One big item missing from all coverage: Status of the Suez Canal - Is it open? Is the army protecting it? Is the navy protecting shipping? Is shipping being offloaded still?

Literally zero on either CNN or Fox so far as I’ve seen.

Is somebody stomaching BBC in this thread?

ON CNN: Recapping coverage from their correspondent at the ministry of information. Excellent video and even reporting.

Hard to say. The Suez Canal Authority’s website is certainly still down (along with all of the other Internet in Egypt)

Wolf Blitzer on next. I won’t be sitting around for that.

Yes, I’ve noticed the lack of coverage on the Suez Canal as well. I did see a tweet that said Navy Seals are there, but it’s just a tweet.
