Egypt: If A Country of 80 Million People Falls And The Media Is Deaf, Does Anyone Hear?

There is none so blind as he who will not see. The MSM will not report the transformation of Egypt into an Islamofascists state. It’s not part of the template. The uprisings and riots in the Middle East are demands for “democracy and freedom” of an oppressed people. That’s the template and – dammit – that’s what the media are going to report. Facts on the ground be damned.

There are a lot of complaints about the mass media not reporting important developments. But what about when a major newspaper publishes a revelation of huge global importance and no one pays attention?


In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Amr Moussa, the most important and popular politician in Egypt and almost certain to be the next president, stated that the Muslim Brotherhood is going to dominate the country’s parliament. This isn’t me saying this, it’s Amr Moussa:




It is inevitable that parliamentary elections in September will usher in a legislature led by a bloc of Islamists, with the Brotherhood at the forefront.
