Again, this is a page right out of the "oppresion by tyranny" playbook. Doesn't matter who it was or where they were from, they were getting assaulted all over the city, and in many instances hunted down. All while doing nothing more than trying to tell the story of what was happening.

Probably the first time I agree with this guy but claiming Anderson Cooper is sensationalizing this seems just a tad off. I mean this is the #1 world event right now, there are no other stories with this much importance. I'm almost a little impressed with the coverage, usually global events are slotted #2 right behind Lindsay Lohan doing a line of coke or some other stupid irrelevant ridiculous celebrity BS.
If you're feeling negatively about Anderson Cooper I would tack it up to years of CNN slowly eroding its credibility as a reliable news agency. Doesn't seem the case this time. This is the story, you have to be there to report it. It's important and furthermore if I was a journalist, this is exactly why I would have gone into journalism. This is legitimate contribution to society, revealing what the government is trying so hard to conceal. Revealing the truth and shedding the light, all that stuff.
On topic, another shining example of the problem with religion. I'm not saying religion caused the protests and subsequent fall of the Egyptian government, but I am saying it is the primary driver behind the future problems that seem to be inevitable should the Muslim Brotherhood take control.
