Mubarak propaganda in the Washington Post

Look at this trash piece of propaganda in the Washington Post. The writer decided that Mubarak is popular with the Egyptian people.  The writer wants us to believe that the millions who demonstrated were in fact computer-generated and were not real people. But wait: she is marshaling evidence here: "Taymour A. Hasseb, a consultant with the state-run newspaper Al-Ahram, said Mubarak does not get the credit he deserves for the good things he has brought to Egypt, including greater freedom of expression than exists in many Middle Eastern countries, such as Syria and Saudi Arabia.  "Egypt is better now than it was when he came to office," Hasseb said."  She/he decided to visit a major propaganda outlet for Mubarak regime and see for herself whether Mubarak is loved by his people.  This is like asking Beria if Stalin was popular in Russia.  (thanks anonymous)
