Anderson Cooper Death Threat: Breaking News
By Geno McGahee
CNN Anchor Anderson Cooper was viciously attacked while in Cairo, covering the pro-democracy uprising. He, and his crew were beaten and now is in an undisclosed location, hiding away from the violent mob that may try to take it a step further.
Anderson spoke with The Hollywood Report in a phone interview and stated that “It was chaotic…I’ve been in riots and melees before, but this is the first time that I’ve been in a situation that escalated to a level where we really had no control. Many people in the crowd came for a fight and that’s what they have.”
Journalism can be very dangerous, especially when you are covering an uprising like this. RSR wishes Anderson Cooper a very safe return.
