As huge protests against the Muslim Brotherhood-backed government in Egypt have gone on for several days, the crowds have now swelled to an estimated 17,000,000. That's 'Seventeen Million', for those of you in Rio Linda.
If true, these reports would mean what is going on in Egypt right now is the LARGEST DEMOCRATIC PROTEST IN HISTORY.
Why then has the American media seemed determined to mostly ignore these protests that dwarf what went on in Tahir Square in 2011? If the protests that toppled then-President Mubarak merited the breathless, widespread MSM coverage it got at the time, how much more should these present protests be a newsworthy event?
As Adam Baldwin reported on Twitter tonight, here's what the MSM is 'covering' while these historic protests have been ongoing:

What possible reason would the MSM have for deliberately pretending nothing much is going on over there in Egypt the past couple of days?
Well allow ME to speculate.

The LSM don’t want to highlight 0bama’s mess in Egypt.

Still, the mainstream media here in America know who Obama is backing, and for this reason have not felt particularly compelled to point out a supposedly key ally in a volatile region is now facing widespread protests by millions of citizens.
17 million “peaceful” protestors is more then all the people in WWI and WWII - lets hope they don’t have to many weapons.
American media’s idea of a mass protest is seven lesbians kissing outside a Chick-fil-a.
Oh old media, your 15 minutes of FAME is DONE!
LSM/MSM journalists are the scum of the Earth.
The media are silent because last year they were writing fiction instead of journalism and they’re embarrassed at that inconvenient truth. That’s what happened because they were being used by the Marxist Left who put Obama into the White House to topple stable Middle East governments to pave the way for Muslim Brotherhood and a return to the 7th century A.D. Hillary just wants power and herself was unable to think it through.
"If you've followed the news coming out of Egypt the past 2 years, you are well aware there has been little positive to report in the areas of civil liberties, freedom of the press, women's rights, or religious freedom. The crackdown on Christians in the country by Muslim fanatics has been especially horrific."
This is going to lead to someone worse than Morsi.

Exactly. That is it in a nutshell. The corrupt LSM is ALWAYS running cover for him.

Valid point. The LSM could just spin it to Obama’s favor, like they always do.
LSM/MSM journalists are the scum of the Earth.

Double bump.

Probably. If the new Islamic tyrant is worse than the current Islamic tyrant, you can count on President You Didn't Build That to hand him billions of our hard-earned tax dollars in so-called "foreign aid."
Oh old media, your 15 minutes of FAME is DONE!
*******
To quote an old sign off....
And that’s the way it is. LOL
17 MILLION protesters and the LSM ignores them. Disgusting.
