The White House is calling on the Egyptian government to immediately release any journalists who have been detained in the course of covering the country's political unrest, saying the "systematic targeting" of reporters is "totally unacceptable."
The Obama administration strongly condemned the behavior of pro-government supporters, after a number of international journalists -- including Fox Business Network's Ashley Webster, and Fox News' Greg Palkot and Olaf Wiig -- were attacked, intimidated and in some cases jailed in Cairo. As pro- and anti-government demonstrators continue to clash, those covering the historic events have apparently become a target as well. The Obama administration claimed the acts were part of a concerted campaign.

Just the other day CNN showed the protesters saying they hate America and Israel. Sounds to me like either side would kick their ass.
Hell I want to kick Shep Smith’s butt most days.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I do hope that Palkot and Wiig weren’t injured as badly as it sounds. I really respected Mr. Palkot for speaking up about our troops during the Abu Ghraib aftermath. He used my son’s unit as an example of professionalism. It made me ill to hear about his beating.

SO.... who exactly IS the Egyptian Government, at this point ?
"But if you want to pick them off at random...be my guest."
signed Imam Obama
Fox has really missed the fact of who is behind all of this.
This will make them stop. Fer sher.
I was thinking the same thing. Nobody in the world is worried about Obama now. They all have his measure and know that he is a contemptible lightweight with less sand than a bowl of tapioca pudding.
Total BS.
Have you seen any notice that the US has cut off all foreign aid to Egypt?
Have you seen notice that they will no longer sell repair parts for their fighters and tanks?
And their missiles?
The US could put a stop to abuse by the Egyption army in one day if they really cared to.
All the US needs to do is threaten the above. The government would fall in short order with no money and no support for their equipment.
While many if not most news folk are professionals
Many simply have an agenda.
And as they say some folks just need a good ass kicking (Dan rather com to mind)

If they were really journalists I would be outraged. But these are not journalists they are agents and operatives for the Obama/International NWO. The demonstrators are not poor college students. They are Muzzie fanatics.
Hahahahahha!
The majority of news “journalists” need their a$$es kicked into next week anyway. I can’t stand Palkot because I believe he would sell out an American Serviceman down the tubes as quick as a liberal.
The great “unwashed” of the world can’t understand distinction between good and bad journalists....you buy the ticket...you ride the train...at your own risk....
Personally I think more MSM journ-o-lists need to go to Egypt to get a first-hand account.
.....Anderson Cooper can’t be too bright....blond hair blue eyed, well dressed, camera in tow.......goes out amongst Muslim rioters ...*to get the story*.....like most things this idiot does....the story becomes Anderson Cooper.
Maybe if 0bama stamps his feet and holds his breath until he turns blue in the face, then they’ll pay attention.
....good thing the rioters don’t know Anderson IS GAY!!
