Well, it's terrible that it happened to her, but what happens to a white celebrity reporter is now going to obscure what happens to egyptian women and noncelebrities. i any that's pretty poor, too. it's our job to care about injustice and mistreatment wherever it happens. i know that you and i and ashley care about the plight of egyptian women and we will be bringing that to the world's attention if we knew about those stories. just because she's white and a celebrity is really no reason to lose compassion. if i can also just jump in and say, though, there are a lot of people on the right who ...

Banfield of abc news. joan, when you first heard what nir rosen had said, what did you make of it? >> well, i thought it was horrible, anderson, and i assumed that he was making light of a sexual assault since i had read the cbs short story as well, and it was pretty clear what happened. so i'm not going to call him a liar. only he knows what he knew. by it was incredibly insensitive. and talking sexual assault aspect, to be mocking someone you don't like who has been injured and mistreated, i would rather think that we don't have those responses, that we put down the politics and think wow, i...
