Why are reporters being attacked?

In this article it's just basically talking about why these reporters are getting attacked. There was a video attached to the article which was about how Anderson Cooper recently got attacked again and he was explaining a little about what it was like but didn't go into much detail for his own safety. The people of Egypt do not want these reporters to come into their country and write stories about what is happening because they want their privacy. So they have harming journalists so that the word doesn't come out of the journalists mouth and also to strike fear into other people into not coming to Egypt and making a story.
