Arab Spring comes to Egypt again (but this time the media doesn't care)
Did you know the largest demonstration in the history of Egypt, and possibly of the human race, is currently under way against the Obama-supported Muslim Brotherhood regime? A lot of American media outlets have been frantically working to avoid the story, absurdly downplaying the size of the crowds – reliable estimates have run into the millions, which is much larger than the Tahrir Square protests that ousted previous dictator Hosni Mubarak, but certain news outlets have tried downsizing the crowds to "thousands" or "hundreds of thousands" in their reports. And those reports aren’t landing on the front pages, the way those anti-Mubarak protests gained saturation coverage. The contrast between the media's view of the previous demonstration and these far larger protests is stunning.
Even more stunning is the fact that President Barack Obama just happens to be on the same continent while the streets of Cairo boil over, and the protesters have not forgotten his support for the Morsi regime:
You'd think this would all be of great interest to the U.S. media, wouldn't you? Wasn't Egypt advertised as a breathtaking triumph of Obama foreign policy?
