Inside Story - Egypt through a US media lens

Subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe The US media's coverage of events in Egypt has been described by some critics as a recipe for killing the democracy movement in its cradle. The mainstream American media have wheeled out the usual suspects to offer their expertise on the topic - but do they really get it? On this episode of Inside Story we shine a spotlight on US media coverage of the uprising in Egypt and ask whether their reporting has been professional and impartial or US-centric and commercially driven. And what about the knock-on effect on the American public? Could the mainstream media's ratings war be driving them to create fear of democracy in the Middle East so as to make the story relevant to their viewers?
