Can someone point out how exactly why this woman was “harassed”? Come on, it shouldn’t be hard.
She shouts down the person she’s interviewing, for crying out loud, argues with him, editorializes and generally shows such dripping elitist disgust for the people at the protest that she couldn’t have made that any clearer if she’d intentionally vomited on someone.
Which is exactly the sort of thing these folks are fed up with! Of course it pissed them off! It pissed me off and I wasn’t even there, I was just watching on television!
I was absolutely shocked at this reporter’s behavior and I’m someone who already has no respect for mainstream journalism. Can you imagine a high school journalism student conducting an interview and displaying any portion of this woman’s interviewing technique and not getting ganked by her teacher for it?
And yet it’s acceptable at CNN? A major news network?
What the hell?

Weird. Were the protesters arguing among themselves as well?

Oddly enough, I only noticed them arguing with the reporter. Weird, huh?

I’m such a goof. I actually went back to the video, looking for some guy in a gorilla suit I missed before.

It’s easy to miss something you’re not looking for.

Yeah, I already know! That’s what I mean. I was halfway through the video, looking for a guy in a gorilla suit so I could see what the significance of that was, why you’d mention it…when it hit me.
Doh! Guy in a gorilla suit.

There are too many adjectives for what that reporter did to list them all.
