BBE: the Egyptian Government and its media.

[Ibrahim90]

So Morsi died just a couple days ago, and the Egyptian new media has spun all manner of stories on the subject:

This video from the Joe Shoe has all the sources and clips you need: I can provide a translation, should this make it into the podcast.

The man was clearly maltreated and abused, and this doubtless hastened his death. Yet they refuse to confront the government, and the government is spewing one lie after another.

To me this touches on the subject of political repression--as it does for Joe here  (of Joe Show fame). This is a topic I think needs greater exposure, so that no one forgets the struggles of those who do truly want liberty and decency (I know, Morsi himself wasn't one such, but still).

If possible, I'd like to be co-host for this one this Saturday.
