Al Jazeera's Egypt coverage




As the ANGER IN EGYPT spreads, Al Jazeera  has found itself being silenced by the Egyptian Governments by removal of its frequency from the Nilesat.  

As protests continue, and as Al Jazeera covers the events as they unfold, many have called for U.S. cable networks to start broadcasting Al Jazeera. An article I read   mentioned the role of Al Jazeera compared to other U.S. news networks. 

Author Jeff Jarvis has began an online campaign to demand Al Jazeera on U.S. cable networks. 


Al Jazeera can now be found on these frequencies in the Egypt. Viewers from the U.S. and other countries that dont have Al Jazeera on TV, can watch live from here
