...of course the left wing reporter and cameraman were unarmed and untrained...
Occam’s razor. The simplest answer is most likely to be correct.
By the way, how are you privy to the reporter being left wing rather than being disarmed by company policy? Facts?
You got me, I have no facts.
Just based on surveys that show reporters are dominated by the left wing.
Cameramen though have never been shown to have the same amount of domination by the left wing as the reporters have.
