just declared unConstitutional but that has never stopped a Democratic politician. Now the Dems are decrying the need to focus is on Jobs Jobs Jobs (it’s too litlle, too late to use that as a valid point) and they say the Republicans are interested in taking away Health Care and then the Dems list off their bullet points that if typed out would take half a page. Then why a 2000+ page bill? And when I’m ill, I think hospital, doctors, nurses, candy stripers, even those that delivers meals and the person that mops the floor. I DO NOT THINK OF AN IRS AGENT AND IRS ACCOUNTABILITY THROWN INTO THE MIX! That is why at 1:30 pm Fox News Top Story had the headline it had!
Here is a sentence in the health care law which I am sure is one of many, “The requirements of sections 2711 (other than subsections (c) and (e)) and 2712 (other than paragraphs (3), and (6) of subsection (b) and subsection (e)) of the Public Health Service Act, relating to guaranteed availability and renewability of health insurance coverage, shall apply to individuals and employers in all individual and group health insurance coverage, whether offered to individuals or employers through the Health Insurance Exchange, through any employment-based health plan, or otherwise, in the same manner as such sections apply to employers and health insurance coverage offered in the small group market, except that such section 2712(b)(1) shall apply only if, before nonrenewal or discontinuation of coverage, the issuer has provided the enrollee with notice of non-payment of premiums and there is a grace period during which the enrollees has an opportunity to correct such nonpayment.”
If you are wise, you’d want this crap repealed and replaced too! It’s just a shame that other “News” organizations don’t press for investigative reporting anymore, instead of the cheerleaders some have become.
You may not have liked it, but there’s your answer!
Your comments are TOO long! No one wants to read a comment as long as “War and Peace!” Keep ‘em succinct!
Brilliant! Muchas gracias.
…satire, right?
No replacement, just repeal! They start replacing this and that and pretty soon the whole darn thing is just as it was. Forget replacement for now, unless starting from scratch, with no earmarks.
THANK YOU CJ BROWN!!! Finally, a voice of reason and logic in this libruhl e-mayhem. Too bad the US edjumacashun system has produced scholars who think your comments are … like you know … for sure … like … too long dude.
And to your point, repeal and replace is the only option for the government-run monstrosity justly named Obamacare. That is, except for those folks who, despite the mountain of evidence to the contrary, believe that having a health care system designed to operate with the same efficiencies as say, the post office, is a good thing.
EGypt. gimmee a break! that country is not even relavant!
USA USA!
Not to defend either side, but when you have thousands of pissed off people throwing fire bombs, bricks and stones with weapons in hand, there is some inherent risk associated with staying there. Journalists are not entitled to special protection, people are getting beaten everywhere.
To carrieann: “No one wants to read…”
How absolutely arrogant does it get for YOU to think or even pretend that you speak for anyone but yourself?
WTF are you to say what I or anyone else wants to read or not read? I’d suggest you read it but I really have doubts as to whether or not you would comprehend it.
If you are too intellectually lazy to read a lengthy post, then don’t read it, but don’t let your sophomoric superiority cause you to make such self-affecting assumptions about your role as a voice for other people.
I agree with you. We become sidetracked on things that we ultimately have no control over and then lose sight of the important issues in our own country. We really can’t afford to do that.
May have rambled a bit, but I read it all. Guess that makes me…what?
Thanks CJ. My eyes glazed over that provision in the health care bill, probably just like those of our legislators in Washington.
I wonder why the news has focused on this matter to the exclusion of almost anything else.
That is why I came to Deadline New York so I could find something OTHER than Egypt and what happened?
Mr. Madison, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Thanx, CJ. You are right on point. Truth be known, the Egytian crisis is a God-send for the MSM, liberals and especially their “Dear Leader.”
However, I strongly suggest, liberals urge their leader to NOT ignore the dicisions of Federal Judges, anymore. In order to make my point clear, imagine the rioters, in Egypt, all armed with guns.
That is my concerne.
-Bb
Good comment CJ. For those that think it is too long and complicated to read, like Carrie Ann, perhaps you should stick to your comic books and keep pulling the ‘D’ lever in the polling booth… just sayin’.
because it is NOT true!
oh,yes it is!!!!!!!!
It is customary protocol that journalists should NOT become the news… they report the news. At least, that’s what it used to be…
It said in the story that for the safety of their reporter and camera man Fox did not release this information until the men were released from the hospital.
Fox is busy adding at least 10 references to Nazi’s, a must for any report they do.
Because fox doesn’t report the news… duh
Per the article above, FOX isn’t saying anything until they know their reporters / camera people are safe.
Fox gets a taste of ambush journalism. They Fox should that acron documenatary dope, to the far east, too.
Ah typical liberal compassion. I don’t recall seeing anyone nearly beaten to death in any of the ACORN videos or any of the ambush videos; in fact, I don’t recall seeing any violence in them at all.
You didn’t see any violence? It was an assault on human decency…god you people are blinded by your hate of your fellow American citizens.
