#3 "Al-Ahram is is the most widely circulating Egyptian daily newspaper...and one of the largest circulating newspapers in the world. The Egyptian government owns a controlling share of the stocks of the paper and appoints the editors. As appointees of the state, little censorship is exercised over them; it is understood that they are loyal to the state." - Wikipedia

Not "iffy" re: gravity. It'll land, just in whose control and in what condition may vary
