Fox News’ Greg Palkot, Blindfolded And Beaten In Egypt, Gives First Interview Today
As previously reported, Fox News journalists Greg Palkot and video journalist Olaf Wiig suffered serious injuries after being detained by military police in Egypt, blindfolded and accused of being Israeli spies. Now Mediaite exclusively learned that Palkot and Wiig gave an on air interview to John Roberts in London today, their first interview since they were severely attacked. Parts of the interview will air during Fox News’ America’s Newsroom tomorrow around 10am, and then throughout the day.
Furthermore, Mediaite discovered that Palkot and Wiig were flown from Cairo to London via a Medivac (a flying hospital jet) on Friday and were taken straight to a hospital in London, where they stayed and weren’t released until Saturday afternoon. Today, for the first time, they felt well enough to speak out and tell their story. With many American media outlets fearing for the safety of their reporters in Egypt, and with Fox News’ own reporters still reporting from Cairo, the interview with Palkot and Wiig will certainly shed light about what types of dangers reporters should be concerned with moving forward.
Watch the interview from Fox News below:
