I waisted my time to verify rumors on Twitter before a lot of FReepers and lurkers read MB’s malicious crap.
By phone, I was told that the original tweet was that the FOURTH ARMY “split” from the Egyptian military to stage a counter coup.
They got laughed out of the site by Egyptians who told them that THERE IS NO FOURTH ARMY!
The bastards were embarrassed to death and change “FOURTH ARMY” to “SECOND ARMY” which ain’t true either.
I believe it’s an al Qaeda Syrian who wrote the lie because of his experience in Syria where an army of exclusively Shiites indeed “SPLIT” and joined the anti-Assad beards.
Since we’re in the misinformation department here’s another:
Egyptians watching the CNN coverage from Tahrir Square heard the announcer/reporter saying while pointing to TS crowd behind him: this is the PRO-MORSI HUGE CROWD IN TS BEHIND ME!
The rebels immediately whipped out signs to CNN: CNN, we are ANTI-MORSI, YOU LIARS!
Last I heard, CNN came out with a correction seen and heard here to say ANTI-MORSI NOT PRO-MORSI and also underlined on their crawler.
We really have to be careful not to confuse FReepers and lurkers.
THANK YOU dear melancholy. If I see anything else that looks - weird, bad, strange - I will freepmail you.
Good news!

Good on them...they are armed for this propoganda war...and it is one.
I hope that wasn’t a deliberate effort by CNN to misinform on behalf of Obama’s ape-man friend Morsi (Piss be upon him).
