Sorry, but this looks fake to me. The guy in the cap barely interacts with the NBC crew (Not Fox, how about fixing THAT piece of mis-information) and always stands on the outside of the railing. Though you may have been told to move along by the police, portraying the event in this way does their cause a disservice. I’ve never heard of hungrr.com, but this doesn’t make me want to help them.

For me, the reaction of the cops is just as likely to be because the orange guy *was* being a jerk (popping up behind the reporter or whatever) but that isn't shown on film. I agree their attitude was extreme if all that happened is what we saw on the YouTube video. Without being there or seeing the raw video it's impossible to tell what really happened. Don't let this stop you giving money to good causes though! Being hungry sucks.

Fox had gear set up there and we thought they were from Fox. The title of the clip on YouTube has now been changed to reflect this. Hungrr DOT com is a blog that features news from around the US dealing with the issue of hunger in America. It highlights individuals and organizations working in their own communities to help those in need. There are 35 million Americans who are in need of food assistance. Around 14 million kids. Thanks to all the nice people we met on the line at the Apple store. American people are generous and hard working people. I am not being sarcastic I mean it. Give a few bucks to your local food bank or volunteer some time. The guys were not from Fox. Fox had gear set up there and we thought they were from Fox.

It doesn't matter if the film crew were filming the "almighty apple iphone" it's still just a regular coverage that they film over again. they didn't not have a right to take the law into their own hands and to just redirect, insult, and even threaten a guy who is trying to support starving people in Louisiana if anything they should try to help him get the word out, but i know I'm asking to much there ain't no money in Louisiana or getting a story about it because we all got our fill the first six months afterwards but there is definitely money in covering the iphone.

It's not that I'm siding with "The Media" (keeping in mind that a news crew doth not "The Media" make), I just see some people trying to do something and someone obviously making their jobs harder, I don't care who it was, charity worker or shoe salesman. If they were shooting an independent film the guy would still be messing up the shot with his "big ass head". Cursed at on the Streets of New York? Oh dear! I’ll agree there, the cops were the real jerks there.

It doesn't surprise me that a cameraman or producer is trying to get his best shot, but what grounds do the police have? It looks like the Big Red Guy was buying an iPhone, wasn't everybody else there doing that too?? I don't think any of that equals "a night in jail". The police are public servants, not the cameraman. The NYPD should be getting the complaints, not Fox. I’m surprised more by the police’s reaction than the camera guy.

I was going to come and rant about how unfair the whole situation was but Ben did it for me. I agree with everything he said! I also don't understand why the police were getting involved and why the Fox news guy even tried to get rid of him to begin with. When I watch new reports from situations like this I see people in the background waving and smiling and just plain trying to get attention. Why is this any different? I don't see what the big deal was. That Fox news guy is a jerk and the other one in the orange shirt making that punching fist sign is as well. They need to jump off their pedestal. Wow.

1) it’s a public sidewalk and the mascot has as much right to be there as the film crew. The fact that they work for a news organization and want to film something doesn’t mean they have the right to exclude or direct the acitivities of others.

I have a feeling that had the guy just said "listen, could you do me a favor please..." instead of barraging him with insults, the Hungrr guy may have been a little more accommodating. Or maybe I'm wrong and they're both idiots for behaving like stubborn children.
