(46 posts)He was in a war zone approaching troops and he tripped a flare which made him think he was being shot at. You act as if you or anyone else would act differently. I think anyone in that scenario would be scared out of their mind. I would assume you have never experienced the heightened fear and adrenaline levels that come with your life being at stake in combat zones where you can actually die rather than just sit at your keyboard eating a bag of potato chips and having a coke. Why the hostility towards a journalist covering a story? Just because they report for what you consider a news network that "you" don't trust?
Your attitude is one of self absorption and seems lacking in empathy for someone who is supposedly on the liberal left. Here is that video for other posters who want to see what your make fun of.
I will add that if people watch this young mans You Tube channel they will see that he has constantly been on the ground in Ukraine reporting non stop and uploading for the last three months. Now ask yourself why our own mainstream media couldn't spend the time or money to do the very same thing. Personally I commend this guy as he seems very brave and unselfish in these situations. I wish the US media had people like him.
