Geee Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 ErnstBlofeld-I guess Greg should have had ESP to know that a fire bomb was coming his way and called for help. He has been there for a number of years and is very savvy and a well respected reporter-not someone like Anderson Cooper who came for the occasion. He is someone to be admired for his courage and I pray that he is OK. As for the camera man- I admire him for his courage to keep reporting on the edge stories after what he has already been through.

Geee Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 White House Condemns 'Systematic Targeting' of Journalists in Egypt The Obama administration strongly condemned the behavior of pro-government supporters, after a number of international journalists -- including Fox Business Network's Ashley Webster, and Fox News' Greg Palkot and Olaf Wiig -- were attacked, intimidated and in some cases jailed in Cairo. As pro- and anti-government demonstrators continue to clash, those covering the historic events have apparently become a target as well. The Obama administration claimed the acts were Both Palkot and Wiig were hospitalized overnight after running into a crowd of pro-government demonstrators. The two were severely beaten but have since been released from the hospital. That was after Palkot, covering the growing violence at Tahrir Square, was confronted by several pro- and anti-government protesters. In the middle of the chaos, Palkot said that 30 rioters, with the help of an Egyptian military officer, fended off a large crowd of people and allowed Palkot and his cameraman to slip down a back alley and into a small hotel. Webster told Fox News that security burst into his hotel room and forced the cameraman off the balcony, shouting that they will kill them. "This crowd has been very angry toward journalists," he told Fox News. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/02/03/white-house-condemns-systematic-targeting-journalists-egypt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
