FOXNews' Mubarak Resignation Blunder

Feb 11th, 2011

Since FOXNews didn't feel the need to actually cover the Suleiman statement announcing Mubarak's departure that I and 100s of millions of others watched around the world, here's footage of their man in Cairo saying "We're now hearing this unbelievable roar from Tahrir Square... we don't know what that's about." Yes, facepalm. This is why we should all be watching Al Jazeera.

Gone! Now What?

Feb 11th, 2011

Hosni Mubarak has stepped down. The atmosphere in Tahrir is clearly electric. The people deserve this moment of jubilant revelry. We can only hope that they continue to press for and achieve the next step... truly free and fair elections.

Clashes In Cairo

Feb 2nd, 2011 7:25am CST

Clashes have begun between pro-Mubarak and anti-government forces in Cairo's Tahrir Square. A short time ago, pro-government partisans charged into the square on horseback. So far, the army and police have continued to exercise restraint. It is possible that Mubarak is attempting to engineer violence to reassert authority. There is strong on the scene coverage here at The Times of India as well as Al-Jazeera.
