CNN Versus Faux on Egypt

[brettdale]

I dont think I read it on this forum, perhaps I did, so sorry to the orginal poster, but I read somewhere that
said CNN in their coverage of Egypt is all about the people and the terrible state that thy are in and what has
to be done to help them, while Faux coverage has all been about Egypt being an Islamic terroist state.

1. Al Jazeeras' has been brilliant and balanced

and SHAMED our media outlets.

2. CNN is only very marginally better than Faux.

They keep reporting that people are rioting and looting when the people have been very peaceful and it's Mubarak's thugs that have been caught looting.

Al Jazeera has left everyone else in the dust. Democracy Now! with its tiny budget has its lead producer on the ground in Cairo.

3. Fox, at least for the hour I watched

On a dare mind you... had a few moments of actual news.

Gerardo talked to the NYT reporter at the Pentagon... that is MAJOR Cooties.

Anthony Wiener was on shooting down the brotherhood meme and Huckabee and Gerardo listened.

Yes, they had some of the usual crap... but it is more like... WTF happened? And they were TRYING hard to do actual analysis.

They have had other moments, of course, when they have done the classic.

CNN has done a little the Brotherhood, but been with people... MSNBC has been brilliant, when not on prison channel with Engel... but you want real news. switch to Al Jazeera or BBC

4. Fox has always seemed like religious programming anyway

The commentators all look like the people on those 700 club channels (lol if they still have them anyway). Strange big hairdos, heavy makeup, breathless speaking. Weird

So it wouldn't be surprising that their target audience would be all about the Muslin Terr'ists.
