"The issue is that whether it is or not is not as important as the fact that the military needs it to be and has deemed it so, and the media are not only being force-fed this line but being forced to regurgitate it. My question is this: If the terrorist case is so cut and dried, and is as clear as the sun, why does the regime need to constantly repeat it? Why does the Presidency deliver statements in English first? Why has private satellite channel OnTV Live dubbed its transmission into English? Why is the international media being given “advice” by the State Information Service about its coverage urging outlets to be “accurate in their coverage and not to rely on false information and use only verified reports in a bid to convey an honest image without any distortion”? I fear dark days ahead for media outlets that don’t see the same “honest image” as the Egyptian state."