Your post is as un-American as you can get. What is it about you guys that preach all the “kumbaya stuff” and then love to see violence towards anybody that takes an opposing position. Shame on anyone with your smallness and insecurity — I might add.
Sorry, I clicked the wrong posting. It wasn’t meant for you. It was for ditzy Johnboy posting above you. My apology.
Assault on human decency? Hate? Liberals have been twisting the definition of both to serve their purpose for the last two years. Why shouldn’t you? It’s not like you’ve had a leg to stand on with any issue lately. Quit blinding your fellow citizens by answering every issue with labels that you put on people.
Thank You for Demonstrating to your fellow human beings just how callous and radical liberals really are.
If you think that what Acorn advised is an assault on human decency then you are quite ignorant. They were exposed as the human garbage they are.
slysnootle Without the labeling, the libs would shut down and have nothing to say…..
You can’t fix stupid!
“Typical liberal compassion.” Why don’t you see what the right-wing bloggers posted once Drudge mentioned Anderson Cooper was assaulted and see how your own kind celebrated his ambush.
Go to the Huffington Post and see what liberals or so called “progressives” are saying about Anderson Cooper. They fling around so much hate that they don’t know what side anybody is on. I’ll guarantee you it’s absolutely nothing compared to what Sarah Palin or any conservative woman running for political office had endured during the mid-term elections. Dick Cheneys heart condition, Limbaugh rushed to the ER last Christmas. Yeah, nice try but once again you show that you have no leg to stand on.
Mentioning fellow morons doesn’t make you position any better.
UM……….Anderson didnt’ get a scratch. He still looks his pretty self. The FOX guys got CONCUSSIONS and were seriously injured. you’re comparing those? yes it was amusing Anderson got tossed around but it woudl nto have been had he been hurt, looks like he got 3 stooges slapped around for being stylish and waify
Well, look at it this way. Pharaoh Obama is supporting the immediate transfer of power and immediate change in Egypt, and this is YOUR hero. As usual, the Democrats and Liberals in this country support violence, chaos and bloodshed to achieve their ultimate goals. If Obama were truly a leader, he would not be in support of this form of uprising in Egypt. He also would not stab one of our only allies in that part of the world in the back as he has. Is Mubarak a monster? Sure, but we are talking about the Middle East here. Mubarak is about as good as you’re gonna get. We have to pay him off to keep the peace. That may seem stupid to you liberals, but the alternative is radical islamic regimes. Oh wait. Is that the ultimate goal of Pharaoh Obama? Me thinks it just may be.
The Progressive Mubarak forces were simply bravely responding to the climate of hate created by Palin, Limbaugh and Fox News. I blame them plus the Bush family – both Georges, Jeb and Tito.
Rep. Gibbons got shot in the head. That trumps concussions. And this was after her district showed up on the Repub’s poster-girl’s website with a big red target over it. There was nary a peep coming from the “right” side around that time so please, don’t preach about compassion or hate when the people who represent you are going around saying things like “lock and load.”
The journalists were attacked and had to go to hospital. Try a bit of humanity instead of using nonsense political points,
Hey George, you need to put the bong down, enroll in the first grade and learn enough grammar to put a coherent sentence together.
Hold on now. Let’s not get crazy. “Put the bong down” is taking things too far. Just because someone smokes marijuana doesn’t mean they can’t put together a coherent sentence. George, apparently, is nothing more than an idiot. But don’t start harping on “stoners”. We did nothing wrong. The bong has nothing to do with him being a complete fool.
PHHHHHHHT… Uhh, wow man. As you drive through a red light and into the side of a car full of children.
Oh, but your in control, aren’t you?! Nothing like that will ever happen. Well guess what? I know you without even ever laying eyes on you.
-clean n sober for 21 years.
FOX didn’t shoot the video that exposed ACORN’s corruption, they simply aired it. The ACORN corruption expose did not espouse or utilize violence. Nice try at pulling Obuma’s hyperbole wagon though. You are a model progressive lemming, GOOD BOY! (me scratching behind your rodent like ear.)
JERK
Grwat movie.
Is this a sample of more LIBERAL COMPASSION- SICKENING thats why nobody listens to the BS anymore- the moral authority nonsense doesnt work- everything is a fad- even the approach to compassion-
Fox News and everyone associated with it have never ever harmed anyone. Shame on you leftovers for suggesting they got a ‘taste’ of “ambush” journalism. george May you rot in hell for your evil wishes.
Fox is obscenity incarnate…absolute lies, misrepresentation of facts, they doctor videos, they do great harm to this nations sensibilities…it is a violent assault on the mind.
You are seriously deranged. Manny of your fellow liberals share your condition. Charges like that with NO basis in fact is part of what makes liberals so disgusting. Once again thanks for sharing with the rest of us what your are really like.
A moronic leftist comment re:Fox… “Absolute lies” Cite one. “Misrepresentation of facts?” which fact? Cite one. Harmed sensibilities in what way – Because they do not agree with you? A violent assault on the mind? In what way? Telling the truth might harm the progressive/left/islamist agenda, but his pwecious wittle mind? Apparently JCCapricorns is unable to turn off the Fox News Channel.
