Reuters reports that a cameraman was wounded in a rocket attack by Lebanese guerrilla in the Israeli city of Nahariya on Thursday, while a Fox News crew said on-air that it was being fired upon.

Rami Amichai, a journalist for Reuters covering the ongoing escalation in northern Israel and Lebanon, was hit in the lower leg with shrapnel when the rocket struck nearby. He was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Fox News reporter David Lee Miller was filing a live report from central Gaza this morning when suddenly a single shot rang out which he said was fired in his crew's direction. Miller disappeared from view, but continued to give audio commentary as he got in his car and left the scene. Miller speculated that the shot was fired by Israeli soldiers positioned nearby to scare his camera crew away from the area.

I though Faux News did all their Middle East 'reporting' from the bar of the Dubai Hyatt. These guys must really have been lost.

Reality keeps outpacing you.

5. According to Raw - Faux Crew was reporting Israeli Troop Movements

According to Faux News Rules - doesn't that justify the Israelis shooting at them? :sarcasm:

After revealing detailed information about the movement of Israeli troops, a Fox News crew has been shot at on live television.

11. for what it's worth

it wasn't really a real news story or a report. Rawstory writer watched TV just like any poster on DU does and wrote up what they saw as if it was a news story.

10. Better to shoot them over there than over here. Fox. Where's Deadeye Dick?
