"Church's attacked, Christians killed"
They are spinning this into a "radical Islamist" uprising. What a filthy network.

7. No, I saw him speak about it live, is there an unequivocal statement |
|
Somewhere?
If he comes down on the side of the dictator, we're in a world of hurt.

10. Agreed, but We all saw O claim he would stand up for a number of issues that |
|
He let us down on, so I'm mildly hopeful, but far from convinced.

For a violent incident on the part o the freedom fighters to justify a crackdown.

Well it does in the context of what sort of Pres he is. But spinning this that direction is helpful to the boys' cause.

9. It's just the beginning of the PR that will be on every network all |
|
The time and claim the Egyptian people represent the Muslim Brotherhood, and the dictator/President is, reluctantly, who we must support to keep us safe no matter how much violence he unleashes on the people.

I am expecting a lot of Bush-Era "experts" on middle east to be brought out by CNN etc.

that the Muslim Brotherhood is leading it now. Everyone else is saying that is not the case. I guess the RW wants to go into Egypt now.

22. Expect more of this to counter peaceful protests in Egypt |
|
Demonizing Middle-Easterners, Arabs and Muslims is one of their specialties. Peaceful protests in an Arab country? Gotta ramp up the hate stories to counter it. Fux News--always predictable.

He wouldn't let go of the batch of gas masks found and was spewing crap about Jordan... What a filthy network indeed

25. They engage in disseminating false information 24/7. |

This is the only purpose for the existence of Fox News. I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that Fox News was the creation of American intelligence.

It would seem they are doing their bit to rewrite history.
