You won’t find headlines regarding Egypt in the American mass media anymore, because the much easier to take gawk-worthy videos and pictures demonstrating conflict and violence in Libya. And further, it would take some real work to produce serious stories regarding Egypt’s fledgling democracy. Bonus points for covering Libya instead: Reporters can simultaneously discuss U.S. military intervention. Bring on those retired generals! America’s itchy aircraft-bomb-dropping finger is already on the hair trigger! We are indisputably the land of War Made Easy and Conflict Pornography.
