Comments on: Anderson Cooper was “punched 10 times in the head” by a Cairo mob http://www.celebitchy.com/138952/anderson_cooper_was_punched_10_times_in_the_head_by_a_cairo_mob/ Stylish celebrity escapism Wed, 22 May 2013 09:36:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Tess http://www.celebitchy.com/138952/anderson_cooper_was_punched_10_times_in_the_head_by_a_cairo_mob/#comment-2865029 Tess Thu, 03 Feb 2011 14:38:15 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/?p=138952#comment-2865029 @ Bopa I'm not really getting your point. My only point is that the reason celebrity anchors cover hotspots is to bring in ratings. If you're saying that the celebrity anchors and their networks are willing to risk their safety for ratings, then we agree. But I also maintain that it is unneccessary. The star anchors could do interviews from their sets in NY @ Bopa

Her crew was attacked too. At least according to TMZ I guess thats one difference then. I don't think reporters go out because they <i>have</i> to, I think they go because they <i>want</i> to. But thats neither here nor there :D Bopa, she did go. Her crew was attacked too. At least according to TMZ

I don't fault her for not going. I guess we forgot that Katie is a widow and the only parent her child has. Maybe the argument could be made that she should be in a different profession but it's not mandatory for her to be in Egypt. Oh and on the subject if Katie couric. I don’t fault her for not going.

If they're reporting on the streets what's stopping someone from shooting reporters along with protesters? ABC news lost one major reporter and another was blown up and nearly killed in Iraq during the first years of the Iraq war. I don't know how you could make an assumption like that from the safety of your living room. @Tess

Yes he is in the middle of it and got punched, and who cares if he has $500 dollar shoes ? I definitely would not go there regardless... i think he is brave and i love how he found a "safe" place that is like on the 100th floor.

He has been in the middle east for years, speaks fluent Arabic. Looks like he should be a wall street broker or something but is this great reporter who knows what he's talking about. But most important, so hot. My favorite place to see him is on location doing live broadcasts from whichever war embroiled country he's in conversing with Rachel Maddow on her show on MSNBC. They have a great rapport. Also, did I mention he's adorable? lol OK kids, man candy is NBC’s chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel.

They are responsible for the violence that has erupted as they beat (and injured over 500) protesters today and had special orders to target journalists and confiscate cameras. If you want to check the facts I have told you, ALJazeera English has live broadcast of Egypt and many news stories about it. THANK YOU, SARA. I was hoping someone would point this out. It's INCREDIBLY important to understand the difference between the original, anti-Mubarak protesters and the pro-Mubarak thugs who not so coincidentally showed up a day after Mubarak said he wouldn't run again, but he wasn't leaving now. As Sara said, they are paid thugs whose sole purpose is to squash the protests and reassert Mubarak's power. The peaceful protesters who are fighting for change are NOT the ones attacking journalists & people in the streets. Al Jazeera English IS a great source, as is Democracy Now. As for Cooper, I certainly hope he's OK, but he is one of many journalists at risk, no better, no worse. I admire them all, they're doing a dangerous and necessary job, especially since the Egyptians NEED the international community to know what is going on. Sara M.:
