This is what I like about the coverage

Many in the Western media AND Western government act horrified regarding scenes of criminality and terrorism by the Mubarak regime. Where have you been for 30 years.  To their credit, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have for 30 years been producing reports after reports about the deteriorating human rights situation in Egypt.  Attacks on journalists? That is a feature of the Mubarak regime.  Where have you all been when the most courageous journalist in the Arab, by my standard, `Abdul-Halim Qandil--freak out, Zionists, he despises Israel as much as I do and prepare to hear about him a lot in the new Egypt--was kidnapped and beaten and left naked on the road to Al-Haram?  No one reported that story.
