Egyptians turn to unlikely source

As reported earlier today, Iran has followed Egypt in blocking access to online news sources such as the BBC, Reuters and Yahoo News. However, Egyptians are getting their news from an unlikely source- The Thorpe-Apps Report.  The Thorpe-Apps Report was founded by Andrew Thorpe-Apps in January 2011 and has become popular with young internet surfers.  The emergence of such sites makes it nearly impossible for national governments to effectively censor information on the web. The Thorpe-Apps Report can be found at  thorpe-apps.blogspot.com
