Reporting on blizzard conditions in Philadelphia proved dangerous for both local and national reporters alike this morning. Unidentified assailants interrupted two live shots by throwing snowballs.
Well, “throw” may be too strong a word for this action.

While we can’t condone violence against journalists, these reporters should have known something like this could happen. This is the same city that peppered Santa Claus with snowballs at an Eagles game back in 1968.
