Government and independent media alike have constantly lionized el-Sissi and depicted him as Egypt’s savior ever since — as head of the military — he led the army’s 2013 ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi after massive protests against Morsi and the power of his Muslim Brotherhood. Since el-Sissi’s election as president the following year, most media have continued to laud him as working to bring stability.
