After the fall of the Tunisian regime in January 2011, the logical thing for any newspaper is to put that significant news on its front page with a full headline. However, the Egyptian state news is standing on its own as usual, instead of putting the news as a headline, they decided to Hosny Mubarak's achievements as a headline and say that he offered more than 10,000 new houses and more than 10,000 new jobs for the Egyptian people. As we all know that the headline is supposed to be for the more significant news that happened, and I don't think that anyone would think that Mubarak's achievements are more important that the falling of a corrupt regime.
The Egyptian state TV was not very different from their newspapers. All the world were watching what was happening during the Egyptian revolution, but they state TV didn't think that its worth watching. During the whole month of the revolution, the state TV didn't show once the scene in Tahrir square, instead they kept referring to the people there as "thugs", "foreigners" and "traitors". The lame attempt to twist the truth didn't affect the people and they kept on revolting.
