Fighting state media lies

Egypt
Description: 

Most Egyptians get their news from free state television which is in practice a mouthpiece for Egypt's military. The state media unfailingly portray the miltary as great state protectors, and the demonstrators as trouble-seekers spreading unrest. A political party, the Revolutionary Forces Alliance, have been travelling the country using a bed sheet and video projector to publicly screen videos showing police and military brutality. Their campaign, '3askar Kazeboon' (Military Liars), uses visual evidence to present a counter-narrative to the state media's lies.
