NEW YORK — .
Fox's Leland Vittert was rattled following the Washington attack that he said was clearly targeted at his news organization. “The protesters stopped protesting whatever it was they were protesting and turned on us,” he said, “and that was a very different feeling.” Story continuesVittert said he was “extremely grateful” to the Daily Caller for documenting the scene; Galdabini’s camera was smashed. “They were putting themselves at risk,” he said.
“We are truly living in unprecedented and transformative times and freedom of the press is a vital element to the foundation of our society,” Scott wrote. Ian Smith, a photographer for KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh, said that he was attacked by protesters who stomped and kicked him at a demonstration there.
