The US is being criticised for maintaining its grip on oil economies by backing its autocratic puppets in the Middle East. Though many theories of goodwill, idealism, liberalism, democracy, free speech and peace are propounded, the fact remains that those who formulated these concepts are the chief neglecters of these standards. The US, instead of giving moral prop up to the Egyptian people, endorsed a near-total Internet blackout in Egypt. An American advocacy group ‘Free Press’ claims to have uncovered a link to a California-based technology company that allegedly sold the Egyptian government the equipment that allowed it to track online activities of the Egyptian people.
Already the US media’s coverage of events in Egypt is severely criticised by many. People are questioning whether reporting by the US media is professional and impartial or US-interest centric and commercially driven?