Back up your jibberish with some facts. What are the lies they are telling and what misrepresentaion of facts? Doctored videos? Prove it. All you Fox haters say the same old crap all the time but back it up with no FACTS or PROOF!..here’s a concept: start thinking for yourself and quit repeating just what you hear. You have a computer, look it up at a credible source and THINK about it before you start spewing!
The reason liberals can’t stand FOX NEWS is because it is the unbiased (a word that doesn’t esist in a liberal mindset) truth and,
because the almost Always have both liberals and conservatives onb to discuss each issue.
Eat me Jack Off!
Only if Aubrey is a chick and she is hot.
In that order?
Huh? That doesn’t make sense.
By George, what a well written opinion piece. Nouns, verbs and everything though the ordering of the words seems to be an issue. Stop watching reruns of Star Wars, Yoda is not an English mentor.
george,,,spoken like a true progressive liberal communist,,,only you could enjoy a reporter getting beat up,,,your a rat
Another brain dead MSDNC troll. Stop watching that hate-filled propaganda channel, you’ll appear smarter.
Dope!
George, it is losers like you who prove liberalism is the big lie; a complete fraud. Fake compassion. Fake concern for the truth. Fake concern for your fellow men, regardless of nationality or political persuasion. Fake everything. Liberalism is a lie. You are the proof.
Get off the dope!
Gee. That’s compassionate!
You are an idiot.
What???
You have no shame. You don’t even know what ambush journalism is. Just like most of your kind, whoever doesn’t agree with you, you hate and want to hurt. How is that different than a bully? It isn’t. Stop the hate, get a brain.
“Ambush Journalism”? You mean not giving a politician time to rehearse their talking points? Not giving your boy Obama canned questions to make him look like the man HE IS NOT! Is that another term for “Real Journalism”? Something you must not care anything about? You Liberals will be the death of this country and then the first to ask for help in astonishment when we wind up like Egypt. You have no clue and NO common sense. That has been apparent to the MAJORITY of people in this country who have 2 brain cells to rub together enabling them to form a complete thought. You are full of talking points with no answers to anything, just talking points. Do us all a favor and go form you utopia somewhere else so we can get back to being the most powerful and successful Country on the planet. You are parasites.
All Journalists need to get out immediately. If they stay it is their choice.
So you don’t want the facts on the ground, you’d rather make them up like Dan Rather and other liberal goonsquads like yourself. You and Axlerod can have a party together.
Really? You have to be an ass because a guy simply posted what’s an obvious fact about the situation?
?This would be a good time to start pulling out of all the countries in which we have our noses, and U.S. taxpayer money. Cut off the funds we give them, reinforce our defenses here at home, get busy drilling for oil and natural gas, produce more coal, and strive for more renewable energy(with no taxpayer subsidies)! To a man, all countries of the world hate us!! So I say, let them go on their own and let’s take care of our own people. We are now being held hostage by the Islamists!! The following link can give you an idea of what can happen when other nations are left to their own devices!!
http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1713275,00.html
Wow this is awful. It goes to show that these reporters really are devoted to delivering the news. And I dont understand why people are so speculative about the validity of this report just because the people that were beat up comes from a station people might not agree with. Its funny how people hate.
All through this whole thing I have been wondering about the safety of of Mr. Palkot and others,and when the mobs would turn on them as well,,,,, why am I not surprised. They should all just give the power over the the camels, they seem to be the only ones with brains.
Well, thank God Greg Palkot is alive and recovering. I hope that his cameraman, doing okay also. I wonder if Fox News would consider supplying their staff with pistols.
I hope that Fox News will send Geraldo Rivera to Egypt. Let Rivera bring the LARGEST camera he can find. Fox News should invest in a van, with the Fox News logo plastered all over it.
Why not? Sending this harpy can’t do any harm, and it might actually do a lot of good. It won’t do any harm, because this harpy can’t give away U.S. troop positions, as he has a history of doing, and it might do a lot of good, because if he is hospitalized, then Fox News viewers won’t have the same boring “Geraldo At Large” show inflicted on them 5 times on Friday nights, 5 times on Saturday nights, and 5 times on Sunday nights, for awhile.
There is a reason they have the ratings they do. It has nothing to do with your intellectual superiority, but just keep telling yourself that, dunce.
Thank God these men are all right. We must pray for the well being of all these journalists and all the people that travel the world risking their lives in order to get the truth of the news to us. May Lord keep them out of harms way.
Horrible. I also heard about a university professor who did an interview with Democracy Now there in Cairo. As soon as the interview ended, she was nearly beaten to death, and her necklace and belongings stolen…by pro Mubarak thugs. While I appreciate getting the news, this is getting out of hand and all journalists and reporters need to get the heck out of there. Between violent pro-Mubarak thugs and some anti-Mubarak protestors who are angry that America isn’t taking their side, it’s simply too dangerous to be on the ground there.
Any real evidence that anti-Mubarak protesters are doing any of this?
