Shame
So, what kind of person stands there filming while a co-worker is getting her ass kicked?
Update: Redirect shame. Eric in comments says:
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.

So much for ethics in journalism.
But who among us hasn’t wanted to punch a journo?

I would’nt risk injury or death to help a friggin reporter/journalist. When they piss people off, which they’re good at doing, they deserve what they get and I’ll be happy to stand by and watch them get it.
I would’nt risk my life or health to help a lawyer, politician, judge, or liberal either.
