Again? CNN’s Anderson Cooper Reports His Car Has Been Attacked In Cairo

The tension in the streets of Cairo has not changed, with CNN’s Anderson Cooper reporting the vehicle he and his CNN crew were traveling in was set upon and attacked. “Situation on ground in #egypt very tense. Vehicle I was in attacked. My window smashed. All ok,” the AC 360 host reported via Twitter just about 12:45 Thursday.

Cooper spent most of Wednesday night reporting from an undisclosed location for safety after being repeatedly punched in the head during an attack by members of a pro-government mob.

Today’s incident comes amid widespread reports that journalists in Egypt have been targeted not only for harassment and physical violence, but also arrest. As The New York Times‘ Nicholas Kristof warned, “to my reporting brethren in Egypt: there are reports that police are raiding hotels looking for journalists. Be careful!”

He probably thinks they're doing wonders for his ratings.

Who is this Anderson Cooper?  Does he have some sort of TV show?

Sheperd Smith is saying that more journalist have been beaten and some possibly kidnapped. Greg Palkot was among those beaten.  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/03/fox-news-greg-palkot-hospitalized-egypt_n_818311.html

Man, that just sucks, doesn't it? 

Funny how the smartest people in the country don't have enough sense to stay away from bad areas...

Self correcting problems, the lot of them.

I don't know about any of the other reporters but Palkot has always been willing to put himself where the action is.  I can't guess at how many reports he did when embedded with troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.  My guess is that he volunteered when the Fox execs asked for someone to go there.

Yes, Hannity reported on Greg during his radio show this afternoon.  He's apparently out of the hospital.  Scary shit.

Over at the DUmp, they have a thread on this.  It has been thoroughly scrubbed of all the expected nasty comments.  Littered with Subthread Deleteds, these are followed by telling comments, making it obvious what was there before.
