Compilation of Reporters getting beat up, knocked down, and otherwise embarrassed:

Some classics here and some I'd never seen before.

Though the dude getting hit by a dirt bike was pretty rough.
Poor guy must have broken his neck. The plane guy must be wrecked too.

That was a woman who got hit by the dirt bike... if we're talking about the same clip.

John Stossel, who got slapped by the wrestler, had partial hearing loss because of the incident and successfully sued the WWF for close to a half-million dollars because of it.

I know it's mean, but the woman and the dirt bike made me laugh. Swinging her legs all chipper then just a burst of flames and she's down...

God, I know that's mean.:

But I meant the guy, after the woman on the back of the truck clip.
It was during a race and the bike just slams him from behind.

I had the sound off, here at work, so I don't know why that wrestler prick slapped that poor guy, but man that was rough too. I'm not much for suing anybody, but losing your hearing, I think the WWF got off a bit easy. For all of their money half a mil isn't much to them.

That's a horse not a bike.

I just looked again, wow, how did I miss that?
Something wrong with me...

The wrestler claimed that he was put up to it by Vince McMahon and the WWF. Basically Stossel is asking him if wrestling is fake, and the guy responds by saying "does this look fake to you" and slapping him upside the head.

There's a few DMN writers I wish were on that clip. JJT getting ran over by a tank or something would be nice.

and Stossel suffered permanent hearing damage from the blows...

Which adds to the humor of it, IMO.

That snowboarder took that guy out.

We need more dead reporters. That would chase the scum out of the profession.

A reasonable line or two in the sand would work for me.

I think after Princess Di.... laws were made/changed in Britian. Paparazzi is now different over there.
