And the media turned their attention away from Egypt to neighboring nations.

| | Source: PEJ Research; Date Posted: February 17, 2011 | | In social media, YouTube viewers remained fixated on the dramatic events that deposed the 30-year leader of Egypt. But on both blogs and Twitter, the attention turned elsewhere—to a domestic issue that many saw as a civil liberties litmus test. |
| | Source: PEJ Research; Date Posted: February 12, 2011 | | The story from Egypt seemed to ebb and then peak
last week, leading to a rush of coverage once the demonstrations turned into a

coverage last week. Now comes the hard part—understanding what will happen

The top subjects for bloggers last week involved
Washington-centric stories, but not the one that galvanized much of the

featuring remarks by talk host Glenn Beck became the subject of a debate about
inflammatory speech.

Senator John McCain’s support for President Obama’s speech at the Arizona memorial and the dawn of a new GOP-led House of Representatives focused bloggers’ attention last week.

Attention to the health of both Gabrielle
Giffords and civic discourse helped fuel continuing coverage of the Tucson
shooting spree last week. Some White House summitry, hard times for state treasuries
and another round in the legislative battle over health care reform also generated
significant coverage.

| | Source: PEJ Research; Date Posted: January 20, 2011 | | The online conversation last week focused heavily on the aftermath of the Arizona shooting spree that left six dead and 13 wounded. The most prominent element debated, according to a separate PEJ report released earlier this week, was the level of vitriol in political rhetoric today.