Yes, the anti-Mubarak protesters are Muslims, who are unleashing a global jihad upon humanity. Mubarak’s secularists are very human compared to the Islamic/far left, far right alliance of evil which you belong to.
Islam and democracy don’t mix stupid
Islam and humanity doesn’t mix. My liberal father tried to spout that bs line about Islam being a religion of peace, ( same as W told us) I got my ass up and left the table.
Islam is death, a death cult.
The original question was “…Any real evidence that anti-Mubarak protesters are doing any of this?”
You did not answer the question. Again, you offered no proof that “pro-Mubarak thugs” were responsible.
Getting to the real evidence is why journalists go over there.
Why do you call those pro-Mubarak “thugs” but call those anti-Mubarak “protestors” ?
Because the anti-mubarak protestors were almost 100% peaceful until attacked in the last couple of days by pro-mubarak forces, widely reported to be sponsored by the mubarak regime and containing police out of uniform. It is also worth noting that all of the reports of journalists being beaten/arrested/intimidated have implicated the police/pro-mubarak forces, not the protestors. Thug seems like the right word.
Almost 100% peaceful? I don’t know, I saw plenty of fires the first day, and who then smashed and ransacked the Egyptian Museum?
Unless the anti-government protesters expected a different response from the government and when they didn’t get it, they had to create it. It makes sense because now they have the backing of everyone around the world. Even America is now willing to accept a member of the Brotherhood to take the presidents place. It’s the brotherhood who is pushing this with the protesters.
All of America is NOT willing to accept a member of the Muslim Brotherhood to take the presidents place. It will be a huge mistake for that to happen.
at least 12 people were KILLED the first day. After several days it was up to 100 Dead. you call that peaceful. Of course you don’t want the real facts on the ground.
The anti-Mubarak crowd is “peaceful”? Oh, that must explain why there were (only?) 100 dead from the “peaceful” protests before the pro-Mubarak crowd even entered the fray. Give me a break. This stopped being peaceful almost from the moment it started. They are a mob and they all act like a mob. Let’s not sugarcoat this anymore or pretend that there is an easy distinction to be made between “good guys” and “bad guys.” Both groups have something positive to contribute to the dialogue, but (sadly) both groups have contributed to violence. For peace to emerge, both groups need to get a grip before this gets even worse.
Right on, Gerimya.
Did anyone see the video footage last week of the young man with 2 sons and the young girl(26) who were stoned to death in Afghanistan because the girl loved this man and fled from her arranged marriage(prior to getting married)? Wonder what will happen to his 2 young sons? Islam 101 people. Coming to a United State near you! Thanks to political correctness and Liberals of course.
Because so far the coverage shows that the anti-Mubarak crowd has been mostly peaceful, screaming loudly but non-violent. It wasn’t until the pro-Mubarak crowds started gathering, throwing Molotov Cocktails, bricks, and firing guns that violence started.
They weren’t actually peaceful on Friday, they were throwing rocks then. People were killed and many injured last week.
‘Because so far the coverage shows that the anti-Mubarak crowd has been mostly peaceful, screaming loudly but non-violent.’
============================
in other words, ‘because the MSM told me so”
12 Dead on the first day is NOT peaceful
12 protestors dead
I agree. Fox and the rest of the MSM is giving us propaganda not journalism. All the buzz words are there. This is the same script with some mods to fit the country that was forced on us with Iran, China, Cuba, Vietnam, Philippines, Libya, etc. Its always about the sudden news that our long-time friend is not “democratic”, blah, blah blah then it turns out the new governement of the “freedom fighters” are totalitarian of one sort or another. The people become a lot worse off than before. We don’t believe any braiwashers. Hope Mubarak goes after eery single one of the propagandists stirring up trouble in Egypt. Also, the “demonstrators” aka rioters, why don’t they have to go to work? Where are they getting their funds? Why isn’t that reported?
The media does not call them ‘protestors;’ they are ‘pro-democracy protestors!’ That’s a wtf!!!!!!!
Of course the violence in the middle east has been planned. When over 100 people died from the “peaceful protesters” the liberal media said nothing. That said, I don’t want to see any true journalists beaten, by either pro or anti Mubarak forces.
This is like then they stand in the middle on an incoming hurricane to report about it, stupid. They couldn’t pay me enough.
just a FYI..if mubarack leaves now, as Obama has strongly urged, egypt will fall into an (Iran-style)fundamentalist state. Pro-Mubarack groups are angry at Obama and take it out on the journalists from the west. If left alone, they WILL protect their nation. I do NOt blame them.
I agree. Too bad the MSM do not get it. Freedom fighters is a cover. Just as is the stated intent to bring social justice to Egypt.
It’s crazy for them to be there. I could never be that brave after what happened to Bill Stewart.
Or Daniel Pearl. These people WILL BEHEAD them.
Everyone respects the news outlets for actually being in Egypt, but they need to come home. No on wins if someone gets killed.
Some correspondents enjoy the risks of being in dangerous places. It gives tham an adrenaline rush. It’s the only explaination why they do it.
