There is a network of propagandists worldwide sending talking points to international media and newsrooms portraying the events in Egypt as either oppression against the Islamists, or minimally as chaos because of the attacks by the Army on the Muslim Brotherhood.
Obviously if you watch Egyptian TV and have access to free Egyptian social media or have access to civil society NGOs inside Egypt, the image would be different. In fact it is a Jihadi War waged by the Ikhwan and their Jihadi allies against the secular revolution that removed them after 30 to 40 million people demonstrated against Morsi’s regime.”
An overwhelming majority of people sides with the Army in its measures to remove the Ikwan militias from the cities.
The real story, that many in the US media are not reporting about is the all out attack by the Brotherhood against police stations, jails, hospitals and the burning of dozens of Churches across Egypt.
The apologist segment of American media is manipulated by the Ikhwan “newsroom” and thus ignores the reality of the confrontation in Egypt.
