When I read the headline the first thing I thought of was Chris Rock's: "I'm not saying he should've done it, but I understand."
Watching the video I could only ask myself, why wasn't the reporter's cameraman helping her?? I don't care if your job is filming things, when you see a woman being attacked you don't just stand there and film it.
I am no big fan of obnoxious reporters (e.g. Aguilar from Fox in Dallas), but the story actually states that the reporter's cameraman DID intervene to protect her. I believe the cameraman is the black guy in the tan sports jacket, who is seems to be trying to pull the reporter out of the fur ball (He's not carrying any gear because the reporter states he had already put his stuff away before she was attacked. It appears to me the video starts after the fight has already begun).
The video is from a DIFFERENT TV station's crew.
Might be fun to interview the second TV crew and ask them (on camera of course) why the filmed instead of helping their industry colleague.

Most reporters are liberals, and they don't believe in helping during an attack; they believe that is the job of the police.
One of many reasons I am not a liberal, I guess.
Posted by: BobG at March 13, 2008 11:22 AMThe left doesn't help because they feel it's up to the police to intervene, and them bash them for their actions, claiming they started the whole thing. Don't confuse liberals with the left, please. There's very little truly liberal about the left.
As well, ratings are ratings, even if someone's in peril. While one cameraman did the right thing, the others went for the big ratings.