You sound like an ignorant fool. A real journalist puts his life in danger so that morons like you can get the real facts. Ernie Pyle was a war correspondent in WWII. Do you think he did it for thrills?
Anonymous said “SOME correspondents,” not ALL, Kala. And he’s correct. Some correspondents DO get a thrill from being in dangerous places and situations and reporting on them. That’s why they do it. If they DIDN’T, they’d be reporting in places where they’re NOT likely to be beheaded, stoned, beaten or shot to death by raving mobs on the other side of the planet.
These reporters aren’t FORCED to be there. They choose to go to these trouble spots and risk life and limb in pursuit of a story. And a good number of them enjoy the rush they get from the potential dangers involved.
Journalists of every strip deserve to be left alone, whther this Fox team or the CNN people. Obama need to tell Hilary to call Mubarak and let him know if any more American reporters are injured we’re going to cut off our foreign aid. This is unacceptable. Politics stops at the water’s edge and every American should be angry about this attack on our free press by a supposed “ally” we give billions in aid.
Do you really think that what you just said will matter?
Rich the liberal. Don’t you understand the reason why the journalist are being targeted? They no longer report the facts. They make it up to support their personal and network’s philosophy.
I read that Anderson Cooper was in fact struck in the face. I commend the reporters for their bravery while hoping they take extra care in this dangerous situation.
If Anderson Cooper was struck 10 in the face according to him, why doesn’t he have one mark on his face? He just wants to be the star of his own story. However, many people in this country would like to strike him in the face.
Just like when a career activist assaulted Rand Paul in his SUV but got sympathy when her head…errrr I mean shoulder got shoved by a size 11 boot. I don’t know if we’re dealing with children or just teenagers.
If cooper told them his sexual orentation they would have beheaded him.
Anderson Cooper, too. Sheesh, this is getting out of hand. I hope everyone stays safe out there.
First of all, thank you for not using the word “journalist” in relation to Fox News.
I’m glad that everyone is on the mend and that no one lost their life but at the same time can’t help but note the irony that employees of the authoritarian Fox News were assaulted by Mubarek’s authoritarian lackeys.
Ass.
seriously. whoever said thanks for not mentioning journalists when mentioning Fox news, what is YOUR degree in? reporting the news is kind of like marriage vows; for better or worse. someone has to do it, and I laud their bravery.
Hey asshole – Fox or otherwise, these are journalists trying to do their jobs and they are risking their lives to tell us what’s going on in an exceptionally dangerous part of the world. Regardless of who they work for, they are brave. You clearly don’t an empathetic bone in your body. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Great response, jb.
loved your comment jb Kudos!
Grow up. Palkot is a first rate journalist.
AGREED!
There’s nothing ironic about it–and they are journalists.
leftwing nut anyone?
THANKS BUT NO THANKS.. WHEN I WANT NUTS, I PREFER THOSE THAT COME OUT OF A JAR–NOT OUT OF THE TRASH.
you are a jerk, and you do not know anything about Greg…He has been a journalist for years. Go drink your koolaid moron!
NYGUY what a f’in dick you are.
I wouldn’t use that language but I agree with the sentiment.
Hey NY GUY
Shut the F*** up you asshole.
We are ALL Americans, be Conservative or Commies like yourself.
I am sooo sick of simpletons who think they are “intellectuals” because they watch Keith Olbermann and vilify Fox. Give it a rest already you punk.
Safe return for all of the JOURNALISTS!
NYguy: Only a Liberal jerk would take something awful that happened to someone and turn it around to meet their political agenda. NY City is a Liberal hotbed, but when the city was attacked on 9/11, Conservatives did not say biased, tacky things about it. But, what the heck, this is typical of people like you.
I’m sometimes ashamed that I served and defended the right to speak by idiots like this guy.
Hey nydkhd, get you head out of your ass. Fox is the only network that actually gives both sides of a story. That’s why they destroy their competition in the ratings.
Right on! thanks
Odd, how you refer to Fox News as not journalists yet they have the biggest audience on cable news, also much higher rating than NBC, CBS or ABC. Thank your president for this debacle and the reporters being beaten, he encouraged it when he apologized to Egypt and laid all the blame for past ills with the United States. You are certainly entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts. Journalists report and you decide. NBC, ABC and CBS are in bed with the amateurish, inexperienced community organizer referred to as POTUS and report from a very biased, undying love for the Marxist in Chief.
You people are pathetic..if only it had been Palin or Beck? What is that ? These people are beating all media indicriminantly. You lefties can kiss my southern conservative ass. Boy are you people stupid, Im ashamed to call you my countrymen
Idiot.
There it is the vile talk, once again back to blaming.
Reserve the term Journalist for “Keith Olberman” and ” Rachel” – well I see the distinction now- lol
Typical liberal response. They NEVER miss an opportunity to use a tragedy for political gain (see the Arizona shootings).
You do realize Fox JOURNALISTS mainly came from the older, liberal networks? That’s a childish thing to say. Fox has the cream of the crop in journalists!
