The Media Keeps America's Problems Going!

     Three stories, one from Reuter's, published by CBS News, one from AP, published by the Israeli YNet News, and one from the Egyptian paper, Ahram Online.

     The Israeli version contains this text:

Morsi repeated the allegation that Egyptians loyal to the now-ousted regime of autocrat Hosni Mubarak were behind the planned protests and that they were working against the January 2011 uprising that toppled Mubarak.

     The U.S. version has this in a caption:

Morsi repeated the allegation that Egyptians loyal to the now-ousted regime of autocrat Hosni Mubarak were behind the planned protests and that they were working against the January 2011 uprising that toppled Mubarak.

And while everyone mentions this, here from Ahram...

[Morsi] "[T]oday we stand against Hezbollah for Syria," he added, referring to the Lebanese fighters [Hezbollah] who officially declared last May their involvement in the fighting in Syria against "Islamic extremists who pose danger to Lebanon," in reference to anti-Al-Assad rebels.


...only Ahram Online Mentions This Part of his alleged condemnation of Hezbollah.

"The Egyptian people have stood by the Lebanese people and Hezbollah against the [Israeli] attack in 2006,"

Referring to Egyptian support for Hezbollah in the past.

And so, yet again, I say Fuck You, CBS!.

By ignoring the part where Morsi praises Hezbollah, Americans can only be surprised (Suprise!) when Morsi behaves in a more pro-Hezbollah fashion, particularly if Hezbollah manages to get connected to doing something heinous to people invading their country, like, say, Americans.
