Egypt's state and pro-government media have abruptly changed their tune.
Faithful mouthpieces of Hosni Mubarak's regime until the end, they now celebrate the ouster of the longtime Egyptian president and pledge to be more attentive to ordinary Egyptians. State TV even promised to be more truthful in its reporting. During the 18-day uprising, state TV and pro-Mubarak newspapers portrayed the hundreds of thousands of protesters as a minority of troublemakers. While raucous protests raged in downtown Cairo, state-run Al-Nil TV showed serene videos of the Nile River. But on Feb 12, a day after Mubarak's resignation, the message had been turned upside down.