YEAH. UNLIKE THE VILLAGE IDIOTS FROM THE YELLOW JOURNALISM SCHOOL OF HATE. LIKE “TINGLE UP MY LEG -MATTHEWS, AND ‘CLASS(-less) PRESIDENT OF THE SCHOOL OF HATE AND VITRIOLE’ aka sports show hack reject)OLBERMAN, AS WELL AS MADDOW,SHULTZ, BEHAR (yuk) AND THE REST OF THE TRUTH DISTORTERS, LIARS AND BUFFOONS FROM THE LEFT(out).
ARE THOSE THE ‘REAL’ JOURNALISTS THAT YOU SPEAK OF WITH SUCH HIGH REGARD? WELL, HERE’S A PARTING THOUGHT FOR YOU:
IF THEY AND OTHERS FROM THOSE NETWORKS ARE SUCH PROFESSIONAL AND DEDICATED JOURNALISTS.. WHY AREN’T THEY THEMSELVES IN THAT HELL HOLE REPORTING? AS WELL AS FOR THE CRETINS THEY ‘WORK FOR’ WHO REMAIN STATESIDE AND CONTINUALLY STIR THE POT OF DISCHORD, DISCONTENT AND ANYTHING THEY CAN CONTRIVE THAT’S ANTI-AMERICAN? YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE OF COURSE, THEY’RE THOSE THAT MANIPULATE AND TWIST ALL THINGS TRUTH AND DO SO THEM FROM THEIR BASTIONS OF LIBERAL CESSPOOLS AND PROPAGATE THEIR SPEW AND VENOM OVER THE AIRWAVES. THOSE ‘JOURNALISTS’ ???
Sorry can’t read your post. Too difficult when all caps.
Best,
A
Liberals love it when Fox News Journolists are beaten to death or like Steve Centani from Fox News captured by Muslim Terrorists. People like you would celebrate if these people were killed.
Funny that you bash Fox News and call them authoritarian. Do you even know what that word means? I what way is Fox authoritarian? Liberal knownothings like yourself never let facts get in the way of your beliefs. So the progressive left wing MSNBC is the center of all truth and balanced news? God I hope you don’t vote!
You are a moron.
Wow, great post Elbee. Second grade name calling is awesome. Get a clue. I don’t care what side you’re on, right or left, have some class and post something worthwhile or put away your keyboard.
You’re a moron, punk. The ONLY network that reports the news in a mostly unbiased nature is FoxNews. We’re not talking about their commentary and opinion shows, but the actual news casts. Various independent, multiple evaluations have proven it. Get your head out of the southern part of your posterior. Engage your brain with facts before shooting from the lip.
It is Obamas fault that these ‘journalists’ were attacked
I thought it was Bush’s fault like everything else. Duh.
Would you also confuse journalism with Cronkite, Rather, Brokaw and Jennings? I sure as hell do not.
Dan Rather used FALSE docments to promote an ideological story. That is propaganda not journalism. The rest of the MSM gave him an award. Does that tell you anything.
So you believe that the ABC, CBS, or NBC crews are “journalists”. What a moron.
I posted the comment below in response to the person who suggested that the Fox News reporters got what they deserved. Judging by the tone of other comments on this thread, I have a hard time believing my comment warranted removal. But I don’t see it, so I am posting it again…
Typical liberal response. They NEVER miss an opportunity to use a tragedy for political gain (see the Arizona shootings).
This is the kind of crap you see everyday from left wingers…they accuse the right of being violent but it is just a reflection of themselves. They don’t care if a Fox News person gets killed…that’s fine with them..and I am tired of compromising with these asses. Screw em. They are too stupid to be debated with because winning such a debate would hold the same gratification as outwitting a stone….or a liberal.
IDIOT. I can tell you what your news stations will report days in advance by which direction the OBAMA “wind” blows.
If only it had been Palin & Beck.
SCHMUCK!
How could you say that? That’s disgusting. Its people like you who make this country look bad.
Classy Albert. Real classy.
What a horrible thing to say. You may disagree with them, but to wish them pain is just plain mean.
Same goes for you as NYGuy, Albert. These journalists are in serious danger. Try being decent for a change.
SCHMUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! Too bad not you.
Wow. There’s Liberal compassion for you.
Dear Nellie;
The above poster is a SCHMUCK. Anyone who hopes for violence against another human is a SCHMUCK— and your refusing to post a response to his call for violence against two individuals makes you a SCHMUCK as well; as apparently you agree that harm should come to those with whom you may not agree politically.
So why the hate speech. Given the unnecessary mention of wishing Palin and Beck had been beaten up, I am going to assume you aren’t a conservative. So who is the party of tolerance? Or did I miss the conversatives saying they wished it was a Democrat politician. Shame on you…
you are a disgusting piece of work
@albert & nyguy: Why are you so angry and full of hate? Could it be a reflection of your own self esteem?
This is the Democrat Paty Folks. NY GUY and Albert. Read it and weep.
Jacka$$
If it could only have been your mother.
Idiots everywhere.
Go to hell you vile bigot.
