Egyptian Chronicles: The seventh day : The Double faced Tv presenter

From few hours I saw The seventh day news report program on MBC TV only to see what Mr Mahmoud Saad was going to say about us . I didn't have an idea that one of his guest would be the dear co-blogger Alaa Seif himself , but I know I was very happy to see him for the second after the Al-jazeera documentary and hear him for the first live.

I will speak about Alaa , I don't know but I found him so shy , this is number one , he didn't expressed himself or explained what he represents from ideas or as identity for which he was hosted for and that is as a blogger , and this was n't his fault more the fault of the editors of the program , the other guest of the program and the hypocrite TV presenter of the program Mr Mahmoud Saad , but really I was happy to see him well and fine

The other guest is a Saudi writer and journalist , he was hosted of course to give the show some Arabic dimension as Arab sisters and brothers think that Egyptian TV presenters and editors only care for their country like in 10' clock daily program this is one , second and this much more important this is a Saudi channel whose main target audience is the Arabic gulf viewer

anyway I don't know but the Saudi guy was n't the best choice , the man is in a valley and Egyptian Arabic blogging experience is in another Vally , and of course that was Crystal clear when he said that we should gather and form some legal entity to protect us !! of course Alaa tried to explain for him the meaning of the independence of the INTERNET and it is hard to gather all bloggers yet they can gather on the matter interests and so on

Now to the big star Mahmoud Saad , I can't find words to describe him except the big fat hypocrite liar double faced person ,this guy is also presenting the daily program "El-Bit Batik" on Ch 2 of the national TV, this program is the one of the main supporting program to the Egyptian regime , he doesn't dare to say what he says on "The Seventh day" except of course the regular accepted criticism to the ministers . Really a big liar !! In the "Bit Batik " he can attack the Muslim Brothers , in this program tonight he admired Alaa's attitude toward them !!

Mahmoud Saad seems to me knows nothing about the blogs and what they are and their kinds and so on , blogs from him like many in this country are political, only political and this thanks to the unpleasant events that happened in the last months from arresting of bloggers who joined in a public demonstrations . Not all blogs are political , for God sake you are scaring people , there are social blogs ,artistic blogs and tech no blogs . Media is portraying us as a group of young people who are going to change the universe , we are not , as Alaa referred there is difference between Blogger and activist who goes down to street and a blogger like me sits in his/her house writing down all what he/she thinks about the world she lives in and the later is the majority .

Anyway the ignorance of Saad appeared on the screen when he said
