Snippet:
"I have decided I will not go back again," she told Reuters on Tuesday. "I left because the state TV coverage of the protests lacked the minimum level of ethical standards.

"During my breaks, I went to join my colleagues who were gathered around TV screens watching other news channels and we all saw ongoing violent mass protests rallying across Egypt," she said.
