1123: In Cairo, Professor Abdallah Al-Ashal has told the BBC that the Egyptian army is "in a big mess". It doesn't want to be embarrassed, and some senior officers are very dismayed, he says. He adds that President Mubarak doesn't seem to be accepting comment or hints from anyone close to him.

You can watch live coverage on wwitv.com and not filtered news.

On the left side of the site, go to News(live) and select the english speaking Iran station. Well, it may have some filtering but they have live pictures from Cairo.

The CNN reporting is absolutely REPREHENSIBLE.

It is a combination of extreme slant in favor of the demonstrators and Muslim Brotherhood, and at other times it is total ignorance, such as trying to overinterpret regular daily noon prayers but doing so incorrectly.

The nerve of them to call Nile TV or Egypt TV (State TV) as propaganda pieces telling only one side of the story. CNN is also telling only one other side.

Their interviews with friendly (to crowds) academics or with demonstrators themselves is very coddling and softball and supportive (you almost get the feeling when the shut the cameras off in the crowd, they must hug and high five each other), and on the other hand, when they RARELY have Egyptian government spokespeople on, they rudely badger them to death, not listening to a word they say, signing off sarcastically.

These people are TOTALLY in the can for the crowds in the streets and with, as the must hope, the emerging Muslim Brotherhood dominance. My wont they just love a stampede and people crushed to death? This CNN knows no SHAME.