You’re a disgusting loser! Your hate is astounding! God I hope you don’t vote.
You are an uncivil, evil booger, aren’t you? People like you are why this nation is losing respect! We have turned away from the things that made us great.
Your comments and those of your liberal asshole fellow commentators only prove over and over that your mouths and assholes are interchangeable body parts.
You could be a moron, if you were not so stupid.
If anyone out there owns a business and you know you have people like this guy working for you…fire them…That’s what I am going to do…gonna ask about Palin and Beck and the first liberal jerk that says anything bad about them is hitting the streets…won’t have idiots working here. They love the government so much…let Obama feed their families.
After a point, these reporters wading into the mobs is just showboating. Like meteorologists thinking the only way to tell people about a hurricane is by standing on the beach as it hits. OK, there’s a storm (weather or politically related), we get it.
If they have to have footage from on the ground in the middle of it all, why not just hire a couple of locals who can blend into the crowd, and give them a hand held camcorder? Have an American reporter with a mike in his hand and a camera crew following him right down in the mob is just asking for trouble.
Did you even read or watch the report? They were out of the way on a balcony, but someone threw a molotov cocktail at them and they had to flee.
No, Randy Andy & group were on the ground. The only thing that happened is that someone threw water on the camera lens. The rest of it was only shouting at the CNN propagandists. Andy complained he had been hit 10 times in the face but hadn’t a mark on him. He likes to be the star of his own show.
Doesn’t anyone find it odd that ALL the MSMs and Fox are reading fromt he same script? All of a sudden our friend in Egypt is our enemy? This is exactly what happened in Russia, Iran, China, Cuba, Libya, Vietnam, Philippines, etc. Same script modified for each country. What did these countries end up with – you got it – totalitarian regimes that really are the enemy of their own people.
Perhaps you do not understand the role of a journalist, or what exactly motivates an individual to become a journalist in the first place.
Thank you!
There’s this Western ignorance that feels you can just walk in anywhere in the world, regardless of what’s happening, and be expected to be treated like royalty.
Egypt going through some turmoil right now. Respect that and leave them alone. Report what needs to be reported and leave it at that. Don’t try to mine the situation for ratings or showboat, then complain about catching a beatdown.
reporters know that what they do can be dangerous. i fail to see how anyone can say that what is happening in the middle east is no ones business. are you so young that you don’t remember 1979. can you say that the fundamentalist takeover of Iran has had no effect on the rest of the world.
we do not live in isolation. they do not riot in a vacuum. what one does, can effect all.
Yeah – so much easier and safer to just sit in Mom and Dad’s basement and fabricate news to write in a blog.. doesn’t matter too much if it’s accurate or complete..
Did you read the article? Watch the report? They didn’t “wade” into anything. they were on a roof of a building observing the back and forth between demonstrators when they were forced off because a Molotov cocktail was thrown at them. They fled when a fire was started. That isn’t “wading” into anything. That is being forced to flee. Sheesh.
Liberals never let facts get in the way of their Marxist Ideology. Just ask Al Gore,
Prayers go out for every reporter’s safety.
100,000 protested in Iran and nothing happened. This one is tiny in comparison and will lead to a new government. Figure the hypocrisy of mobsterish Iranian government to support protesters in Egypt, but crush their own. When it comes to their own, they won’t go, but when it comes to someone else, they support their freedom. Iranian government will be uprooted like weeds and brushes one day, and throwing in to a wood-chipper. That day is coming, the hour which no one can put back.
Is it only the pro-Mubarek demonstrators doing this? I don’t remember hearing about journalists being attacked before they came onto the scene in the streets.
It was only after Obama took the side of the anti mubarack group.
Yay!
There’s something not right about having to see a commercial for Oliver Garden before watching this.
Why did these journalists have to go there? Do we really need to know what this country is doing?????? Did these journalist realise that maybe they got beat up because it was NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS what they do in THEIR own country. I wish this world wouild mind their own businesses.
Allow me to congratulate you, daenb, for what is the most ignorant post ever in the history of DH. I hope you can appreciate the magnitude of what you have just accomplished.
Seriously Daenb…. You clearly don’t understand that we are an integrated body of people on this earth and what happens in one part of the world affects the other part of the world. Kind of like a body…if your foot gets stepped on, the rest of your body knows it and feels it. The fact that you are on a computer (made from a different part of the world), sitting in a chair (made somewhere else) drinking a drink (made somewhere else), and eating foods most likely imported from somewhere goes to show how ignorant you are that we should “mind our own businesses.” Remember that when you get into your car today (most likely not made here in America)!
By your logic (and some others), all foreign journalists should be forced to leave the U.S. What happens in the U.S. is none of their business. Right?
Yes absolutely we need to know what’s happening in Egypt! Are you insane? Do you know how much shipping traffic alone goes through the Sueze Canal (spelled wrong, I know)? Do you know who controls that canal? That alone is enough of a reason to cover this ongoing story. Let alone the fact that people are trying to free themselves from an oppressive regime. That’s important! Also think of the some 200,000 Egyptians that live in the US. Don’t you think they might like to know what’s happening in they’re country? Don’t you care what’s happening in the world? Do you live in a bubble under a rock? At some point someone will come move the rock you live under, then it’ll be important to you.
