CAIRO — 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.
“The people ousted the regime,” proclaimed the once pro-Mubarak Al-Ahram on its front page. And an editorial by the state-run daily Al-Gomhouria called for greater transparency, complaining that “the sharks of the old regime sucked the life from Egypt.”
