It's a new world order for journalists, as a TV reporter found out while trying to do her job last night in San Diego.
Bree Steffen was covering demonstrations against President Donald Trump's visit today when she was attacked.
Steffen posted on Facebook that she's still sore, her camera is broken, but otherwise she's OK.
"Can we just stop with this already though?! It’s not funny anymore," she said.
The station didn't have much to say about the incident other than that the man's motive was unclear and that it didn't have anything to do with the content of the story.
