6. Never gotten that vibe off of him

There may be some adrenaline junkie in him to make him cover what he does but I don't see him as one or the bad guys. Usually he's got the most balanced reporting coming out of the areas in question.

I agree. Engle is usually a trusted reporter Supersedeas Sep 2013 #47

The people of Syria may well be diappointed, he's just reporting, not cheerleading, imho. Little Star Aug 2013 #13

Did you see his reaction? I was completely stunned. I've always admired him greatly but he had me Rowdyboy Aug 2013 #15

No I didn't see that today, I took a nap. But I've never seen him cheer-lead anything before... Little Star Aug 2013 #18

Sorry, we were just watching on MSNBC. I've never seen him say anything CLOSE to this before. Rowdyboy Aug 2013 #20

Sounded out of character to me also. But maybe this time I could be wrong, who knows?.... Little Star Aug 2013 #21

This is not the first clip I saw-he's not quite so angry here but the gist is the same Rowdyboy Aug 2013 #22

Thanks. But he just seems to be reporting what he is seeing and hearing on the ground.... Little Star Aug 2013 #24

In his original response he appeared much angrier, at least in my opinion Rowdyboy Aug 2013 #31

I agree the guy's an asswipe. gopiscrap Aug 2013 #2

Just like the mic, he has no job without war. polichick Aug 2013 #4

Would you rather we have no war correspondents reporting what they hear & see on the ground?.... Little Star Aug 2013 #26

I didn't say that. polichick Aug 2013 #32

Well it sounded like you were bad mouthing him for doing his job.... Little Star Aug 2013 #38

No worries... polichick Aug 2013 #41

Yes. Jobs & money for the MIC. Little Star Aug 2013 #42

No, he's not. I don't always agree with him but he's not as you characterize. cali Aug 2013 #5

I think a little traveling liberalhistorian Aug 2013 #8

He was positively foaming at the mouth about "the children" etc..Resign your job and join the rebels Rowdyboy Aug 2013 #9

I"ve always liked Mr. Engle's reporting. I bet the folk who de-brief him at mulsh Aug 2013 #10

Yeah, he never, ever, puts his skin in the game. bluedigger Aug 2013 #11

Your kidding right? He has put his life in danger many, many times just to report from the streets. Little Star Aug 2013 #16

I guess I needed the sarcasm smilie. bluedigger Aug 2013 #23

I suck at sarcasm :( sorry. Little Star Aug 2013 #27

It was pretty disappointing KoKo Aug 2013 #17

Engle totally surprised me fredamae Aug 2013 #28

He's on the ground, and the rebels have "adopted" him. SoCalDem Aug 2013 #35

How easy for fredamae Sep 2013 #46

I'm sure being on the ground must be heart breaking so I will give him a pass. dkf Aug 2013 #30
