View and Respond/ Egypt and Mubarak's Wealth
View the ABC news report and one of the other two (Al Jazerra or CNN) which report about Mubarak and how much he is worth. CBS and the other news stories report 2 very different numbers when they report Mubarak's worth. What are the two numbers? Why do you think the numbers are so different? Is there bias here? Why? How does this connect to Rome and the overthrow of the Umayyads?
