The anchor was "punched 10 times in the head," CNN producer Steve Brusk Tweeted.

Anderson Cooper was attacked in Egypt Wednesday.

CNN producer Steve Brusk Tweeted, "Anderson said he was punched 10 times in the head as pro-Mubarak mob surrounded him and his crew trying to cover demonstration."

We are all a little too inclined to believe the first thing we see reported, especially on twitter.

Well, that is where the WH staff get their news.

[RoseofTexas]

Dumb idiot! He should have been wearing a sign declaring his LOVE for the mooslim brothers along with a I'm a liberal and love Sharia law! That would have done the trick!! Otherwise, BOOMARANG baby!!

[ConservativeStatement]

In this case, a punchingbagger.

[skeeter]

Thats what Cooper gets for listening to his industry's propaganda.

No doubt he thought he'd be pelted with daisies by grateful little natives.

[UCANSEE2]

I don't want the guy to be hit or hurt, however when you think because you are a reporter that somehow you are immune from the violence you find yourself in/covering you are a fool.

But...... the UN passed a law saying that all 'reporters' are to be treated as neutrals, no matter 'who' they are. Reuters, AP and CNN signed off on it. There should be immediate outrage in the World-Wide Media!

[Portcall24]

Fly that mob to Hollyweird where they’ll find a target rich environment.

[njslim]

Muslim thugs should be told you dont hit girls.....

[UCANSEE2]

Or Islamist goons claiming to be Mubarak supporters

You mean Mubarak's State Police ?

[svcw]

HAha. The UN - Unified Numskulls.

[Dick Vomer]

drama queen.... First of all, if he were hit properly he wouldn’t be able to count the blows or remember them.

Secondly, slapped in the face by a “teabag” doesn’t constitute a punch.

Thirdly, he’s a flaming liberal, therefore he can’t count to ten.

I call Bull-Sh#t on Cooper the Pooper’s misadventure in Cairo.

[PA-RIVER]

Is he still talking with a lisp?

If he his, they didn’t hit him hard enough.

[Chuck54]

Hey now, it could’ve been worse.

He beat ‘em back with his purse.

[WVKayaker]

I wonder where Whoraldo is? I don't watch either of them (plus Shepdog), but I do get excited when I hear about Darwin Awards! They're idiots looking for glory!

[skeeter]

My guess is the pro-mubarek crowd knows that CNN is not on their side.

Weren't many in the anti-Mubarak crowd shouting 'death to America' over the past several days?

[Enterprise]

Liberal media beware. The crowd was probably anti-Obama. Obama said he got Mubarak to step down, and you people just might not be too popular in Egypt right now.

[Hulka]

Exactly.

[rrrod]

I am really really trying to give a shi’ite..........

[MaxMax]

They were supposed to embrace him for Hating America too.

[UCANSEE2]

In this case, a punchingbagger.

I think Cooper just didn't understand what an EGYPTIAN TEA PARTY is.

They have a very different 'concept' for TEA-BAGGING than Anderson Cooper has.

[fso301]

Does Christine Amanpour have an alibi?

Actually, I saw her last night on Nightline tightly pressed against by a mob of men who I'm sure she was allowing to grope and fondle her in exchange for footage.
