I think that the U.S role is to stay out of Egypt's political affairs. The media seems as if they are following all of the protestors and all the commotion that the protestors are stirring up. The media to me, seems as if they are not focusing a lot on President Mubarak, but they are focusing on the protestors that are fighting to get Mubarak out of office now and not on Mubarak's terms. The Egyptians do not want the U.S to get involved and they have asked the U.S government to stay out of it and that they can handle their issues without the U.S.
At this point in the rebellion, Mubarak and his supporters have been quite civil. There has also been no proof that says Mubarak has injured anyone. He appears to be rather sincere in my opinion. In his public speech he said that he will die in Egypt, "his home". Mubarak knows that today's technology is too advanced to where it will be almost impossible to hide any of alleged abuse of his citizens. It is also known that other fractions are creating problems on the streets of Egypt.
It appears that the media networks that favor President Obama, shows Egypt's cries in a good light. The anti-Obama media shows the Egyptian's cries in a bad light and as something horrible. Obama respects the will of the Egyptian government and its people. The U.S media feeds off of drama. They might hype it up by to boost their ratings and magazines and newspapers use it as well in a sense of "juicy, yet informative gossip".
