Why are reporters being attacked?

Many reporters are being attacked in Cairo Egypt. Anti Bubarak people are protesting to get him out of office. A Sweedish reporter was stabbed. Lots of cameras have been taken, reporters have been assulted, and some even threatened with guns pointed to their heads. I think what is going on in Egypt is awful, espically with attacking the reporters. They are just trying to show the rest of the world what is going on. People have the right to know and seek out information without being attacked.
