US news outlet V. Algeria

I looked at Aljezerra.com and Fox news and what I have found is that Aljezerra covered the Egyptian situation as it was happening. They found new news and explained what was happening while it was happening. Fox on the other hand (although I watch this on a normal basis) only covered certain spectacles. They found one piece of news and I felt like they beat it to death. They used the same video clip or audio to explain one source of happening for long periods of time while they were waiting for  new information. Aljezerra on the other hand told the news in action. They were live the whole time and told the story as it was happening with new live pictures and audio while it was going with continuous coverage. They were much easier to understand and with all the new information Aljezerra was there to cover the new information.
Fox though a great news station did not have the information or source that Aljezerra has. I feel like Egypt was very well covered by Algezerra.
