Is it me?

[PhillySane]

or is there a lot less live coverage of Egypt out there today? CNN is only streaming Egyptian State TV. What's up?

[Vincardog]

1. The govt has turned its' dogs lose on the people, we can not have real coverage of that can we?

[gateley]

4. To be fair to the crews that are over there -- they've been targeted by Mubarak's

police so maybe there's actually less coverage coming out of there if they're laying low.

[PhillySane]

5. Yeah but

CNN isn't even blogging or updating printed reports. Strange.

[gateley]

7. I didn't know that. Again, we must turn to AJE. They've been exceptional! nt

[PhillySane]

8. Whoops

just found the blog. Seems as though all reporters are being rounded up by the military/police. Shit.

[gateley]

2. It's not you. AJE seems to be the only one still blanketing it. Although I haven't

checked BBC online, but I know they've been covering it as well - just don't know if the amount of coverage has lessened as it has here.

To be fair, there IS other valid news, but I hope it's not reduced to just a 2 minute segment per hour.

6. Heh

I saw on the Beeb the animals being rode into the crowd and the poor animals being stripped of their mounts.

I'd say those idiots won't be doing that again.
And the response, while violent, was a measure of self-defense, wholly justified.

[gateley]

9. Yeah, they were going after the RIDERS, not the horses and camels -- TOTALLY justified. nt

[BeFree]

12. Too

The Beeb also showed the assholes on the top floors of the buildings dropping fire-bombs on the peaceful people below.

[alsame]

3. AJE said much of its equipment was confiscated. nt

[PhillySane]

10. Seriously though

It's like completely blacked out AND all posts on this topic are getting un-rec-ed.

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. Press critters are getting attacked

and having equipment seized. The government is preparing for a blood bath...you cannot have cameras now, can you?

[Adsos Letter]

13. I recc'ed this, and it's still at zero...wtf?

[PhillySane]

14. WTF?

Either we've been infiltrated by someone (?) or a lot of DUers just don't want to hear about Egypt today. Which do you prefer?

15. They are arresting the journalists and we are refusing Al Jazeer

access, Between the two we have less real news.

[PhillySane]

16. Refusing AJE access?

How? Who?

[jwirr]

17. You will have to search for this DU post because I do not know how

to find it back but I read it this morning. Something about internet control.

[PhillySane]

18. Great.

Just curious if it was being denied by American servers or from over there.

[jwirr]

20. Yes, it was some of the servers. That I do remember.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

19. If it takes more than 72 hours the US viewers lose interest

and we have to come up with something else to show...like missing persons or celeb gossip...

sP

21. I just find it

strange that CNN was on this thing like flies on shit yesterday, Anderson Cooper got beat up and everything, but today, zilch.
They must really be putting the fist down on reporters there. CNN probably got theirs out. I just hope that's it, and its not a crackdown on this side.

Here's to all the brave reporters who have stayed! Thank You!
