WOW! I had to watch the whole 6 mins of video, before my opinion came around to that of the OP.
The cameraman was "just doing his job," but I don't blame the men for not wanting to be on camera. The men had no right to demand for the
cameraman to leave, they were on a city sidewalk, and the cameraman was covering a news story.
However, the cameraman continued to provoke them every time they tried to leave. He resorted to cursing at them, and calling them terrorists, until
he got the reaction that he sought. Then the news channel aired the best of that reaction?
Imagine if the news channel had aired the part where the cameraman is following two Muslims down the sidewalk and calling them terrorists while they
say, "please stop." That would have been an entirely different news story!
I say, that if this happened to me, it would have been worth a night in jail to give that cameraman an impromptu colonscopy with his own camera! Air
that!

"And that very same day, a demonstration that getting angry may be just what the media want.
Peter Mitchell: An accused rioter has clashed with a television cameraman after facing court on charges arising from the attack on the Oakleigh Bob Jane store...
— Channel Seven News, Victoria, 1st April, 2010
The charges are serious, but of course not yet proven.
And anyway, it wasn't the accused rioter who was first shown clashing with the cameraman outside the Melbourne Magistrates Court"...
Please visit above link for full story.
Explanation: It speaks for itself!
Personal Disclosure: Was this as Holmes said on Media Watch, “edifying stuff”?
Was the camera man really just doing his job?
For me it is a Yes to the 1st question as I can see the irony in his sarcasm!
As for the 2nd question I have to answer No as he clearly stepped outside the bounds of the law when he both slandered and libeled Mr Amr.

So what do my fellow ATS members think of this issue from a conspiratorial POV i.e. Was the camera man paid by his MSM bosses to be provocative or did he just fly off the handle?
IMO it is both!
