Egypt

AJ has had the best, live coverage of Egypt.

NEW YORK — Al-Jazeera English has temporarily gained a long-sought American television outlet for its coverage of the Egyptian turmoil, an event that the Qatar-based news network hopes is a turning point for its acceptance in the U.S. market.

Link TV, an independent broadcaster seen primarily on the DirecTV and Dish satellite systems, said Wednesday it is simulcasting about 12 hours a day of live Al-Jazeera coverage to about 33 million of the nation's nearly 116 million homes with televisions. Al-Jazeera's in-depth treatment of the story has won praise from journalists and hostility from Egyptian authorities, who closed the channel's Cairo office and briefly detained six of its journalists.

When the story calms down, Al-Jazeera plans go back to cable operators in the U.S. to seek permanent spots on the air, said Al Anstey, the network's managing director.

I meant they had the best coverage, and live.

But I think BBC is there.

CNN screwed up when they missed Anderson Cooper getting beat and Amanapour flea and get her windows broken out doing so. Makes you kind of wonder whether that's how it happened? We shall see soon as getting punched 10 times in the head will surely leave a mark and he'll be live.

I already saw video of that on the internet (not on CNN <g>) Pretty ugly. Did the gov-sent Mubarik supporters really think riding in on tourist camels and poor slow ponies would keep them from harm? I do give the people of Egypt credit, however - they didn't hurt the animals as they beat the crap out of their riders. Frankly, I've been surprised how non-violent it's been so far, but looks like Mubarik wants to change that. The army needs to escort him away.

Getting violent and ugly overnight. Shots being fired on protesters (suspected to be Mubarik policemen sent by government) and army isn't helping or preventing.

Obama is dropping the ball again. Shocking. How many days will it take for terrorists to enter Egypt through Sudan and set up shop?

Could be looking at up to 20,000 Americans stuck.

where's the video of Anderson Cooper getting punched? Saw him last night live and who punched him? Pre-school girls? No marks whatsoever? I call complete BS or *****!
