Surprising it wasn't 99%, as the
opponents boycotted the vote, 450 people who tried to post posters
against the “Constitution” were arrested, and the Egyptian
propaganda system, which has been gushing a niagara of the most
hysterical propaganda in support of the military oligarchy, has
presented it as a patriotic duty to vote “yes.”
NPR has been awful in its coverage.
Ignoring the massive repression.Even the BBC is better. As usual, one
has to go to either the fringes of establishment (aka
“respectable”) media for the facts you need, or alternatives like
democracynow.org.
