Al-Ahram, the state-run newspaper in Egypt, recently ran the above photo of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak leading President Obama and other world leaders during Middle East peace talks at the White House.But that's not quite how the walk to the East Room played out. The BBC reports that Al-Ahram apparently had some fun with Photoshop, and placed the country's leader up front.
You can see the original Getty photo below.
Egyptian media has long faced government censorship, so it's not surprising the state-run newspaper would opt to place Mubarak ahead of the pack. News of the re-cut photo drew a swift rebuke from one of Egypt's leading opposition groups, the 6 April Youth Movement. "This is what the corrupt regime's media has been reduced to," a statement on the group's website said. The state-owned press had "crossed the line from being balanced and honest," the statement continued. But the specific reason for doctoring this photo is unclear, since Al-Ahram did not respond to the BBC's request for comment.

That's what happens when everything is control by a government. There is no true to it. Now all the Egyptian are having big stupid head thinking that their president is better. Worse is more powerful that President Barrak Obama. Fool
Please don't ever compare Egypt to Cambodia under Yuon control while Egypt self control used Islamic rules to censorship unlawful sex and news that violated the Muslim rules.
reply to 5:43.if you think Egyptian stupid and fool what country that has control Egypt since 10,000 years ago there are none, we Khmer people was carelessness and powerless to protect our country from neighboring country controlling Khmer land.
Y6:05am, you're a fool, because you follow a crock.
It doesn't matter who more powerful than who. It matters being honest or dishonest. It shows that Egyptian have some big explanation to do in the eyes of the world. Now Egyptian is a country that cann't be trust. Now Egyptian is a dishonest country and Egyptian is very deceptive. Thanks to the fool who did this. It's making Israel looking better than ever before. So , if the world wants to choose side, you know damm well which one has more weigh on the scale. Fool Egyptian for letting all the Muslim countries look like a dwarf.
Also it shows more and more that Communist countries are full of ugly people.

Egip was the most victimized country in the history. After the creation of the "Ariyerthor" (white)Aryan civilization, Egip over and over again invaded and controled by supper power from Alexender to Cesar, frothe Romain to German, Italian, Fernch, and English! She just freed after world war 2 like the rest of us!
The country that never be conceured after it forme may be only the Enland and the American.

Old England was colonized by the Romain too!
We can tell KI-Media is pretty much a CPP hater.
It always try to frame CPP with negative image.
What on earth does KI-Media connect CPP to any bad thing happening in the world.
What does Egypt have anything to do with CPP? It doesn't reflect the truth at all.
It's good that KI can bring up articles from the out side. At least Cambodian have a window to the world news.
10:15AM! are you love CPP so much or you just stupid because yourfather do it the wrong way!?
Where do KI try to frame CPP or say any thing about CPP in this Egyptian story?
Do KI post other story you put it all to CPP! I thing that your sick head told you so!
For me!!! THIS EGIP STORY is KI helping CPP! IT mean not only CPP of ah Hun Xen that stupid, the Egyptian too!
You not alone CPP! thank to KI, dumbo!

11:02 AM
10:15AM ! you son of a bitch how dare you Call Kingdome of Cambodia a Communist??? Dr. Hun Sen should takr care of you stupid!
11:02
At least 10:15 seems to be more civilized than you are.
Read your language and his, you can tell who is more educated.
I agree with 4:52.
It seems the 11:02 guy does not know how to behave well in accepting an opposite idea. There's no point to use street language. It just makes himself look less educated.
I am not at anybody's side, but in this case I support the 10:15 guy.
It is undeniable that KI-Media is absolutely not a fan of CPP. Not because of this one article but many many of other actions have already proven the allegation. Anyway, if we think about the free of expression, It's fine for KI-Media of doing that.
The dog is barking, the cart is still rolling.
I reed all Khmer opposition never said without word Youn at all the time so you are like Youn or what?
You always hat Youn,but you always eat noodle of Youn or shopping at Youn store you just said,but you never forgot Youn.So what happen to you? I believe who hat You they like Youn and someone keep quiet about Youn they don't like it.Khmer in Phnom Penh never said hat Youn all the way only Khmer khrom said like that.
Our poor people went to vote, but they could not do it, because their names had already chosen and voted for them by the CCP. As poor and weak as they are. They cann't fight. Everyone knows it.The similarity is just great between this media coverage and the Hun Sen.
This photo was taken at the White House's East Room in Washington DC. It was not in Cairo Egypt. It makes every sense that President Barrak Obama must walk first and guide the visitors around. It would be fool for the Egyptian's president to do the other way around. That's exactly what those fools are doing. They were trying to make an ass out of themselves.
6:45AM! nobody hate Youn!orVietnames! WE HATE the action that the Youn Vietnamese Communist is doing to out country and people!
In phnom penh Majority hate the fucking Vietnamese only the group that not say any thing are ah Kwack Hun Xen children they fucking with ah Youn tayhoung Hok Landy motherfucker children!!!!!
