The protests that are happening in
Egypt as we speak have been going on for five days now, and are still not under
control. The Egyptian citizens are protesting against the president and specially
his decision to impose curfew on the cities along the Seuz Canal.
During the protest dozens of people
has been killed, and last night one man died during an attack on a police
station, and several guards got injured. In total there are about 40
people who have gotten killed. The citizens does not seem to care about the
rules or the decisions the president Muhammed Morsi have made.
There is a big difference between
the news pages. On CNN the protest in Egypt is not mentioned at all. You have
to search for something very specific for it to show, and if you do, you don’t get
very much information. But if you check out the front page on BBC, you can see
the protest as the biggest and newest news. You also get an impression of it
being the most important news. I think this has something to do with what kind of
news the different channels focus the most on, for example international news,
or news only from your own country. I also checked Vg.no and there is hard to find anything very spesific, and there has not been written so much about it.
