Journalists wreck TV studio in live talk show fight

AMMAN — Two journalists in a televised debate about the civil war in neighbouring Syria literally turned — and overturned — the table on each other during an on-air brawl.

The programme, which aired last Tuesday on the “Seven Stars” satellite television channel, featured journalists Shaker Al Johari and Mohammad Al Jayousi talking about the three-year-old war pitting rebels against President Bashar Assad’s government.

However, the debate fell apart as Jayousi accused Johari of supporting the Syrian rebels.

Johari then accused Jayousi of taking money for supporting Assad.

The two men then stood up and grabbed the edge of the studio table they had been seated at, and tried to fight each other.

In the scuffle, the top of the table broke off and the rest of it toppled as the moderator and studio workers tried to stop the fight and finally separated the two journalists.
