An article attacking western media outlet's coverage of Egypt's internal affairs, written in English by the Foreign Ministry spokesperson, was published on Sunday on the ministry's official Facebook page. In his article, the spokesperson explained that western media depicts conditions in Egypt as deteriorating while ignoring any positive efforts or achievements. Regarding the ongoing unrest in North Sinai, Abu Zeid said the UK-based newspaper The Guardian does not publish fair or accurate coverage of incidents in the governorate. The spokesperson pondered the reasons that would push western media outlets to descent to such manipulative tactics when it comes to Egypt, all while ignoring major excesses in others parts of the world. But in doing so, some media outlets are not only drowning out voices of prudence and reason, they are also insulting the intelligence of their own readers," he concluded.
