Beaten Fox News Journalists: Arab crowd went straight for our heads
Examiner ^ | February 7, 2011 | Marc Schenker

Beaten Fox News Journalists: Arab crowd went straight for our heads. A few days after being pummeled nearly to death by crowds of pro-Mubarak Arab thugs on the streets of Egypt, Fox News journalists Greg Palkot and Olaf Wiig finally felt strong enough to appear on camera and give first-hand testimony of what kind of barbarism they suffered at the hands of said thugs. To hear Palkot and Wiig tell their story, it sounded like they were right in the middle of a war zone in Tahrir Square. Particularly telling is Palkot’s testimony that the Arab crowd intentionally made a target of the journalists’ heads, which they repeatedly beat over and over and over again. Adding insult to injury, both men were interrogated by the Egyptians before being finally released.

Most educated Americans NO LONGER CARE.
Why? First, none of the attacked are even “REPORTERS”.
They just PRETEND to be.

Second, these ‘pretend reporters’ all IGNORE the NEWS and substitute Weather,
LIES, and endless duplicity, disingenuity,
and fabricated coverups for their Master/imam EVERY SINGLE DAY,
from his vast undocumentation to his long-absent birth certificate
to every connection he has had between the White House from Ayers to Hasan
to the Moslem Brotherhood.

There are SO examples
of their deception, and treason, against the American People.
Just LAST WEEK this included the following:
I. THE MSM IGNORED Obama having secretly given/sold
UK nuclear secrets to his handlers in Russia

and II. THE MSM IGNORED Obama's TYRANNY
and unConstitutional behavior:
"OMSA Praises Ruling Holding Obama Administration in Contempt for Moratorium on Gulf Oil Drilling"

"Obama Defies Court, Now A Dictator "

"Obama snubs Issa on first major document deadline"

"Levin: ObamaCare (Obama defying court order)"

and III. THE MSM IGNORED their own provocation, with Obama
and DNC/CodePink/Hamas of Ikhwan and al Qaeda in Egypt
against the soverign government there which just happened to be a US ally,
while Obama carefully segregated the Egyptian military at the Pentagon.

Have you read or seen the interviews with these journalists? Really, have you? Come on people, if you look anywhere, I mean anywhere, you can find the articles written by numerous journalists that were beaten by the pro-Mubarak thugs. What is the disdain with journalists when they are risking their lives to get the story out to the western world?

Quit your bitching you could have been assigned to cover Oakland, Detroit or Camden on a summer weekend. You wouldn't get to tell your story at all.

Olaf Wiig, is the same cameraman who was kidnapped along with Fox News reporter Steve Centanni, while on assignment in Gaza City in 2006.

These ‘reporters’ endorse and support and lie for the enemies of this country DAILY. Then they act surprised when this happens. They are reaping what they have sown.

That has bothered me since the getgo. As soon as the first rock was thrown it was universally attributed to the “pro-Mubarack crowd. Did they wear name tags? What would stop MB from identifying themselves as Pro-M when they started the violence? Not one jounalist from any network has challenged this. Odd.

That’s not an answer. When Mike Huckabee asked the same question, the only answer he got was that they were in plain clothes.

Well, in forming a mob to beat the helpless, the A-rabs are without peer.

Fighting against real soldiers? Not so much.

A CNN reporter showed protesters declaring their hatred of America and Israel only to turn around the next day and declare that there is no anger toward Americans from the protesters.

Obama personally saved their lives. Isn’t that what O’Reilly told 50 million SB viewers.