More like dweeb. Journalists go to these places to give us eyewitness reports as to what is going on there. Is it really meaningless? When the Muslim Brotherhood takes over the Suez Canal I hope you weren’t planning on driving anywhere. When all the people of Irael are incinerated by a hydrogen bomb from Iran, will that interest you? or will it be when they aim their missle at your house..
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
Reminds me of those few lines of the Phil Collins song. You know, maybe I’m alone here, but I’d never wish that on anyone on the left. I don’t even care for Palin and/or Beck myself, but comments like that is exactly why most of the country refuses to identify themselves with liberals.
Thats a cindi lauper song not phil collins
but I agree with your point fully
Hurmoth, Cyndi Lauper recorded it prior to Phil. And I agree with you, I’d never wish this on ANYONE, left or right-leaning.
How do you determine the fact that they were pro-Mubarak thugs versus Muslim Brohterhood thugs?
One caution. Do not assume these are pro-Mubarac supporters. there are factions that have a vested interest in keeping the violence up. What better way than to send people into the protests identified as pro-govt.
What would be Murbaracs interest in keeping this going?
mubarack does not want his country falling into an Iran-style fundamentalist theocracy. that is his motivation.
The islamic Egyptions are savages and we in the USA are insane for sending those cretins billions of USD..
Wow. You deserve to burn in hell for that comment.
I’ve been through the archives and I am pretty sure I am right. Let me know if you can find a more ignorant post. And by the way, I am curious as to why you feel my post entitles me to a one way ticket to hell. I don’t think my prior post identified me as a conservative or a liberal, a Fox News junkie or a CNN fan, or as pretty much anything other than a human being with an ability to identify a thoroughly ignorant comment. Was I a bit glib? Certainly. After all, this is DH, not the National Review. I anxiously await your reply.
ah yes, the religion of peace.
Please! Send Hannity, they love zionists over there!
Or we could send Obama!
Sure that POS can go too, other Bastiat!
Guess his big Cairo speech didn’t have much impact over there.
When did Hannity become a Zionist. Last time I heard he was an Irish Catholic. You liberals are wonderful people, so generous and peace loving, exactly like a Muslim. When reporters are being attacked, beaten and severely injured most people forget left and right and pray for the safety of those reporting the story. Then you have democrats, the peace loving, anti-violent left who would never put a bullseye on the head of a president or have any evil rhetoric discourse wishing harm to anyone. I have never heard the tea party members threaten lives and wish people dead. You are one sick puppy.
You’re talking to a real libertarian boy, not a neo-con like hannity claiming to be a tea party libertarian. Since when are you neo-cons “non violent”? You initiate force at any opportunity just like the far left liberals do. You neo-cons are going to be flushed out of the tea party like a big fat deuce soon enough.
Actually, you’re just an uneducated cheap-shot artist hiding behind a computer. You’re a liberal and a cowardly one at that. Hannity has never claimed to be ‘libertarian’ in any sense of the word.
Last time I checked, Hannity was an Irish Christian, not a Jew. Neocon (or neoconservative, “new conservative”, you must be from Rio Linda) was a term coined specifically to describe former jewish liberals who became disenchanted with liberalism and switched over to a conservative point of view. It was meant to be derogatory. As such, the brilliant Charles Krauthammer would be a “neo-con”. Also Bill Kristol. Mainstream media and liberals HATE the fact that these guys decided to move into the light! They can’t STAND it. Especially when they are as smart and articulate as they are, Krauthammer in particular. So. You can’t be a neo-con unless you are a former liberal Jew turned conservative. Okay?
Oh i’m going to call myself a Libertarian so i can claim moral superiority..I look at myself as being better then others especially those evil repubs or conservatives..I am actually a far far liberal but since i know some wil attack me for that i wil clainm non partisanship so i can attack at will!! FAIL!!!!!
Hannity is one of the few people in the media who pursues the truth. I salute him for his hard work and perseverence for all men who wish to live free from government interference and regulation. He is a family man and an upright individual. God bless him and shame on you for your cheap comment…
I agree. I don’t really like Hannity but he’s never claimed to be a libertarian. He’s a conservative republican. Of course the left would have you believe every conservative is a “neo-con” nazi loving facist. Pitiful to say the least.
He most certainly has called himself a libertarian. If you are one of his “club” members try checking his radio archives if they’re available, this was sometime last year. I’ve not been able to come up with a clip unfortunately, Hannity’s handlers had the clip memory-holed most likely.
he migt have some views that are associated with what is associated as being Libertarian but many that are called Conservative have those same views,Heck most that aren’t hard core liberals like yourself have those views…I guess were al either neo cons or fake libertarians as you would call us.GREAT thing that you are the fascist in charge of labelling people!
Our journalists’ safety supercedes my need to know what these sand thugs are doing to each other.
