4:58Now Playing"Following the arrest of two journalists covering the protests in Ferguson, Missouri, some conservative media figures are attacking the reporters for being insufficiently deferential to police, doing "the opposite of journalism," and trying to make the story about themselves.
Protests in Ferguson are ongoing following an August 9 incident that resulted in a police officer shooting and killing unarmed teenager Michael Brown. On August 13, Huffington Post reporter Ryan J. Reilly and Washington Post reporter Wesley Lowery were both detained by police in a Ferguson McDonald's.
On MSNBC's Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough responded to a recap of the arrests by saying, "I'm the one that always gets in trouble, I'll get in trouble here." Pointing to his son, a reporter for the Daily News, Scarborough said, "If I saw that video and my son was the one that the police arrested after that episode, I'd say Joey, here's a clue. When the cops tell you, for like the thirtieth time, 'let's go,' you know what that means, son? It means let's go. I'm sorry."
He continued, suggesting Lowery wanted "to get on TV and have people talk about [him] the next day.""
