Written by Darcey

I think I just fell in love - Georgian television reporter Tamara Urushadze was shot in the arm by a sniper while reporting a story live and as her colleagues bandage her up she continues to report:

She's awesome! But why weren't they already wearing their "TV" body armour? And the sniper had to be able to see she was media, what with the microphone, camer, etc. I wonder who shot her?

It looked like the bullet grazed her left forearm; from behind, perhaps.
That she was holding down by her waist.
As she was standing in front of the cameraman.
How close did the cameraman come to singing soprano?

Went to CNN to have a look, they've got a slightly longer video.
It seems to be in and out through her forearm.
She's one tough woman.

No link, per se. Just went to CNN's page, clicked on the item and saved the resulting video (from a normally hidden temp file) before it finished and the page started on the next video. But, this is a copy of the link ...

Great video D. Where is the accompanying love song to go with the post? You gotta romance her, silly.

Has anyone here seen the footage of the (apparently drunk!) Russian soldier shooting at Israeli reporters?

Dang, Darcey, that spam filter is a little over eager. Y'all gotta copy and paste the link yerselves.

I have been reading reports of Russian troops looting and pillaging and shooting civilians all day ( mostly from European reporters)...but the best one was from a Dutch reporter stating how the entire Ruski media is in lock step propaganda mode..uniform incident reports and talking points....total conformity politically.

They ( the Ruskis) were believed to have shelled a international journalists building in hopes of killing all the foreign reporters there but just got a Belgian reporter. The European journalists believe they want total media control over the stories coming out of Georgia.

This sniper deliberately targeting a reporter seems to validate that.

Well geez, WLMR; of course the Russki media is in lock-step propaganda mode. All it took was for Pooty-Poot to kill a few journalists to get the rest of them in line.
