Anderson Cooper Vs. Egypt

[The Man]

Journalists covering protests in Cairo, including CNN's Anderson Cooper and two Associated Press correspondents, have been roughed up in the crowd.


Cooper says he and his crew were attacked by supporters of President Hosni Mubarak on Wednesday. CNN later said no one was seriously hurt.

Two Associated Press correspondents and several other journalists were roughed up during gatherings of Mubarak supporters. European papers reported that a Belgian journalist was also beaten, detained and accused of spying by unidentified people in civilian clothes.

State TV reported Tuesday night that foreigners were caught distributing anti-Mubarak leaflets, apparently trying to depict the movement as foreign-fueled.

Yah. I seen this. I respect Anderson Cooper tho cos he gots no fear when hittin' these events up. I also seen where that one guy died from being attacked. But Anderson Coopers crazy. His family has had cake since day one so he really has to do this for the thrill and not the money.

Cooper is a great journalist.
