I meant they had the best coverage, and live.

But I think BBC is there.

CNN screwed up when they missed Anderson Cooper getting beat and Amanapour flea and get her windows broken out doing so. Makes you kind of wonder whether that's how it happened? We shall see soon as getting punched 10 times in the head will surely leave a mark and he'll be live.

I already saw video of that on the internet (not on CNN <g>) Pretty ugly. Did the gov-sent Mubarik supporters really think riding in on tourist camels and poor slow ponies would keep them from harm? I do give the people of Egypt credit, however - they didn't hurt the animals as they beat the crap out of their riders. Frankly, I've been surprised how non-violent it's been so far, but looks like Mubarik wants to change that. The army needs to escort him away.

Getting violent and ugly overnight. Shots being fired on protesters (suspected to be Mubarik policemen sent by government) and army isn't helping or preventing.

Obama is dropping the ball again. Shocking. How many days will it take for terrorists to enter Egypt through Sudan and set up shop?

Could be looking at up to 20,000 Americans stuck.

Wow reporters getting attacked for no reason. Way to go Egypt. This country should pull all of our people out of there including diplomats. Once this is all over im sure Obama will give Egypt money to rebuild. Pretty much this is turning into a smaller version of Iraq.

The people of Egypt have been very non-violent through out this. They are not a violent people, generally. The army, which is conscription, has been noticably, and admirably, non-violent, too.

It's Mubariks police force and supporters that have brought this latest violence overnight, and it's they who are attacking the journalists.

Obama dropping the ball? Something new to me. Obama is on a basketball court thinking it is a golf course

where's the video of Anderson Cooper getting punched? Saw him last night live and who punched him? Pre-school girls? No marks whatsoever? I call complete BS or *****!

I saw Anderson throw a bitch slap with the limp left and nothing else? Huffington took too long (bad server?) but on youtube give me the times when he got hit? He also said he had a couple escorts yet it seems there were ar least a dozen in crossing guard outfits assisting. Again I call BS. and we are by the turn and at the river.

Why did you bother to watch it? It's not like watching what happened was going to change your already made-up mind about what happened

I guess all the rest of the journalists are lying, too?

For those that are actually worried about what Mubarik is doing to international journalists, it's reported Brian Williams and Katie Couric left Egypt late today for safety fear. ABC producer threatened with beheading. Here's more on journalist crackdowns. Al Jazeera journalist missing.

Christian Amanpour is going to have a 1 hour special on Nightline ABC tonight, interview with Mubarik.

Wash. Post, NY Times, Canada's Globe & Mail reporters arrested; mobs clashed w/ CNN IBN, NPR, Time.

Fox News foreign correspondent Greg Patlok and producer Olaf Wiig were badly beaten. As their colleague John Roberts described it:

They were forced to leave their position when a Molotov cocktail was thrown at it, a large fire erupted. They were forced to flee. They ran out and ran right into the pro Mubarak crowd and were severely beaten and had to be taken to the hospital, spent the night in the hospital. The extent of their injuries was fairly grave, however, they have been released from the hospital.
