DEM/MSM: Not Having A Wonderful Time

CNN's Anderson Cooper gets thumped-on in Egypt:

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."

Cooper then escaped to the roof of a nearby building, where he said on air that he and his crew were trying to get to a neutral zone between protestors and pro-Mubarak supporters when they "were set upon by pro-Mubarak supporters punching us in the head. The crowd kept growing, kept throwing punches, kicks...suddenly a young man would look at you and punch you in the face."

CNN's Christine Amanpour (from her blog) -- whom the Egyptians should love because she sympathizes with Islam predominantly, is from the Left and CNN -- gets threatened:

As we were trying to film on the bridge into Tahrir Square an angry mob of pro-Mubarak protesters surrounded us and chased us into the car, shouting that they hated us and America.

We jumped into our car but some of the protesters kicked in the car doors and broke our windshield as we drove away.

The worst clashes since Friday erupted today in Cairo with pro- and anti-Mubarak mobs facing off in Liberation Square. Shots have been fired and there have been reports of injuries.

And our embracing, all-revelatory, transparency-loving White House shuts out reporters, who have filed formal complaints:

After being shut out of the President’s Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) is appealing to the White House to give the press corps access to an event that’s been called one of the President’s most important foreign policy priorities for almost a year – the signing of the START Treaty. In a letter to Press Sec. Robert Gibbs, the WHCA Board complained about their lack of access to the President throughout the crisis in Egypt and outlined their request to open today’s treaty signing to the White House pool.

Ah yes, does the phrase "reaping what one sows" potentially come into play at this point, do you suspect?

Please excuse the giggling schadenfreude. There. Done.
