Egyptian State TV Broadcaster Resigns in Protest 
-------------------------------------------------



A broadcaster at the Egyptian state-run Nile TV station has resigned.
Shahira Amin said she quit because she was not allowed to report on what
was happening in Tahrir Square.

Shahira Amin: "I'm here in Tahrir Square, and I'm determined to be on
the side of the people, not the regime. And that's why I'm here."

Al Jazeera Anchor: "Right, and so you've resigned from Nile Television?"

bq Amin: "I walked out yesterday. I can't be part of the propaganda
machine. I'm not going to sheath the public eyes."
