They're apparently brain-dead when it comes to understanding sarcasm, or they understood what Kilmeade said but posted the (edited) clip hoping their viewers wouldn't. My money is on stupid as they mentioned that "Fox News has had at least three of its reporters harassed or beaten".
Why "if it were just Cooper?"
There are a lot of reporters over there, they've been covering this story for over a week. If only one or two were being roughed up, it would indicate a decent chance that they were being overly risky or just plain stupid, or perhaps they were even looking for it. But since it has happened to numerous reporters from apparently any country whatsoever it seems like an all out assault on the media is taking place so the fact that one was roughed up doesn't indicate anything other than the fact that he was trying to cover the story.
