This week at the Listening Post -- Egypt’s media gears up for the presidential elections. “There are two narratives that have paved the way in the media for Sisi’s presidential run. The first one is a public order narrative. The second narrative is a narrative of national security and that has to do with the Muslim Brotherhood being designated as a terrorist organisation. The Egyptian media, largely subservient, have echoed this. When these two narratives meet they create the perfect storm for a strong man to be the leader of Egypt.” - Marwan Kraidy, Media Scholar - University of Pennsylvania Tune in tomorrow at 0830GMT on Al Jazeera English - available online soon after.
