Reaction to Mubarak's Speech

Below is a clip of Fareed Zakaria’s reaction to Mubarak’s speech. Zakaria said, “He didn’t seem to understand that the crowd’s anger was directed at him”



And Anderson Cooper's reaction:

  1. Anderson became a little too emotional in his response to Mubarak's speech.
    A reporter should always be objective and he should have phrased it in a more impartial manner.
    What he says is probably true, but if he should ever try to reenter the country, even under a different regime, it could become problematic.

  2. Now that Mubarak is resigning for real this time,
    my guess is that Anderson will be heading to
    Egypt this weekend. CNN needs to stand back and
    let us experience as much of the atmosphere of
    the history. I too would like to see the journos
    take over the news in prime time. If they are
    good enough to handle the breaking news as
    it is happening, how come they get kicked to
    the curb in prime time for amateurs for 2 hrs.

  3. I wonder if this will be one of those record
    breaking ratings day for CNN. People come
    to CNN for big news and it gets not bigger
    than what is happening in Egypt. It is history
    in real time. Technology is so advanced now
    sot they can be live all night long if possible.
    I applaud the coverage so far.

  4. Guess what folks?
    FOX News beat CNN last time with the coverage on Egypt and my guess is they will beat them this time and I don't think American journos should be there right at this moment so they can say "So how does this make you feel?"
    The results of this will not be known for quite some time and it is not the time for foreign journos to cover something they can cover from here.

  5. Thank you Ben Wedeman,Ivan Watson,
    Arwa Damon, Fred Pleitgen, CNN writers,
    producers & photojournalists and all of
    those people on the ground in Egypt
    bringing us the historic 18 days of
    coverage out of Egypt. I had to post this
    after hearing so many Egyptians thanking
    the reporters of CNN for broadcasting their
    story and shining the light on the events.
    Thanks to Hala Gorani & Anderson Cooper
    as well for broadcasting live from Cairo
    even when the Egyptian authorities did
    all they could to stop you guys. You are
    skilled and story telling is your craft. I
    hope we will see more of this on CNN.
    There are millions of stories out there.
    Untold stories that the world knows
    nothing about until some reporters
    stumbles upon it and tells the world.

  6. CNN has to be disappointed with the ratings
    for Thursday. The network could not even get
    a million viewers in prime time. It matters who
    you put in the chair. In the past there was a
    real journalist before Larry King so CNN did not
    have to worry about credibility.


    CNN has to reinvent itself and find new and
    interesting ways to bring us the news that is
    not the same tired old formulas. Crossfire &
    an hour long interview show with an accent
    is going no where. There is nothing new
    about CNN and they sound like they are
    about to become Crossfire 24/7. CNN has
    be doing that boring formula since the 90's.
    Evolve and modernize.

  7. Now that things have more or less stabalized in Egypt, and AC is back at the anchor desk, his ratings have taken a dive along with Piers Moron who spent this evening talking to Janet Jackson.
    Why? Is she that important?
    And to spend an entire hour...we've moved on Piers.
    So should you.
