Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | February 6, 2011 | Brian

Here is video of Fox News Reporter Greg Palkot and his cameraman Olaf Wiig talking on camera for the first time about the beating they took at the hands of pro-Mubarak thugs in Cairo, Egypt earlier this week.

They talked to Fox News Correspondent John Roberts about how they were repeatedly hit in the head and all over their bodies with fists, open hands, sticks, rocks. Their injuries are still very visible and graphic. They are fortunate to still be alive.

Being the public face of manufactured propaganda calls your noncombatant status into question.

Egyptians, it turns out, are far brighter than the globalists anticipated.

The arrogant MSM reporters thought they could waltz in and save the day. I watched it for a few days and was wondering how long the Egyptians would put up with it. Longer than I thought they would. The presented a crazed mob of muzzie men as freedom loving citizens of the world. Too much. They acted like they were beamed down from the Enterprise.

The US media is comprised of some of the world's most dishonest and unethical people (and that includes some at FNC). Excuse me if I don't get too emotional.

How do they determine if it was the the anti-Mubarak or the pro-Mubarak crowd they beat the ever loving stuffing out of them?

I can’t help but wonder if it is just a group of thugs looking to harm someone.

Obama and the media dump fuel on the fire daily and then are shocked when they get burned.

“at the hands of pro-Mubarak thugs in Cairo”

...and their evidence is? Maybe they were anti-mob rule who want a peaceful transition.

Great comments so far on this thread. I have no sympathy for the media types who have gotten the crap kicked out of them. They invaded a country in order to make money by peddling sensationalistic videos and were more than willing to distort what was happening and stoke the coals into order to sell their own agenda.

If someone came into my country, tried to exploit a chaotic situation, and push their own agenda — even at the risk of my life and limbs — I’m bust their skulls, too.

The average Egyptian seems unlikely to be all that aware of how the American media are spinning this. All they see are people speaking English into the camera -- and the average Islamist hates America and the UK.

Nope, I’ve seen nothing.

But these Fox guys certainly were beaten, there’s no denying that. If ones been familiar with ER trauma etc. you can tell their wounds are authentic...and that’s just what is visible here.

Something many Americans don’t completely understand is the ravage mindset of Middle Easterns when they are on the move. They have experienced a great deal of hatred from their own people, both in their leaderships and amongst one another..... so dishing it our when opportunity presents itself is going to always be with years of pent up rage behind it.
