GAZA (Reuters) - Palestinian gunmen kidnapped two foreign journalists working for the Fox News television channel in Gaza on Monday, a witness said.
The witness, a Palestinian who worked with the two journalists, said one of them, a producer, was an American, and the other, whose nationality he did not know, was a cameraman.
The Fox News bureau in Jerusalem said it was checking the report.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the abduction.
The witness said two vehicles blocked the journalist's transmission truck in the center of Gaza City and a masked man put a gun to the bodyguard's head, forcing him to the ground.
The kidnappers then sped away with the two journalists.
Similar incidents in the past in Gaza have ended with the release, usually within hours, of kidnapped foreign journalists or aid workers.
Many of the abductions were carried out by Palestinians pressing a grievance against the Palestinian government or its security forces

I agree with you 100%. Griffin is cool, informative and fair. Shepard is nutty, silly and emotional.

I must have missed something. I take it you think Tobin's reporting reflects a bias?
Answer at your own risk as I have no absolution authority. ;-)

Here's a link to a different article. I'm not to great at posting stuff yet. I'm not either. Too much guessing in filling in the fields on the posting form.

If its Geraldo, they may give him back .

Just got off the phone with Fox Corporate, it was Geraldo Rivera!Is that bad or good?
If it was him, no loss. If we get him back he'll bawl through his bruises or claim he's found Arafat's secret vault.

If its Geraldo, they may give him back. If it's Geraldo, we might not take him.

He would've held a gun to their heads and made them take him. If so, NOW would be the proper time to draw a map in the sand of where they're located.

If its Geraldo, he probably paid them to grab him.
