    He wasn’t that hero at the time of Morssi , he was supported by the Amry , the Police forces , The Justice, the Media etc , i don’t know how you consider yourself a hero while everyone is supporting you to prepare and brainwash the masses for the upcoming Militay coup, the actual ruling of Egypt is always Army ,
    Once Morssi was eliminated by the Military Coup , his show was forbidden after one episode where he couldn’t use the same humour and he couldn’t say a word after the coup ! Knowing that the Army regime is and was way more terrible
    Morssi said himslef i will never forbid someone from expressing himslef ..
    The people of the Egypt rejected the first and the only democratically elected government and Bassim was a main tool to defame and criticise even diabolise the elected president ….

      Im not saying that i agree with the brotherhood approach especially when it comes to media and declarations, the way they didn’t play politics as they should ! But they were elected by the people democratically,they should ve acted accordingly , hearing the opposition voices before the allies.. 48 % were against them in day 1 after results were announced
      1 year of the work of Media mainly Bassim youssef , Adib family , Ahmed Moussa , Ibrahim Issa and others ..was enough to brainwash many egyptians..
      They were naïve , couldn’t see what was cooked for them , they ignored every significant voice which even differentiate with them , could be a support for them as the leader Hazim abu Ismael , and some other voices of the Islamist parties as « Annour » who had followers ..
      Hazim a real politician was ignored by the brotherhood , he could have helped them if they came together as one front against the planing of the army ..
      Morssi and some of his ministers were nice guys , to good to keep the power in hand…
      I think the responsibility of the coup is shared with everyone, some did it in purpose some did it by ignorance

    The stuff said about the limits of satire is just as true about our side of the pond, as well as thiers. Jon Steward and the rest can bring up all the topics they want, but we as a society are either too preoccupued or too scared to act. We have become complacent and let ourself be slaves to the status quo. Bassem Youssef is couragous and intelligent, I hope he will continue to inspire many more and maybe this inspiration will bring change someday. Not only in egypt but in the whole world
