Egypt Campaign Coverage Biased

“Grossly unbalanced and biased in favor of the incumbent,” is the verdict of The Cairo Centre for the Study of Human Rights which is monitoring the campaign for the presidential election, that no one doubts Hosni Mubarak will win.

Some of the state-run press was “altogether critical of Mr. Mubarak’s rivals, but failed to publish any criticism of the president himself.” Independent papers also failed the test of balance and objectivity. Although better than the press, “state television still falls far short of standards of impartiality”.
