Member of the CNN team stumbled to the ground after being hit in the head with a water bottle

A CNN crew drew the ire of protesters by not putting them on camera, according to the Washington Examiner.

As recounted by Examiner reporter Nic Rowan, who was on the scene, CNN’s crew was taking video of screaming demonstrators when some agitators wanted the crew to film their rally instead.

CNN’s Miguel Marquez tried to explain the facts of media decision-making, but the conversation failed to persuade the demonstrators.
